Serpentine Triathlon Camp

This weekend Driven to Tri hosted 20 of London's Serpentine lady triathletes in Bath. This was our first ’ladies only’ triathlon camp (except for the guy coaches) and we had a great time. We had a good mix of seasoned veterans and relative new comers. It is always a bit daunting when you get triathletes attending your camp when they have been competing in triathlon twice as long as you have!!! One of the attendees , a Serpentine coach(and triathlete), has 20 years in the sport.

We were very lucky with the weather and had two days of lovely sunshine and mild temperatures. This made our track and outdoor bike transition session an absolute pleasure.

On Saturday night the ladies organised a meal which was good fun. It was a nice way to wind down after a full-on day.

We hope everyone took away something and enjoyed the weekend end and are looking forward to some feedback to improve our next camp.

A special thanks to the Serpentine coaches Katie and Beate who helped organise things and a big thank you to Jenny Gowans, one of Serpentine's seriously fast chics, who sparked the idea of the Serpentine ladies only camp.


Good luck this year to everyone who attended. We hope each one of you reaches or exceeds your goals!
