BASE CAMP FLORIDA 2021
"Base Camp was just what my soul needed this week. I can’t say it any better then Bret! This is my tribe, this is my family, this is MY TEAM!
Thank you to all my Teamies who made it such an amazing camp, and to Matt, Lauralee, Jay, Rachel and all of you behind the scenes that do what you do to bring this big crazy family together! And to Bret for the 🌮 truck! #tacosarelife" SAFETY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR OUR TEAM MEMBERS, SO THE FOLLOWING PROTOCOLS MUST BE ADHERED TO Before I get started, the two most important things about BASE Camp Florida. This is a FUN FOCUSED camp where you get to meet and spend time with your other BASE Teammates. This is a social camp for people who like to drink wine, have fun, and train a little. This is not an ego camp go crush the person next to you. Except when we are doing some sets in the pool. Then it's game on. Camp Cost: - Registration will open November 15th. Includes: Group led training sessions. 1 BASE Camp T-Shirt. 1 bag of BASE Hydro. Swim lane reservation. 1 Face Mask. Catered Dinner on Thursday and Saturday. Bowling Alley Lanes on Friday. - if you decide not to eat with the group or Bowl with the group, I am sorry but we are not able to refund you the difference. We are trying to provide these camps to our BASE team members as economically as possible, but in doing so we have to prevent everyone signing up and canceling at the last minute. Hence the reason for a small fee. We need to provide accurate numbers to the pool in order for us to have lane reservations. The National Training Center which is hosting our swim workouts charges $20 / camper per day. Hence that is where the bulk of your registration money is applied. We are also bringing in coaches to assist and help. If you register and at the last minute you cannot attend, you will NOT receive a refund on your payment or the product as we will have had to use the money to secure non refundable lane space in the pools. You DO have the ability to transfer your registration to someone else if you are not able to attend. I set this up in Active so that you can do it. We are sorry but there are NO discounts. The pool charges us the full amount. We are not able to tell them "well we only had 96 swimmers in the water today and not 100, so can we get a $20 / person discount" This camp will be a ZONE 1 effort camp where we have fun and get in some fun mileage. We will be swimming for 90 minutes for the 3 of the 4 days. We will never do anything harder than a Zone 2 effort. Except for some sprints in the pool. We will do some climbing at Sugar Loaf mountain. It's a big hill. If you go to Air BNB, you will see a lot of homes for rent about 10 minutes away from the NTC. This is where we should all stay, in the same neighborhood. Most workouts will be at or start / finish at the National Triathlon Training Center (NTC) The address is: 1935 Don Wickham Drive. Clermont, FL 34711 You will fly into Orlando International Airport. It is about a 30 minute drive. You will want to leave Clermont 3 hours before your flight on Sunday. Due to Disney, you want to get to the airport no less than 2 hours early. Trust me. Training Schedule: All workouts are optional, below is what is scheduled. NOTHING HARD. ALL FUN.

No track. No speedwork. Fun social runs. Friday will be exciting and different, but we will never race each other running. Campers should arrive Wednesday at any time so they are prepared to go Thursday morning at 7:30 AM. We will do team dinners every night. The focus of the camp is to train in the morning, have fun in the afternoon / evening and get to know other people. Partners such as Quintana Roo, REV 3 and Normatec will be providing us with demonstrations. Accommodations: I HIGHLY recommend that you rent a house with a group of friends. It will save you a ton of money and be a lot more fun. Starting on December 1st, we will start an online type house bid on the Team Facebook Page. Matt will rent a house, and then the first people to pay him via paypal will get into that house. We keep doing this until everyone has a room in a house unless you want to do a hotel. If you can please get together with your friends and arrange your housing, I would be forever grateful. If you are going to rent a house with your friends, please rent in the same neighborhood as HOME BASE. Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday night events will be held here. We will have each house outfitted with 2 sets of Normatec boots so you can recover each night. To Summarize, you have 3 options for housing. BIKE RENTAL - This is NOT Set in Stone yet, but highly likely Last year, Quintana Roo was on site with Bike Rentals. I Highly recommend this. If you fly, it will cost you $300 round trip to bring your bike. Plus you will have to pack it and put it together. QR will rent you one for $250 for the entire time. It will be ready by the time you get there. If after camp you decide to purchase a brand new QR, you will receive an additional $250 credit on top of your BASE Team Deal Discount. What you will need: Swim: Swim Paddles, Buoy, Goggles, BASE Cap, Great Attitude Bike: Bike, Helmet, Sunglasses, Sunblock, Shoes, Amazing Attitude Run: Running Shoes, Run Gear, Sun Block, Great Personality Nutrition: You will only be provided with one bag of Hydro. I recommend you bring your own training food such as BASE Bars.
