SavageCamp is 9 days of very heavy Ironman training in the mountains for a competitive group of triathletes training for Lake Placid. Those who survive the entire week and two weekends of this overload training in the mountains will emerge strong and race-ready.
The plan is:
6/14 - 100 mile ride
6/15 - 2+ hour run, swim
6/16 - 80 mile ride + short run, swim
6/17 - SavageMan course (1 loop run) = 1.2 swim, 57 bike, 6.5 run
6/18 - long swim, 90 minute run
6/19 - Monongahela Massacre (105 ride), swim
6/20 - long swim, SavageMan Intl bike (24 miles), short run
6/21 - SavageMan Diabolical Double (125 miles)
