Fall Half Ironman Training Camp


Finish Strong Coaching hosted a Fall Half Ironman Training Camp at La Torretta Lake Resort on Lake Conroe on September 10-12. On Friday evening, participants gathered for interactive discussions on nutrition and hydration and other considerations for going long from Coach Dana Lyons.

On Saturday, everyone enjoyed spectacular weather as they biked the 56-mile Iron Star course with sag support. The route included some beautiful hilly roads that traverse along the scenic Sam Houston Park. A relaxing swim and lunch followed.

Participants were given special attention by Dr. Jude Guillory who provided RenuviPro Performance Therapy. After lunch, several workshops on bike fit, workouts, heart rate and power based training were conducted by Coach Dana Lyons. The day ended with an easy run for those interested.

On Sunday morning, everyone was up bright and early to run the Iron Star Half Ironman course. Afterwards, Coach Tim Monk gave an open water swim clinic and participants swam a portion of the Iron Star course in Lake Conroe. Everyone enjoyed chatting over a lunch break and then wrapping up the weekend with a hands-on transition clinic.
