Erik Schlimmer tells the story of how he learned to fastpack the Adirondacks, a grueling 110 miles and 19,000 vertical feet of climbing, in five days with only 11 pounds on his back.
When this issue hits the gyms and stores, the story that inspired this column will be old news, but I’m writing about it anyway because I think it raises some really important issues in the active community.
City Coach Multipsort is
going country and holding a triathlon training camp in Rhineback, N.Y. May
16-18 for duathletes and triathletes of all levels.
Staff includes world record holder and triple Ironman champion Christopher Bergland, former Chelsea Piers Aquatics Director Robert Watson, and City Coach President Jonathan Cane.In addition, local elites Edie Perkins, Lauren Beam and Nate Horne will be on hand as group leaders. The camp will include 2-3 daily coached workouts, underwater swim video, and 1-2 daily skills and strategy workshops.
Rhineback is approximately two hours north of Manhattan via car or railroad, and provides great opportunities for training on lightly traveled roads and trails. The swims will be held in a 6-lane 25-yard pool being used exclusively by camp participants. More info is available by calling City Coach at 718-832-BIKE or at www.citycoach.org.
