Pre-Race Thanyapura Camp Details:

The luxurious Thanyapura Triathlon Training Centre in Thailand (http://www.Thanyapura.com) has invited ANY of us who are going on 2013 Thailand Triathlon Adventure for a private, all-inclusive luxury training camp from November 16-21. Thanyapura is a not just a training center, but also an integrative health centre with naturopathic docs, sports psychologists, and professional triathletes on staff to help train us.

So if you’re going on the trip, and you want to tack on a few extra days before that first race, I’d highly recommend you do this. It’s the chance of a lifetime and is going to be an amazing experience for you.
