2012 Wildflower Training Weekend

THIS INFORMATION Will HELP Us to Prepare you to GET THE MOST OUT OF Your Wildflower Training Weekend.

April 20-22, 2012

TRAVEL & LODGING

We are headed to gorgeous Lake San Antonio, and have cabins reserved from Friday April 20th through Sunday April 22nd. The TRIMORE FITNESS team will be there by about 1:30pm on Friday, and will have training options available from 3pm on. If you will be arriving after 9pm on Friday, please  be sure to let us know at info@trimorefitness.com so that we know to “leave the lights on” for you!

Lodging:
Cabin 2 is located closest to general store.  This is a large cabin that sleeps 5-6 guest plus 1 TRIMORE Staff.   Queen room has a private bathroom. This room can be booked as a single or double occupancy.  It is up to the participants to share payment.  This cannot be split online.   The second room has 2 full size beds for 2 guests total.  Third room has bunk beds.  Participants can thumb war for top bunk space.

Cabins 9-12 are located above the general store.  These cabins sleep 4-6 guests plus 1 TRIMORE Staff. Each cabin has private room option(s).  Queen room has a private bathroom. This room can be booked as a single or double occupancy.  It is up to the participants to share payment.  This cannot be split online.   The second room has a full size bed.  Again this can be booked as a private or shared room.  Third room has bunk beds.  Participants can arm wrestle for top bunk space.

For the adventurous types, we have a limited number of camping spaces available.  You will need to bring your own camping gear.  Campers will receive all the training, coaching and lectures while enjoying natures beauty.

Detailed directions can be found HERE. But essentially take Hwy 101 south to the Jolon Road G-14 exit just north of King City.  This will take ~3 hours.  Proceed south on G-14 approximately 20 miles. At Lockwood make a right turn on Interlake Road (G-14) and proceed 13 miles and turn left onto San Antonio Road. Proceed another 3 miles to the park.

We will have a parking pass waiting for you at the gates.  Note: we are limited on parking passes, so we highly encourage carpooling. If you are interested in being connected with someone else that is carpooling, please contact us at info@trimorefitness.com and we will help you connect!

WHAT TO BRING

Each cabin is actually more of a “temporary mobile home” and has a full kitchen and linen service.  So there is no need to bring any camping cookware, sheets or towels.  HOWEVER, if you are like me and prefer a snuggly bed and big fluffy towels out of a shower…then by all means pack an extra blanket and an extra towel or two.  Also – bring whatever toiletries (soap / shampoo / conditioner) you will need.

Weather will vary from 30′s at night, to mid-70′s during the day. Pack your gear to support this — bring warm clothes and sweatshirts for the night / off hours, and sunny workout gear.  We’ll do fireside chats, so consider bringing a folding chair, extra “outdoor” blanket and other things that are useful at a campfire. LSA- Current Weather Condition

DO NOT bring any pets. No pets are permitted in or around the cabins. Sorry, no exception to this rule.

When it comes to your gear – pack as if you were packing for the race itself.   If you need anything the TRIMORE Store is just a click away, you can buy now and we can bring it down with us.

You are responsible for bringing your own training nutrition (this includes liquids). There is only water available, and the nearest store is an hour away.

We will provide a continental breakfast each day (coffee, juice, bagels) and BBQ on Saturday night.  If you have special nutritional needs for those meals, we encourage you to pack for them.

Dinner on Friday, lunches and snacks each day, are on your own.  Please bring your own food for these meals (including liquids).  Remember to shoot for a balance of carbs, proteins, salts and veggies.  And while we are not planning on “pot luck, sharing”, it usually happens, so if you bring more to share – that’s great.

HOW TO PREPARE

From Wednesday on, pay attention to your sleeping and eating.  Your body needs to start “banking” sleep and nutrition now.  This means if you normally “skip” breakfast on the weekdays – start eating it now.  Make sure you are not putting yourself in the position of “starving” yourself (eg: skipping meals or delaying them until you are unreasonably hungry).  Drink lots of water.  Try to get at least 9 hours of sleep in each night.  Thursday night should be your “lockdown” night.  A good healthy dinner with a balance of carbs, proteins and lots of liquid, followed by a good night’s sleep.  Get your gear packed well ahead of time so that you’re not running around at the last minute.

Make sure the rest of your world is prepared to have you out of it for 2 days.  This is your weekend to focus on YOU, and you will need 100% of your concentration on the training in order to make the most out of it. In addition, there is limited (almost none) cell reception at Lake San Antonio (depending on who your carrier is), so you will want to set expectations that you are not going to be easy to reach.
