First Triathlon Training Camp in Trang
Held from 10.03 - 13.03 at the Amari Trang Beach Resort & Spa, Thailand

Turquoise sea, limestone formations, lush tropical forest and five-star facilities formed the breathtaking backdrop for a Triathlon Training Camp organised by TRIBOB Events Company from Singapore.

Apart from the five-star luxury services, there was nothing comfortable about the camp as 12 Athletes from Australia, Germany, Malaysia, England and Holland soon found out. The professional coaches worked out a grueling training regime, which started with a leisurely 100-kilometre bike ride, shortly after landing in Krabi.

The exhausted group was welcomed by the Resort General Manager Mr Andreas Mueller and his assistant Mr Philip Reutener and was served refreshing juices and much needed cold towels. Then, after a carbo-loading pasta dinner and a good night's rest, swimming was on the training schedule for the next day.

Supported by the Resort's luxury catamaran and under the trainers' watchful eyes, the group swam 5 kilometres in the open sea from Koh Muk to Koh Kradan, the location of the Amari Trang Beach Resort's private Beach Club. Here, the Athletes received a warm welcome and enjoyed rest and a sumptuous lunch, before returning by boat to the Resort.

Bikes stood in waiting and, after a short change of attire, they were off on a 60-km bike ride, followed by an easy jog on the beach, into the sunset.

Day three and a 180-km long distance bike ride proved to be the toughest challenge, as midday temperatures rose to 38?C. The Resort's activity team provided support, following the riders closely with drinks, first aid and technical assistance, until the team arrived back safely at the Resort and enjoyed a well-deserved spa treatment at the Amari Trang Beach Resort Sivara Spa.

The last day saw a 10-km morning beach run, and the General Manager joined in the run, achieving a personal best time over that distance.

A complete success, TRIBOB with return next year with another Triathlon Training Camp. For information and further details, visit www.tribob.com, or contact gm@trangbeach.amari.com.
