We are proud and excited to announce that we will be returning to the Scottsdale and Phoenix area for Experience Triathlon’s 2016 Spring Training Camp – a dream destination for athletes with over 300 days of sunshine annually and incredible scenery! Our trip is tailored to incorporate the best cycling routes amongst the most diverse southwestern ecosystem in our country. Our training adventure will include exhilarating road rides on buttery smooth pavement as well as (new this year!) a guided mountain bike tour to Brown’s Ranch in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, home to the Valley of the Sun’s best mountain biking and views. Also new this year will be an outdoor swim session in a state of the art 8-lane lap pool at the breathtaking McDowell Mountain Ranch Aquatic & Fitness Center. To help us recover, we’ll once again enjoy a private yoga session and the compression boots and hot/cold plunge pools at one of cycling’s most comprehensive performance centers called FASTER.

We’ll once again enjoy accommodations at the spectacular and aptly named Carefree Resort & Conference Center nestled in the gorgeous Sonoran Desert and shrouded by the majesty of the Continental Mountains. After our training days are done, we’ll find a place where our tension melts away at this charming resort renowned for its hospitality, casual comfort and unbridled luxury. The nearby towns of Carefree and Cave Creek offer an ample selection of charming eateries and stores just minutes from our resort. At night, we’ll be able to let our cares slip away as we relax on our private balconies and gaze at stars shining so big and bright they seem close enough to touch.
