The courses will be led by Simon Ward of TheTriathlonCoach.com, 220 Coach of the year 2009 and one of the UKs leading elite and age group coaches.

"The camps will familiarise athletes with the various aspects of the course, which looks like it could be super fast! We'll also cover things like planning and fine tuning your training, nutrition and race strategy.

"Iron distance racing invariably requires athletes to overcome challenges throughout their training and preparation and on the day itself. Attending a camp will give athletes every opportunity to prepare themselves for success."

Athletes will have the opportunity to try swimming in Holme Pierrepont Lake during the second camp, and both camps will incorporate elements of running and cycling as well. Based at Holme Pierrpont, the camps will familiarise athletes with how things will be set up when the Outlaw takes place on 8th August 2010.

Places for the camps, and for the race are still available, but filling fast! Make sure you are properly prepared when the Outlaw kicks off this August!
