Itinerary

Day 1 — Sunday | Arrival & Activation

Focus: Settle in, shake out travel fatigue, set intentions

Athletes arrive in Onomichi and check into the guesthouse. After bike setup/fitting and a brief orientation, we head out for a short activation run to loosen the legs and wake up the body. The evening is spent together over a welcome dinner featuring local cuisine, where we review the camp goals, training approach, and the days ahead.

Training

• Easy aerobic run + strides

• Mobility and light stretching

• Welcome dinner & camp orientation

Welcome dinner & camp orientation

Day 2 — Monday | Endurance & Technique

Focus: Aerobic base, rhythm, and efficiency

The first full training day takes us onto the Shimanami Kaido for a long, steady endurance ride. Athletes are grouped by pace, with clear targets for aerobic efficiency and fueling practice. After recovery and lunch, the afternoon is dedicated to swim technique and open-water skills (conditions permitting), emphasizing sighting, pacing, and confidence.

Training

• Long endurance ride (Shimanami Kaido)

• Swim technique & open-water skills

Day 3 — Tuesday | Intensity, Bricks & Culture

Focus: Race execution and active recovery

The morning session introduces controlled intensity on the bike followed by a short transition run to practice pacing under fatigue. After lunch, the afternoon shifts gears with a guided cultural experience — a walk through Onomichi’s hillside temples and a ropeway ride to Senkoji Park. This serves as both a mental reset and active recovery before an optional easy run or mobility session.

Training

• Bike intervals + transition run (brick)

• Optional recovery run or yoga

Experience

• Cooking class or Japanese Langauage class

Day 4 — Wednesday | Simulation & Wrap-Up

Focus: Integration, confidence, and next steps

The final day brings everything together with a mini triathlon simulation, allowing athletes to apply pacing, nutrition, and transition skills learned throughout the camp. After lunch, we close with a group debrief and individual feedback, helping each athlete translate the camp into a clear path forward for the season.

Training

• Swim / bike / run simulation
