For all levels and abilities of triathletes, from sprint on up to Ironman competitors. Recreational and age group "weekend warriors" will raise their fitness level and increase skills to gain further enjoyment from the sport of triathlon. Racers will work with coaches to improve all aspects of their training and skills to see improved results.
Barbara Buenahora, Latin America's #1 Pro Ironman Triathlete, as well as Juan Mutti, 3-time Argentina National Ironman Champion and owner of sports medicine facility will join us at all workouts and work 1-on-1 with each athlete in addition to coaches to help you achieve your goals.
We will be utilizing a vast array of world-class, private training facilities (see seperate page for details) all located within several blocks of the hotel, under the full-time supervision of many of the biggest names in the triathlon world.
In addition to triathlon training, participants will have the option to take part in Half-Ironman Mar del Plata, an official internationally-sanctioned Ironman Triathlon.
For those who choose to compete, the experience is unlike any other. All of Mar del Plata shuts down to give racers complete use of major city and surrounding countryside streets. Tens of thousands of spectators turn out to cheer you on every step of the way. The race begins with a swim through the Atlantic Ocean starting on the beach alongside Casino Central, the world's largest casino.
The bike portion travels along the coast, using Mar del Plata's most prominent streets where spectators pack 3-deep along the curb. The run brings you through the heart of the city, where, cheered on by thousands you will finish just before the beach and be crowned an International Ironman Finisher and be eligible for Age Group awards as well.
This will be held at the beautiful Mar Del Plata on the Argentina coast.
What is the price of all this ?
Paying for training sessions with expert coaches for 9 days, at a typical coach rate of $70/hour, even for just 3 hours each day would cost you $1890. Add in the cost of massages, use of a velodrome, use of an Olympic-sized pool, and you're already well over $2000! And that's just in your home town.
For this trip, you get all of this plus your lodging, meals, clothes, race fees, access to the expert coaches all day,
and use of the beach club, and airport pick up and drop off for just $1795! (as long as you sign up by January 31st, 2008). Pretty nice deal when you consider even a new bike would cost you more! The only thing you are responsible for is getting yourself down to Mar Del Plata.
Each additional day is $150. For Mar del Plata, single rooms are available for an additional $300 for the entire 10-day stay. Price does not include airfare.
Big discounts are available for clubs or groups of 5 or more!
Cost per person is $1395, which is a 23% savings from our normal rate of $1795! Based on 10 days/9 nights (see dates page for more information), additional days are also available for $100 per day, a 33% discount from our normal rate of $150 per day!
Mike Fraysse called the area "like Italy, only cheaper, and cleaner"!
