A few days have passed since the end of Strong Like Bull 2010 and we wanted to thank everyone that helped make it the best year yet and share with you some of the memories that were captured. We also wanted to give you all of the information about 2011.
First off here is some great stuff from 2010:
Bobby or www.ironmanbobby.com took over 800 pictures of the second session and put together the top ones here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/48157819@N03/sets/72157623569297012/
He also did a video podcast of one of the days we had here: http://www.ironmanbobby.com/frontpage/2010/2/24/spain-day-2.html
Christine Lynch took a ton of photos too and posted them here: http://picasaweb.google.com/christinelynch.hhc/SLB2010?authkey=Gv1sRgCPj36rHIpOPjKg&feat=directlink#slideshow/5444792976643193490
Also my blog entries for the camps can be found here: http://johnhirsch.org/?p=1765
2010 was a really awesome year!!!
2011:
The dates for the camps are:
Camp 1: Tuesday 2/9/2011 – Thursday 2/18/2011
Camp 2: Saturday 2/19/2011 – Monday 2/28/201
The Price is the same again this year and we are offering incentives for early sign up.
The price is $925 if you sign up by April 1st, 2010.
The price is $1025 if you sign up by October 1st 2010.
If there are still spots the price is 1125 if you sign up after October 1st 2010.
To sign up email info@stronglikebulltraining.com or email me hyctn [at] aol [dot] com
Again we are including 2 free days to anyone tough enough to do both camps!
There will be one change for 2011. After several years wit Idle Breaks we will not be back with them in 2011. They requested a price increase that would have required us to raise our rates 40%. We are committed to keeping this camp affortable and feel we can provide equal or higher value without a price increase.
To that end we have rented a popular facility in Trabuco used by other teams and camps called Cortijo del Nava. Cortijo Del Nava is a fantastic cortijo with central heating, larger rooms, a paved driveway and located only minutes from the center of Trabuco which offers a proper plaza, cafes, shops and allows athletes a chance to unwind in an unthentic Spainish town. Cortijo del Nava will have owners on site to look after our needs. To get a tour of Strong Like Bull’s new digs check the slide show here:

We also hired health counselor and triathlete Christine Lynch of www.liveandeatbetter.com to oversee the cooking and dietary needs of the athletes. She will be providing 3 meals a day to fuel and power your training and aid in your recovery. She will again be teaching yoga classes as well.
We have rented vans and will be able to provide all transportation within Spain including airport pick up and drop off. All rides will also be guided as well as supported with a sag vehicle. We will also continue use the swim center we have been using and provide transportation to and from there as well for the triathletes.
We have started a Face Book page for SLB here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Strong-Like-Bull-Training-Camps/10150100230460103
We also updated www.stronglikebulltraining.com and you should check there for updates throughout the year as well.
We can not wait to make 2011 amazing and really hope you are there!!!
