AAA TRAINING CAMPS 2008
ITS BACK ! - The Legendary North Queensland Pre Hawaii training camp.
Saturday 23rd to Sunday 31st August
In the magnificent Cairns Highlands, Port Douglas & Daintree rainforest region this camp has it all. Perfectly placed 6 weeks out from Kona, this camp proved to be a huge sucess for many Australian athletes looking to escape the southern winter and do some solid k's in the scenic wonderland of North Queensland. Alternatively, its an ideal start to your Ironman WA campaign or other summer season goals.
Our first 4 nights we are based on the shores of Lake Tinaroo as we train in and around the nearby volcanic lakes of Eacham and Barrine, cycle the rolling hills of the Atherton Tablelands and in the evening relax and unwind on the deck for some glorious sunsets.
We then cycle across the top of the range and down into the famous tourist village of Port Douglas, where a long ocean swim and run awaits and some evenings at the many wonderful restaurants on offer. The final day 170k ride across the ferry of the word heritage Daintree river to Cape Tribulation and return is one you will never forget.

Thanks for a great time on the first North QLD AAA camp. It really was an enjoyable week with a great bunch of people and easily the best training I have done in Australia. The week has definitely helped me prepare well for Kona. I will be back in the future for sure!

My bicycle and I returned fitter, wiser and inspired after this fantastic week away. We were challenged but we were also spoiled. We must have peddled through some of the most beautiful places in the world, we took on the wind through tiny country towns in the Atherton Tablelands, we climbed the mountain ranges and we ventured into the Daintree Rainforest. We soothed our legs in crisp mountain streams, we swam in streams, lakes, pools and beaches. Our tummies were constantly treated and the local hospitality was wonderful. It was a tough training camp and I know that in Hawaii I'll reflect on a few moments from the week to get me through.

"Last year I was provided with an amazing opportunity to train in far North QLD, up on the Atherton Tablelands with Scott Penny and his group from AAA Fitness. This was in preparation for the 2005 Hawaiian Ironman. I spent a week in a training camp based in the Cairns Highlands around Lake Tinaroo. What an experience & adventure - beautiful crystal clear lakes to swim in, long open country roads that wound up and over the mountains or through the heartland of the Atherton, and fantastic forests and open country dirt roads to run on. This training camps for anyone that wants spectacular scenery, rides that take you up to the highest point in QLD, great coffee shops & food, some interesting wildlife, perfect weather conditions in preparation for Hawaii or just to get away from the unpredictable conditions in the south, and not a sound at night, other than the odd camp fire and millions of stars to view. The whole experience was well organised and offered fantastic facilities for accommodation and training. I would endorse this camp 100%."
