The W+ TriCamp is an initiative to create an exclusive event for women. In early April, we gathered some girls from Team W+ and headed to Avis, 150km from Lisbon, for 3 days of swim, bike, run, and fun.
The Herdade da Cortesia welcomed us with all the facilities it has for training camps, a perfect place for swimming both in a pool and in open water. With quiet and challenging roads for hours of cycling, and diverse roads for kilometers of running.
These 3 days served as an experience to learn everything that is required to create an event totally dedicated to women. We already know that we are not small men, even though we do the same as them, but we need to have a different structure and training, precisely because we have different needs. But this is a topic for another post.
What we want with this Camp is to bring the experience of training like a professional athlete, but also to leave our daily concerns at home and focus on ourselves. Training, eating well, resting, but also reconnecting with ourselves, letting suppressed emotions come out from the daily rush, exchanging experiences with other women, and enjoying the best that the Herdade has to offer us.
