Endurance Nation Training Camp

Four day camp in Madison, WI from Endurance Nation to prep for Ironman Racing. Even if you are not into iron-distance racing, this is still a great opportunity to increase mileage and endurance! Cost is only $25!!! However you need to provide your own lodging, food, etc. Most camps of this nature cost SIGNIFICANTLY more than this one put on by EN, so take advantage of this!
