The SOS Boot Camp is a training weekend dedicated to first time SOS athletes who are registered for the race. The weekend is designed to run through each leg of the course (with some modifications) along side local SOS veterans and top performers. Each leg will include tips and tales from Boot Camp guides and secrets on "how to" from carrying shoes or wearing socks to running or walking Cardiac Hill and Godzilla.  

An informal, catered dinner is held where participants can get to know one another off the course, mingle with their SOS Boot Camp guides, meet the SOS Triathlon founder (and hear a few tips too). A talk given by SOS veterans and open Q&A follows dinner. 

The SOS Boot Camp will introduce first time racers to the SOS Community and the goal of fostering the "spirit" of the SOS Triathlon.

We had a lovely trip to the Orange County Arboretum. We first planned the trip in the spring but got rained out. When we finally went in June, we found at the garden remnants of bulbs and newly planted annuals. When we return again, we will go earlier in the year to see the blooming spring bulbs or wait until the late summer when the annuals have grown in. 

We enjoyed lunch at Gardiner's Bakehouse after. 

Please email Joanna at recreation@townofnewpaltzny.gov if you have a request for our next trip!
