2022 World Triathlon Development Regional Cup took place in Durazno, Uruguay on November 6th. Prior to the Regional Cup, a World Triathlon Development Camp was hosted with 31 athletes from 9 countries, 21 men and 10 women. 5 coaches attended and supported across the camp and the race including Mario Cordón GUA, Javier del Carpio PER, Graciela Jurado BOL, Claudio Adam POR, The camp had Mauricio Rivas URU as Head Coach and Javier Mon as the Continental Coordinator.
“I’m sure that these activities are very useful to promote the relationship between young triathletes that usually don’t have the opportunity to develop trainings and share their free time with friends with the same hobbies and objectives in sport and life. When they are finishing the camps and the races they are waiting for the next event to see each other again. With the coaches is exactly the same, they have a very similar profile of lifestyle and they use these development activities (meetings, workshops and other moments) to acquire new knowledge and share their experience,” said Continental Coordinator Javier Mon.
Activities across the Development Camp included:
• Athlete training
• Performance controls: swimming 400m, running 1.5km, cycling 5min
• Special Seminar: about long-term triathlon planning with Ultiminio Álvarez MEX, Javier Mon ESP
• Workshops with coaches
