About the NTTC

 

Founded in November of 1982 by triathletes Mark Wendley and Tom Peters, the National Triathlon Training Camp (NTTC) held the world’s first triathlon camp in Malibu, California in May of 1983.  From 1986 to 1994, the NTTC also ran the sport’s most successful racing team, recording over 190 wins and 650 top-10 finishes in triathlons worldwide.   

 

In 2006, after an 11-year hiatus, NTTC returned with a new business plan, a new Title Sponsor, and a hunger to regain our spot at the pinnacle of triathlon.  Team Sport Beans/NTTC is being led by a new group of world-class and up-and-coming pros, who have already won 28 triathlons and notched 72 top-10 finishes since 2006.  Our pros also work on staff at our triathlon camps and clinics.  The team is open to everyone!  When you join, you’ll get lots of freebies plus member discounts on NTTC camps, clinics, tours, team apparel and equipment, and much more!  We’ve also added the most affordable, fully-customized online triathlon coaching available.  Please check out all our programs and enjoy your stay at the NTTC web site.  WELCOME!

Brad on his way to one of the fastest marathon splits of the day.

Seng Clocks 9:21:07 in Kona!

 

Brad Seng clocked 9:21:07 at the Ironman Triathlon World Championship in Kona, Hawaii on October 13.  He finished 43rd pro man and 78th overall.  His swim (not his best event) was solid at 1:00:22 and his marathon was stellar at 2:53:51 (6:38 minute per mile pace), one of the day's fastest.  However, problems with a strained glut muscle by his lower back slowed him significantly on the bike.  His 5:21:27 cycling split (20.91 mph) was 30 to 45 minutes slower than expected.  As it was, he came off the bike in 329th place and ran himself all the way up to 78th.

Jensen 5th at Ironman Wisconsin! 
 
Lauren Jensen capped her successful season on September 9 by placing 5th at Ironman Wisconsin, clocking 10:07:41 over the tough course in Madison and the surrounding area.  She was off the bike in 2nd after the 2nd fastest bike split of the day (5:27:07) and hung on with a gutsy marathon (3:33:24) despite limited running miles leading up to the race, a result of mid-season injuries.  Gina Ferguson ran away with the women's title in 9:37:03, with Hillary Biscay in 2nd in 10:01:30.
