Join Team WILD for these events planned for 2012:
Training Camps in 2012
Training Camps include diabetes education, sports skills clinics, workouts with your campmates and coaches, and a lot of teamy goodness. Training Camp is an intense time to learn about diabetes and exercise and to share your experiences with other athletic people with diabetes! Please note: You do NOT have to consider yourself an athlete to come to one of Team WILD’s camps!!! Our program is designed to help you BECOME an athlete! We accommodate all athletic abilities! Be sure to leave a comment if you have a question for us about coming to Camp!
- Cycling Camp — Boulder, CO June 20-24
- Running Camp — Boulder, CO June 20-24
- Triathlon Camp — Boulder, CO June 20-24
Race Camps in 2012
Team WILD Race Camps are for athletes who are currently in a WILD program or who have been members of WILD in previous seasons. If you’ve signed up for a Race Camp, you’ll have a chance to go over your race plan a few weeks in advance with a coach and a diabetes educator. You’ll fly in early for the race, and attend diabetes education lectures while you get to know other members of the team. Sessions will review key diabetes management and athletic skills. This is your chance to learn and share with other athletes with diabetes! The weekend culminates in your race where you’ll do your best while cheering on your teammates.

So I got the newsletter on when the training camps are but do you know when you will have the information on the cost and registration (specifically the triathlon/running camp)?
Melissa, YES!!! We are about to put up information pages about all the camp details and training plan details too! Thanks for asking. The newsletter is scheduled to come out November 21! Keep your WILD eyes open!!! ~Mari
Will there be more information being sent in the newsletter as far as how much the camps cost and how to sign up?
Hi Mari,
I am recently diagnosed with LADA being treated at T1 (one month ago – I’m in my late 40′s, very active) and was an avid biker and have completed a few triathlons pre D. Now I am really just trying to get my medications figured out, but still want to get back into biking. Your group sounds like a great bunch of ladies and I will be watching to see what may be in my area for the Tour de Cure too. I think there are 2 being planned up here in NY next year. Thanks for bringing your energy and zest for life to this group. It’s so nice to see “You CAN” instead of “You can’t” for a newby like me.
Hi! Pam, we have one cycling training camp in 2012… it will be in San Diego. We will be having 2 cycling race/ride camps… one in Minnesota in early June, one in Colorado in mid August. I’m sorry we won’t be having any camps on the east coast this year… but I sure bet we will in 2013!!! Pam, I’m super glad you asked and I sure hope we stay connected!!!! Do you ride in a Tour de Cure??? If so, which one?
Are you planning on having any cycling camps closer to the east coast in 2012 (I am in upstate NY)? Thank you
When I rode the Tour de Cure in MT I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Mari and I was blown away by her energy and enthusiasm. She invited me to San Diego to train and ride in San Diego with her. I would like the opportunity to train with the Team Wild group and learn as much as I can and ride the Tour in San Diego. I don’t know that we can afford for me to come down, train, and ride; but I would like to know more please.
