Triathlete & Coach

I just returned from my second Training Camp with LB Squad in beautiful Alentejo. First time in spring 2025 as preparation for a 70.3 event and now as the final prep for the full Ironman Cascais 2025. 

 

The Camp is very profound and special on different levels:

 

LB Squad Coach Lino Barruncho is a unique high performance coach with tons of professional and personal experience. Being an athlete himself he coaches from a hollistic point of view on the highest performance level for amateur athletes. He knows what it takes, he knows what it feels like; he knows whats needed to succeed with your goals.

 

Maria is the heart and soul of the team. Being a former triathlete herself, her eye for details show in the big overall organization as well as in the small details. I felt very well taking care of before during and after the Camp.

 

Anaïs, the team photographer and videographer is an artist. As a former triathlete and World champion she has the knowledge, the eye for the sport and the artistic craft of capturing and documenting stunning pictures and videos that make you look like a pro.

 

Marta the mindset coach provides profound coaching tools that help during training, performance and competition as well as the every day routines and struggkes as a triathlete with training, job, family and responsibilties as well as overconing obstacles and setbacks.

 

Language barrier was never an issue, the team’s english level is high and communication easy and transparent.

 

Spending time at Herdade de Cortesia with fellow athletes under Linos guidance is a fantastic way to prepare body, mind and soul for achieving big goals. Having the calm, beautiful space in amazing nature with enough privacy to dive deep into training details and the luxury of having the time to talk through details, experiences, to ask questions; exchange stories and eliminate doubts is priceless. 

 

Great food and top hospitality in a location that is made for high performance training without missing the lush and luxurious setting in pure nature is unbeatable.

 

I am grateful for the opportunities I had to train this year and looking forward to return for the next camps.
