i’m a 14 year old girl, i m in the middle of intense triathlon training (about 4 hours a day) I’m going away on scout camp for 2 weeks, how can I train as the triathlon is the week after and it is a really important one? is there any workouts I can do?

You can go running around the camp area. If the camp has a lake ask the counselor’s if you could swim in the early morning before activities. If you can bring your bike, you can bike around. This may not be an intense 4 hours a day, but it will keep you from falling behind in your training. If you have to choose between running, biking, or swimming at camp, I would say definitely do the running if anything else. Also, may sure your stretching at great lengths before and after your exercise because it will help you towards your race. The last thing you want to do one week before a race is pull a muscle. Also doing the bicycle exercise will help with your biking. Hope this helps.
Best of luck with your race.
I imagine that running and swimming won’t be that difficult at camp, so that leaves biking. One thing you can do to keep you cycling up is to lie on your back and pedal in the air. Yes, it’s boring, but it will at least keep your biking muscles used to the motion and effort.
