Emma Tucker's itinerary for this trip
Day 1
Arrive, move, and get set
Day one is about easing in, getting organised, and setting the tone for the weekend. After arriving and settling in, the group will kick things off with a relaxed running technique session focused on movement, efficiency, and confidence. Later, the day splits into optional pathways. You can choose individual running gait analysis or a bike setup and system check to make sure everything is dialled ahead of Saturday’s ride. The day finishes with a group dinner to connect, unwind, and get ready for the weekend.
Day 2
Endurance, learning, and recovery
Saturday is the main endurance day, centred around riding key sections of the Ironman course. The group will start together before splitting into shorter or longer ride options depending on experience and goals. After a relaxed lunch, there will be a casual Q and A covering training, racing, confidence, and mindset. The afternoon stays flexible with options including more analysis work, downtime, or an optional recovery session. You finish the day tired in a good way, with more clarity and confidence than you started with.
Day 3
Run, swim, and connect
Sunday begins with a looped long run designed so everyone can move at their own pace and regroup easily. A social breakfast follows for those who want to join. The afternoon focuses on open water swimming and technique in local conditions similar to race day. The final split session offers either individual stroke analysis or low key social recovery with stretching, coastal downtime, and time to connect. A balanced day that builds skills without draining you.
Day 4
Skills, strength, and wrap up
The final morning focuses on technical bike handling skills including cornering, gear selection, and confidence building. A casual breakfast follows before wrapping up. The camp finishes with an introductory strength and conditioning session designed to give you practical tools you can take home and use straight away. Departures take place late morning to early afternoon.

Fun Fact
I am bike obsessed. I have a Trek Speed Concept named Ken and a Trek Madone named Barbie, and I have started dabbling in crit racing.
Short Bio
Emma is not a professional coach. She is someone who completely transformed her life through endurance sport. A few years ago she weighed close to 148kg, and today she is an Ironman World Championship qualifier. She has been in triathlon for just over two years, going from absolute beginner to racing at the highest level, and she knows exactly what it feels like to start from zero. This camp exists because Emma remembers how intimidating training environments can feel when you are new. The goal is to create a welcoming space where beginners can feel comfortable, and more experienced athletes can still challenge themselves. Emma is hosting alongside her coach, Tim Bliss. Tim holds a Masters degree in Applied Sport Science is a sports scientist and accredited triathlon, run, and strength and conditioning coach. Coach Bliss started competing in triathlons in 2015 as a very amateur triathlete to now having achieved a number of significant milestones including winning the National Sprint Distance AG Champion, Top 10 finishes at World Championships and others. He brings deep technical expertise with a supportive, approachable coaching style, so athletes at every level leave with more clarity and confidence.
Why I got into triathlon?
My weight loss journey completely changed my relationship with movement and my belief in what I am capable of. Triathlon gave me structure, confidence, and purpose at a time when I needed it most. I went from being someone who could not imagine running a kilometre to racing Ironman and qualifying for the World Championships. Along the way, I realised how powerful community and the right environment can be, especially for people starting out. That is what inspired me to create experiences like this.
Why I am hosting?
Port Macquarie holds a special place for me. I know what it is like to be a first timer at both the 70.3 and the full Ironman distance, and how overwhelming the unknowns can feel. Getting familiar with the course, especially climbs like Matthew Flinders Drive, made a huge difference to my confidence on race day. This camp is a chance to take the stress out of that process, whether you are racing here or not. It is about learning the course, building confidence, and spending time with people on a similar journey. I genuinely love this part of the coast and I am excited to share it in a way that feels fun, supportive, and welcoming for everyone.
