2013 JBST Tri-Camp

ByStuart

At the end of January, I returned to Club la Santa in Lanzarote for the JBST Triathlon Camp, hosted by Joe Beer and Dan Bullock of SwimForTri. The main aim for this camp was to get in some start-of-season training, and to get some swim analysis from Dan.

Unfortunately, I arrived at the camp with a stinking cold, which meant that swimming was out of the question (difficult to stop mid-length to cough and clear your nose!). After missing the first day’s training in an attempt to recover a bit, I managed to get in 5 bike rides for a total of about 9 hours training – a bit less than I’d hoped, but not bad for February.

    The Run Garioch 10k, held in Inverurie, was my first race of the year. I’ve run this a couple of times in the past, and it’s usually been a fine spring day. This year, however, the temperature was hovering around 0.5 Deg C, with a -7 Deg wind chill. There was still quite a bit…
