Spring Triathlon Camp 2017

Another training camp is over. We had a fantastic two weeks at Club la Santa. The first week was the Spring Triathlon camp with Joe Beer and Dan Bullock, and the second was intended to be a bit of a holiday, but ended up being a training week as well, albeit with a sight-seeing trip to Timanfaya National Park.

Totals for the Camp:

Cycling: 22 hrs 30 mins 418km
Running: 6 hrs 11 mins 49.8km
Swimming: 5 hrs 05 mins 5500m

    On Sunday, I took part in the MPH Westhill Triathlon. This was my first triathlon for a couple of years – in fact, I was starting to wonder if I could still call myself a triathlete! I’d opted for the short distance (400 m swim/16 km bike/3.2 km run) instead of the sprint distance which…

    I’m just back from a week at Club la Santa in Lanzarote. This is my 6th or 7th stay here, and it’s one of my favourite places to train on this planet. The plan was for some end-of-session warm-weather training and to spectate at the Ironman 70.3 event. Over the time of our stay, I managed 5 bike rides and…
