Spring Triathlon Camp 2017

ByStuart

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

    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…

  • New Bikebox

    ByStuart

    Shortly after xmas, I ordered a new bike box for our trip to Lanzarote. Previously, I’d used a Trico Iron Case, which had served its purpose well, but I wasn’t confident that it’s packing method wouldn’t damage my new Felt Z3. Basically, in the Trico, the wheels lie on top of the frame, separated by…
