Yes of course I booked a holiday in Lanza not realising the race was on, Pfffft. Apparently it was the hottest day of the year so far. Everyone did good It was really nice to meet up with you all, pity we didn't get to see Slaggi or Pudge later on, hopefully at the Vit! Oh yeah! Bassy, you can run but you can't hide. No matter where you race we will find you PS. You weren't close to winning, I was kidding
Q!! We had exactly the same thoughts at mile 7 or so ! It was like turning into a wind tunnel !! And the Mirador restaurant, my heart fell when I realised it wasn't the top of the Mirador at all !!
Just caught up on all the reports. Huge congrats Pudge, top bombing there! Commiserations Slag, what a mare re the signs, that was a really bad move by the organisers. BM pretending to be your son to get news had me in stitches!!! Hahaha
Great read SA. Strong, confident racing - fantastic. Congrats mate. Great blog too. Great racing, sherpering and supporting from all by the sounds of it. Whoop whoop.
Pudge, where did you stay?? And was it good/suitable for the family? Just for future information...
Stayed at a place called Los Jameos Playa, BP. It's only about 2k out of Puerto del Carmen, so far enough away to be relatively quiet, but close enough to be near to the action when needed (the run route passes the hotel on each lap). Facilities were brilliant; food, drink, service etc all excellent - we'll stay there again when I go back to do it again (possibly looking like next year, despite me originally gelling the wife I wasn't doing one next year).
We have a 9 year old and an 8 year old, and they loved the place....so much so that they were having too much fun to come and watch me finish!
Good racing all and well done SA loved the report especially the girly scream bit! I may have been known to do the same on the odd occasion OW. I don't think Lanza will ever be on my to do list, I think you're all completely binkers with that one.

Well done Q and a great report.
In truth you saved your own race. And you looked OK too. It was good to see you again, although I never found u in any bars. I suspect u were hiding!

Q and Slag excellent reports lads.
Well done and commiserations in equal messure.
Slag do you think third time lucky?
great report and well done SA.
i bloody hope so Cake . Looks like i may even get a free entry for next years because of the bike course fiasco
Result! Press them some more and they might even pay for your flights and accommodation……for you and all of the pirates that you raced with this year
I'll see what i can do Pudge
I have an important question. What colour were the finisher T shirts this year?
black with red bits down the side
Black. Quite smart actually.
Ooh they sound nice!
Bit late..but great report SA...really pleased for you
