Have read lots of really positive feedback about this event, and wanting to avoid going long in 2015, quite tempted... would make a good extended weekend for me and 'er indoors too...
lets be honest.... its all prep for an Ironman on my 100th birthday
I will be on Sherpa duties as Lanza is 2 weeks later, so a nice taper in the sun for me. we went this year and watched it, I love the area, brilliant event. I am doing the full this year also
Ah.... looks like I won't be doing this.... its less than a week before GCSEs start, and don't want to do the event without my better half... and we can't both leave youngest to revise, as it won't happen!
Looks like its back to plan B... the new UK Staffs 70.3 and supporting at Austria.

Gladys, this year we went so I could recce the hill for the full I'm doing in sept. We went for 70.3 weekend and went Thursday-Monday. We are doing the same again for next year
the hill is fine, gradual climb from sea level to top. Think it averages about 5-7% for the main climb. After that, it's downhill time for which I am crap.
Its a really nice route, some amazing views from up top

shame! I had the same thing this year as eldest one has just done GCSE's, so next year's going to be a more fun
I'm in anyone else ?
Me.
I'll be there, tapering not racing. Mrs BP will be racing it. fantastic event.
Seriously considering this one, won't be doing a full next year but want a bit of a pirate road trip and a reason to get back swimming and running.
For those already committed, when are you flying out? Thu? Friday? Back Monday presumably?

Gladys - still to grovel and get time off work, but probably thurs - monday.
BP - what's the hill like then ?

Will be my warm up for Roth, if I get in. 2 weeks until entry opens (and closes) so hopefully Majorca will still have spots then
Woohoo
I believe that's the fourth discipline.
Least you don't have to travel far for the hills!! And there's only one in the race anyway
