I think 3mph was due to having spent the previous 2-3 hours cycling uphill into the wind, the ascent through Teguise up to the top of Haria is about 13 miles and nearly 600 meters.
Haven't got the legs for marathon distance yet but did half of the bike course last year and going back to do full in April.
envious of you guys but same as all of my old report cards, need to work harder to get there. Got the bug on the bike, just need to mtfu and link my swim and run to my very slow bike.
Unfortunately work have decided that I need to be somewhere else hot and hilly the day of Lanza IM so I will no longer be partaking... There goes the rest of my tri season to boot! Let me know when there is an IM Lanza 15 thread and I will be there...
I am staying in Costa Teguise and will be making my way to the start finish area on the day. Apparently the course doesn't come past my hotel door. I shall probably be wearing pirate colours
Just a quick one are they any Pirates with a spare room that I can rent in Lanzarote to Support all the pirates out there all of the accommodations that I have Been looking at Are all full Can anyone help.
SA are you doing Lanza then? Haven't read the thread, just popped on cos I have realised that for our first sunshine holiday for 13 years I have booked Lanza in IM week quite accidentally, it coincides with Mr AJH birthday.

Seriously? 3mph, Barlos? That sounds horrendous!
It *is* horrendous, make no mistake. It's an absolutely outstanding day but it's not easy!

plus he was concentrating on unwrapping his muffin rather than cycling

By coincidence I shall be in Lanza for the IM, pure accident I realised that it was on at the dates I was looking for a holipop.
Good stuff - will we be seeing you at any point round the course?
Excellent stuff Nicko, which bit of the island are you staying at?

SA
Thanks SA Speak to you during the week.
Accom sorted, hopefully Hokori can book the same place, so we may well be able to help BM out
Nice Q thanks
Oh dear
just started the list writing
Just sorted travel insurance, please make sure yours covers triathlon
trying to order a e111 card now
who did you use for insurance Q ? i used Dogtag last year .. need to get that sorted i guess .
doftag wanted a shed load when I mentioned Jordy
went with the same people who did our insurance for IM Florida
Holiday safe 0845 658 0570
not the cheapest but triathlon is covered as standard
I'm a little jealous - the bike course is brilliant
Get the miles in then the wind / hills don't seem nearly so bad
The dreams started last night
A little earlier than usual
Got to the start line and had forgotten how to swim
That's actually the reality for me SA!
SA are you doing Lanza then? Haven't read the thread, just popped on cos I have realised that for our first sunshine holiday for 13 years I have booked Lanza in IM week quite accidentally, it coincides with Mr AJH birthday.
Yep, doing Lanza.
Which bit of Lanza are you staying in?
The race starts and finishes in Puerto Del Carmen which is where we are staying
