Ironman Lanzarote 2013 (3rd weekend in May?)

Bouncing Barlist · April 2012

Porto Del Carmen (race start and fininh), depending on numbers maybe organise outselves between some villas/hotel?

FerrousFerret · April 2012

The book of face says 2012 sold out by end of July, but as Barlos says it gets quicker year on year.

Orca, I'm thinking Puerto del Carmen - there seems to be a very wide range of accomodation

M...eldy · April 2012

Barlos, those apartments where Rosey stayed looked quite good? Accomm wont be a problem I dont think

My Lanza sock is filling up nicely

ChallengeGoGoGas · April 2012

These look quite good

Lee the Pea · April 2012

I'm off to Puerto del Carmen on Monday for a week

I got an apartment via Owner's Direct. I'll report back on what it is like, only 200 quid for a week.

*re-lurks*

Gyraffe · April 2012

Lee - how big is the apartment (ie how many could comfortably share)? I think there will be plenty of accommodation but it could almost be worth booking that before entries open to get the best choice and deals.

Having said that, I am rather enjoying my year off and am sorely tempted to postpone my glorious return to triathlon for another year so I can get various injuries sorted out and do some training before I get there.....

seren nos · April 2012

i am returning your turbo next month when i return to england Waff so no excuses triathlon training is better to stay injury free ....honest

Orca · April 2012

I'm going next year but as a supporter only. I'm taking a year off the long stuff next year. Unless I end up moving to Arizona with work which is a possibility at the moment. Would be great if there was a gang of us all in the same apartments.

Having just had a sneaky peek at IM Melbourne 2013, and learned that it sold out in just 4 minutes, how fast do you reckon you'll need to be on the trigger to enter this one?
Not saying that I'm going.... or even that i want to go . But I believe that Lanza's a nice place for a family holiday.

Are you going to discuss with your family????

I can think of better places for a family holiday. Mind you, somehow you have convinced me to have 2 'holidays' in Tenby this year

M...eldy · April 2012

Oooh good a domestic

What was Teny like? Mrs Cat5 has booked us in to Kiln Park for a week in the summer.

Iron Tractor Boy · April 2012

Snap, I also have trip to Nottingham in July.

Sorry dear. I can only assume that cyber-gypsies hijacked my log-in credentials.

I have the same problem with those people.

They keep ordering shiney new stuff and it just keeps arriving at my address, getting me into trouble. I don't know how they know my size, and how they figure what I think is essential, but they are never wrong.

Rafiki · April 2012

That's why you get things delivered to the office!! Then you can sneak it home when no-one's looking

ChallengeGoGoGas · April 2012

I work from home.... I'm screwed on that approach Raf, and this morning a man delivered a box from wiggle before I'd even got downstairs to try and hide it - epic fail!

M...eldy · April 2012

What you need is a PO Box number

Not been yet Cat, will let you know. I think we are on a campsite outside town in June for Long Course Weekend. Then in Sept for IMW a cottage as Kiln Park was full.

No full domestic yet........WE ARE NOT GOING TO LANZA

OrangeCannon fat and unfit · April 2012

PdC is brilliant

There are zo many Germans running up and down the strip in full tri gear in April its unreal
Rolling out in normal run gear is fun - the contrast between lobster like sausage eating fat Germans/ Burger eating fat English and the runners is great . Its such a clash of opposites

And i am sure we drink more than they do - we save it up all week then party good and proper

Kanga M · April 2012

Hmmm ... May you say ...

DTB Ultra Cake Pimp · April 2012

Well clearly I was never thinking about doing this at all, but looks like the dates will be a no workwise, phew. I mean, what a shame

May be Henley or another year off for me!

[Deleted User] · April 2012

hope to be a newbie pirate soon and lanza 2013 sounds a good starting point, i did it on 2004 it was ace,

france 2005 and nothing since

lanzarote could be a good opener for me

Pain tears and more pain, then i woke up and thought its race morning ive not started yet what the hell have i got myself into,

then loved every painful second of it (lanza 04)

2013 bring it on

What's the problem, you've got a holiday in Nottingham this year as well haven't you

PSC · April 2012

Jaffa, are you thinking of doing this?

OrangeCannon fat and unfit · April 2012

Welcome Manken..

As the honarry advance party/ reconnasence patrol, Lanza 2012 is rapidly becoming a bit of a problem......

Swim is quicker, but I am not swimming enough

Biking is really solid this year, and I have a new bike . looking forward to a windy day to sort the bikers from the triathletes

Run is a disaster. Knee has blown apart. I may be able to walk/shuffle to get the finnisher T shirt.....

So, 2013.......... I will have unfinnished business I feel.

Iron Rose · April 2012

any excuse OC to go again ?

This year's family hols consist of Tenby (LCW), Nottingham (Outlaw), Abersoch (Training week) and Tenby (IMW). I must admit, it doesn't exactly shout "fun & relaxation" does it?

M..o.use · April 2012

Tenby is lovely. One of my favourite holidays ever was there. There's loads for a family to do while you're ironing. I can write you a list if you want?

Meantime - thread boing in case there might possibly be someone out there thinking about this race....

M...eldy · April 2012

<<bounce>>

M..o.use · April 2012

No, I said boing, not bounce.

Howdy, Stranger!
