This is a great idea OC, think it's unlikely for me next year bearing in mind holidays from work but would love it if I could somehow juggle dates...........will the camp include Brioche as a nutritional staple?
gonna book my accomodation at the arena dorada next
So I am out for a week on an organised camp (http://www.everydaytraining.org.uk/) but was staying an extra week as the missus is coming out for a less intense / slower week.
Planning on 6 days training - repeating the training camp but with less bike distance / dropping the races, so doing a morning 30-40 min swim, 3-5 hr bike, 30 min afternoon run on each day. thats 4-6 hours a day for 6 days
Would be nice to get a small group together, but if its just us thats cool
If this is still on the cards im interested - just need to check work dates etc im on a plan taking me up for outlaw half so not going to be full distances and not that quick but game to give it a go and happy to ride alone as ling as i can find my way back to the beer!
I had a quick look at the apartment on line last week - its pretty full for that week, so if you wish to go, I'd book soon. Unfortunately, I've got loads of that work stuff booked for March, so can't take the time off!!
I was just hoping.- Several people drove to IM Nice in 2008 and if anyone has a roadtrip (ok, and ferry trip) planned I'd love to cadge some space on it ...
We're planning an extended stay in the canaries this summer, and freighting our stuff over is going to be expensive... On the plus side, I should be around to cheer at Lanza
Turns out the camp I am on the week before is now in a different hotel, but no problem.
Shuffle B's longest ride so far this year is 2.5- 3 hrs... so she is gonna try to ride 3hrs a day over the 6 days I suspect she will actua;ly do 2 / 4 / 3 / rest / 3 / 4 or something
Foggy - we will probably all ride out together then split - the missus will then head for home and we can ride on.
I am looking for a steady week backing up a big week, so am more than happy to ride at your pace.
swimming is lovely - see was like a pond yesterday as the sun cam out and we all did a lap of the IM course..... I hope you are jealous
day 2 done - 80k bike yesterday, 115k today, with shuffles doing 2 hrs then 2.5 today - the first 45mins being climbing up out of PdC to the middle of the island

Just hope I made a good impression

Is this still happening?
I'm out there on the 6th March if anyone else is?
Hi OC, is this training camp still planned - as I would like to put it in the diary in work and book some flights and accommodation if possible.
I like to be organised you see!
I'll be in Tenerife that week, I'll wave from my balcony !!!
Is the Lanza training week still on? or off? or not sure?
Hey Foggy
I am still on for this
I just booked my flights today
gonna book my accomodation at the arena dorada next

BB - sorry for the delay - i've been a bit broken so absent from the forum
Probably up for this but cant confirm for a couple of weeks.
Im all booked up fo rthis.
Will be in Lanza from 15th to 22nd March.
Would be good to have some more along for some late winter early spring training.

Yes this is going ahead. Ive booked my flights and accommodation.

OC outlined plan on this thread as below, but obviously up to individuals how much or how little you do.
Dates - Sat 15nd March -Sat 22th March 6 days of training - (Sunday - Friday)
Daily program -
The last day can be the full IM bike course, but options are available for those building up to IM.
Apartment complex is the 'Arena Dorada'. Its in Puerto del Carmen, about 50 m from the beachfront
just booked this myself Theres 10 rooms available at booking.com, (and I am sure thats not all their availablity). Its pretty low season.
i am looking forward to ice cream from the kiosk on the beach front, and riding the elephant
Random Question:...
Is anyone planning to go to this by road/ferry who might have extra space for bikes/boxes in exchange for a healthy contribution to petrol money?
Or indeed to the IM?
WOW IP
Road and ferry trip to Lanza
There are ferries between most of the other canary islands, but you still have to fly into one of them.
There is a weekly ferry to mainland Spain but this takes 26 hours
I was just hoping.- Several people drove to IM Nice in 2008 and if anyone has a roadtrip (ok, and ferry trip) planned I'd love to cadge some space on it ...

I may well be in Lanza over those dates - thinking about squeezing a long weekend in there....
O,C
Sorry for the quietness, but just discovered we are moving house in March so will have to give this a miss.
Hope all who is going have a great training week!
Hi all,
This interests me... is this still going ahead?
Currently training up for IM Wales in September and this trip is something I'm keen on..
Yes, Im going and have booked and OC is booked up as well. Arrangements are outlined in this thread.
so me, shuffleB and Foggy
Turns out the camp I am on the week before is now in a different hotel, but no problem.

Will be fun
Sounds good. Hopefully swim most/every morning, not too bothered about doing much running, maybe a little off the back of rides.
Looking to get some good steady miles on the bike, not sure how tired I will get biking every day, but I guess I will find out in due course.
Im off, see you there.

Easy runs done this evening
I'm pooped!
Foggy seems to be enjoying himself.
Are we supposed to be enjoying it?
No you're bloody not, now get out there and do some more biking!
