Womens only Triathlon Camp with Tanja Slater & Team

EARLY BOOKING DISCOUNT ON CLUB LA SANTA APARTMENTS FOR THIS CAMP IF BOOKED BEFORE 31st JULY 2009

Owing to the growing popularity of triathlon, Club La Santa will be running its second Women’s Only Triathlon Camp.

The camp offers you a great opportunity to kick start your winter training in preparation for the 2010 race season or even introduce you to the sport of triathlon in a warm climate and magnificent surroundings.

This may even lead you to come back to Lanzarote to race the Volcano Olympic Distance Triathlon or maybe even the Lanzarote Ironman in May 2010. During the week you will be coached in all disciplines, meet new people, gain experience and maybe even compete in your first mini triathlon.

The camp caters for all abilities, from novice to elite. Suitable for sprint and olympic distance athletes looking to build their base training, learn more about the sport and gain experience for triathlon races.

The maximum number of participants will be limited to 36 places to enable more individual attention in all four disciplines (swim, bike, run & transition).

The week will start with a welcome meeting and end with a dinner in the restaurant “La Casa”. companions are welcome to join us for the dinner by paying 24 € for the 3 course meal and a ½ bottle of wine. We are hoping to welcome a variety of nationalities, much like other training camps that are held at Club La Santa, however the main language will be English.

The Training

The training will take place in many parts of the fantastic island of Lanzarote.

Swims will take place in the 50m Olympic pool and the Club La Santa lagoon (a closed off area of sea).

The runs will be both on and off road around the complex as well as on the Club La Santa athletics track.

The bike rides will take you to the most beautiful parts of the island on newly tarmacked surfaces. Additional activities can be seen in the provisional programme.

Important Information

Remember to bring your swim equipment and wet suit, as we will also be doing an open water swim in the lagoon. Bring your own bike, bike shoes and helmet if possible, if not you can rent bikes for the week (subject to availability at an extra cost) but remember to bring pedals and a helmet. It is a law in Spain – No helmet – No ride.

Please note that if you want to rent a Club La Santa bike rather than taking your own, you will have to arrange this separately with CLub La Santa UK prior to departure. The price for a bike is around 85 € per week or 18 € a day. It is advisable to book these bikes at time of booking and will be subject to availabilty
