Club la Santa training camp, Lanzarote Feb 29-March 8 2020

It's that time of year when we are all in full swing with training and races and the thought of a warm-weather early spring training camp is far from our minds BUT Club la Santa is so darned popular as a winter training destination that we absolutely have to book our places there now for a late Feb/early March training camp in 2020.

This is the fourth year that Windrush will be going to Club la Santa for that pre-season training boost when the weather is usually pretty dire in the UK. CLS has professional standard training facilities, including three olympic pools, running track and every kind of class and sporting activity you could imagine. Lanzarote is an excellent place for cycling and running, scenic, quiet roads, not too hot and nearly alway sunny. As those who have been on previous camps can vouch, it is an excellent week's training and a fun holiday. It will be self-coached (ie no formal coaching from WR) but there will be experienced triathletes on the camp who will offer tips and help with any problems, and there are CLS coached training sessions you can sign up for if you want to.

The camp is open to all standards, but suits people with some experience rather than absolute beginners (ie happy to do lengths in Olympic pool, used to riding in a group). The week is run informally and while there will be a main daily Windrush activity (usually focussed on a cycle ride to somewhere in the island), you can organise your time as you want; some people join CLS sessions all day and rejoin the group in the evening.

In order to secure our self catering apartments, those interested need to sign up and pay a £100 deposit in the next two weeks. The cost of the accommodation (which includes access to nearly all the sporting facilities at CLS) will be £389.20 per head based on 4no two-bed apartments, with two sharing each room and one person on the roll-out bed in the living room (five people per apt). The dates secured are Saturday Feb 29 to Sunday March 8 (eight nights). We will have two lanes booked in a pool for morning and/or evening swim sessions for most of those days.

In previous years most people have taken their bikes with them on the plane but due to the fact that the airlines keep jacking up the cost of carrying bike boxes, it is now the same price (and much less hassle) to rent them from CLS or one of the local bike shops.

You will be responsible for booking your own flights and I would encourage everyone to come out on the Easyjet early morning Saturday flight from Gatwick and return on the afternoon flight on the Sunday. This means we can book a CLS transfer bus each way at much lower cost than taking taxis.

Please register your interest below and then PM me to obtain payment details for the deposit. There are twenty places available on a first come, first serve basis.

Perfect, thanks Charles!

Jake, Lucy and Hector are first on the waiting list so let me find out if they still want to go or not.

I’m in if there is space still?

Hector and Lucy decided not to go so there are two places available on the Lanza tri camp. Jake, I think you want to take one of the spots? That would leave one free place if there are any other Windrushers interested.

Hi Charles, 

Very keen to put my down for this, just wondering when the full amount (£389.20), would need to be paid by?

Thanks.

Yes please, Charles. Thank you!

Should I PM you on whatsapp to get the bank details?

Yes OK Anna. I'll need you to transfer the £100 deposit to me to secure your place. You and Jake are now taking the spare spots. Please PM or Whats App me for bank details.

Joe, sorry, I did miss your message. The £100 deposit has to be paid now to secure your place. The balance is due two months before we go ie end of Dec 2019. PM me or use Whats App to get the account details to do the transfer.

Hello everyone, 

I'm afraid I need to withdraw from the training camp next year.  Please do let me know if anyone would like to take my place.

Thanks!

Jen

If no Windrushers want to take Jen's place at the Lanza training camp Feb/March 2020, I will ask around triathletes outside the club. Any WR takers?

Hi - Is it still available? I am interested! I will message you.

Okay, pop me on the waiting list, and just keep me updated! Thanks! Hillary
