Yet Another Training Camp

Join Steve Lumley (TheTraithlonCoach) for a week or two of training in the wonderful setting of Club Pollentia - located midway between Alcudia and Puerto Pollensa in North Majorca. The hotel is a haven for sports people, particularly cyclists and triathletes, in the early season.

It is a custom built sports facility offering both excellent accommodation, and food, for hard-working athletes. Sessions will be coached by Steve and rides will be escorted. We will also have a support vehicle for spares, food and water and there are excellent opportunities for open-water swimming. More Details

Wellington Ignores The Ironman Rulebook (reuters Via Yahoo! Uk & Ireland Sport)

Chrissie Wellington remains faintly bemused by the adulation she has received since she rewrote the triathlon rulebook by winning the Hawaii Ironman at the first attempt less than a year after turning professional.

"I still don't really know that much about triathlon," the 30-year-old Briton told Reuters in an interview, adding that she had yet to see any television highlights of the October race.

"I love the sport but I don't know much about its history and three years ago I knew virtually nothing about Ironman or Hawaii."

Hawaii knew little about her either but sat up and took notice when she destroyed the field in one of the greatest displays in the 29-year history of the iconic event which combines a 3.8-km swim, a 180-km bike ride and a marathon. Visit the Site.
