Updates:

  • Please cheque your surname, initial and title below to check it matches what is on your passport.
  • Check the room allocations and let me know asap if there are any issues.
  • Check your bike hire size and let me know asap if there are any issues.
  • Bikes have been hired from Thur 21st Jan till Wed 27th Jan. This means the people hiring will not have a bike on the day of the return flight.
  • We have 3x50m swim lanes booked each day at 0900-1100 and 1700-1900.  On the day of arrival we have 3 lanes from 1700-1900.  On the day of departure we have 3 lanes booked 0900-1100.  That's alot of swim time!

This trip is open to ALL MTC members, whatever your triathlon experience or level of ability.  Every member is entitled to invite upto one additional none member on the trip. The great thing about Club La Santa is that as well as a 50m swimming pool, 400m running track, great cycling, running trails and the option of open water swimming there is a full race programme run every week including a triathlon, duathlon, aquathlon, 5k, 10k, half-marathon ....... the list goes on and entry is all included in the price.  There is also the option for none triathletes to attend as the price includes the La Santa Sports Pass that gives you access to all sports facilities at the complex (see the website for full details as there are alot).

Nearer the time we will be sending out a questionnaire to all attendees to see what they are looking to get out of the trip.  We will then put together a number of suggested schedules for different groups of athletes to best make use of the time. 2 MTC coaches will be going along with the group to provide coaching support and make sure everything goes to plan.

We have negotiated a deal on the accomomodation if we pay deposits before the 30th September.  YES THAT IS PRETTY SOON.  After this time the accomodation price will go up 10% so book early to avoid the extra cost.

  • £517 - based on 3 people sharing a Type A green apartment (£538)
  • £582 - based on 3 people sharing a Type A red apartment (£609.50)

Bikes

Can everyone attending the camp please email me (clubcoach@man-tri-club.org.uk) to let me know which option below you plan to take up as regards bikes.  This will affect the final balance you pay:

1. If you plan on bringing your own bike you will need to pay an additional £12 to Sports Tours International for the resort transfers and ~£45 to the airline. I will provide you with the airlines phone number but you will have to contact and pay the airline direct.

2. If you plan on hiring a high spec road bike (Cannondale SIX Carbon Ultegra SL Compact) then the cost is 18 Euros per day or 85 Euros for the week. I can book this with Sports Tours for you and you will be issued a voucher. This will be handed over once we arrive and you can pay for the hire then.

3. If you don't plan on taking your own bike or hiring in advance then the only option is to take your chance on free hire of a low spec road bike or hiring on a day to day basis (depending on availability) once we arrive.
