Volcano Tri Team – Captain Arizona and his Undepants Men
So 5 weeks today and we should all be in the sun of Lanzarote.
I can not wait, and my 2 boys are already starting to pack!
The draft programme for the camp is now finished, I say draft as there is always a chance that things will change just a little.
This year to cater for the slightly greater numbers and to accommodate the increasing numbers of athletes who are focusing on Long distance, the programme has been split so to allow you to choose whether you wish to follow the short distance programme or the long distance programme – or you may want to just dabble at both!

25 years of the Volcano Triathlon
I have been running the Volcano triathlon training camp for over 10 years. This year it is set to be bigger and better than ever. With only 1 or 2 more slots available before we hit 60 people and then we will have to start a reserve list. To cater for the larger numbers and the mixed abilities we will have more coaches helping and have a clear split in sessions between Sprint / Olympic distance athletes and long distance athletes, with some sessions crossing over to keep everything a little social!
This year will be a particularly big year as the Volcano Triathlon on the 2nd of May is celebrating its 25th year. To mark this occasion the mini triathlon that we hold a few days prior to the main event will be a celebration of 25 years of Volcano triathlon – so you need to dig something out from your past (or someone else’s) to use during this race – for me it maybe my pink speedo,s! and the nice scott helmet! Just not sure I still have them.
TriLiving has some strong relationships with some great companies that produce market leading, innovative and cool products. These companies are again putting up some fantastic deals for all people on the camp. These deal include big discounts on Snugg Wetsuits, Skinfit clothing, SIS sports drink, Ceepo bikes, Newton shoes, Triathlon Vision sports eye wear.
Ironman is pleased to announce its new licensing deal with Ceepo, a triathlon-focused bicycle company recognized for its innovative designs. The agreement establishes Ceepo as the “Official Bicycle Partner” via a multi-year global licensing deal, with new branded product available beginning January, 2009. Additional models, such as the Ironman “Viper” will be released late spring, with the Ironman “Katana” to follow in Summer.
Happy birthday Bob.
Bob is one of my original TriLiving athlete, a true inspiration! his achievements to date are just to many to list but 2009 did see him compete in his 1st ironman in a time of 12:04:18. Just awesome.
But now he has just informed me that he is officially an OAP and proud of it, he also told me that he is referred to as an MTB by one of his “lady friends” (Mature Toy Boy!) and this really does sum him up much better.
Here is to been 65 and a whole new age group – how exciting.
Congratulation Stuart.
It was a hard Day In Hawaii, but then it is always a hard day in Hawaii!! Hot, humid, windy and all the best Ironman athletes in the world ready to take on the challenge.
Stuart is one of the most dedicated, disciplined, motivated but understated athletes you will ever meet. He holds down a full time job with the daily telegraph in the city while managing to train successfully for Ironman competition. The training going into Hawaii has been hard, the weather has been bad, but Stuart just got on with what had to be done with no complaints. Stuart’s result in Hawaii is something most age group athletes only dream about. It is a fantastic achievement and well deserved. Well done and enjoy the REST of your time in Hawaii.

Individual attention is of paramount importance and you will truly benefit from the workshop day which will include one to one attention on the swim / bike and run, you will even get your own underwater video clip to take away with you. Avoid disappointment and book early.
