Frequently asked questions
Is this retreat suitable for me even if I am a professional or really experienced athlete?
Yes, we will tailor the program suited just for your individual needs.
Could I join even if I am not a triathlete, but runner, cyclist or swimmer?
Yes, you are more than welcome even if you do just one of these sports. This retreat is for very limited intimate group tailored that everyone will get out of it what you wish for.
What about if I am a beginner?
You should have some level of experience at least in one of these disciplines (swim/bike/run) If you are a totally inexperienced cyclist, Lanzarote isn’t the ideal place to learn basics. Perhaps another program in the future will be better suited to your needs. Do write us a message so we know.
Do I need to bring my own bike or can I rent one?
Ideally you should bring your own bike, a racing bike would be beneficial.. However we can arrange a rental bike for you locally too, if that ‚s your preference.
Which bike should I bring to the retreat camp?
Ideally racing bike, so we can have a look at your bike position, etc.., however avoid deep section wheels due to stronger wind on the island.
Am I going to receive the exact itinerary of the retreat camp?
Yes, there will be an itinerary sent in advance prior to the retreat camp, however after the 1st day, there is possibility for operational changes for the benefit of attendees.
Are meals provided, and can dietary restrictions be accommodated?
