Ok great. I looked at flights too last night. 80€ approx but with a bag and bike €236. That's cheaper than shipmytribike and with a flight incl. I'm not sure the family will join me yet, will see over the weekend. However I want to book ahead of the rush

Hey all, not racing Barca but love to join up for training spins etc. There was a whatsapp group knocking around last year that was really handy so if anyone wants to be added to it let me know.

I'm in. 0868162426. I believe that the race is about 30-40 minutes outside Barcelona in a smaller town. I know a guy who did it this yeah and he stayed there and it's right at transition. I'll try and find out more if you'd like?

Ship my tri bike 100%
You need to book your accommodation asap -- you may already be too late!!!!!! Book as close as possible to bike transition area. I booked Miami apts or some name like that.. Perfect location within walking distance of bike transition (essential (1) for bike check-in; (2) for transition check morning of IM and (3) for collection of bike and slow painful walk home after IM). You do not notice the 3k walk to swim start on morning of IM as everyone else is doing the same.

Hi guys up for the training together and sharing of tips/sessions.On Shipping bike use Ship my Tri bike used them for Roth this year no problems and got them to hold onto bike for a week so we could go around Europe no charge,anyway taking my bike apart and putting it back together on the other side is no way to prepare for a race especially if your tt bike is as finicky as mine just not worth the hassle I've done both your family will thank you

Hi all - I like your idea of training together. I'm not doing IM, but as a coach, I'm keen to see how you guys can work together next year to help each other on training spins, advice, travel, etc. To make it easier to coordinate, I'm sure you have WhatsApp or the Forum, but in case more people are interested in joining, I've updated the IM page on the website with a list of potential races and people who expressed an interest. It might make it easier for everyone to understand who's doing what and what timelines you're working to. If the club can help with organising regular or periodic training sessions/weekends, let us know and the coaches can work on something. I've seen it work well in other clubs, so keen for us to support our IM athletes. www.belparktri.ie/ironman-rollcall/

Tamara Maxantova who has recently joined Belpark is also signed up for Ironman Barcelona 2016. Tamara qualified & raced for Ironman Kona in 2014, and is now coming back from injury. Her PB time is a very speedy sub-10 hrs. It is great to welcome someone with Tami's experience & talent to the club.
