Open Water Swimming at ZaharaThe all year round warm weather conditions in Andalucia, southern Spain, make this area a paradise for all triathlon enthusiasts who are looking to improve their swimming, cycling or running skills. Over the last 6 weeks Alistair has set up base in Montecorto to get in some intensive training prior to his big event.... Ironman Australia in December, this will be Alistair's first full Ironman event. The Sierra de Grazalema and surrounding area offers a challenging and beautiful training environment and is perfect for improving fitness, conditioning and endurance. Our location and expert local knowledge has enabled Alistair to train and ride with his own schedule of training.

From Montecorto Alistair has enjoyed the fantastic cycling routes and scenic running trails in the Grazalema Natural Park and Serrania de Ronda, with a freshwater swimming lake, near Zahara, on our doorstep his swim training has consisted of many open water sessions. There is the option of swimming indoors in a 25m heated pool should he want to as well. At the end of every week Alistair has enjoyed a relaxing massage, to soothe those aching muscles, in Montecorto.

Triathlon TrainingAll the cycling has been escorted by myself, leaving Alistair to concentrate on his performance and fitness rather than his navigational skills. The cycling routes have been specifically tailored to Alistair's needs in terms of distance, terrain and pace.

Alistair has now left Montecorto and will be traveling shortly to Australia to compete in his first Ironman. We wish him every success for the event, he certainly has prepared well for it.

Triathlon Training is available with the Andalucian Cycling Experience for all levels of Triathlete from Sprint to Olympic to Ironman for individuals, like Alistair, and clubs such as the BRAT Club from Birmingham.

We have a variety of accommodation available from self catering townhouse in Montecorto to luxury 4 star hotels in Ronda.

For further information please contact Ashley or Claire at the Andalucian Cycling Experience.
