FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

The Mediterranean Balearic Island of Ibiza may seem an unlikely setting for Europe’s newest Active Sports Holiday company to base their operations, perhaps being better known in recent years for the annual summer invasion of UK Super-Clubs and rowdy clubbers, than for triathlete training, however that is all set to change in 2006 according to Kev Grant, a Director of Tribiza, a new Sports & Active Holiday company, focusing on Triathlon & Multi-Sports Training Camps on the Island  …website: www.tribiza.com 

The Mediterranean Balearic Island of Ibiza may seem an unlikely setting for Europe’s newest Active Sports Holiday company to base their operations, perhaps being better known in recent years for the annual summer invasion of UK Super-Clubs and rowdy clubbers, than for triathlete training , however that is all set to change in 2006 according to Kev Grant, a Director of Tribiza, a new Sports & Active Holiday company, focusing on Triathlon & Multi-Sports Training Camps on the Island  …website: www.tribiza.com 

In the last few years the Island has enjoyed a cultural & spiritual revival, once again becoming the playground paradise of choice for the rich & famous, with the “Club-Reps” and beer-boys having largely moved on somewhere new and cheaper, and the success of various Retreats and Yoga centres across the island, it is now an ideal choice of location for serious sports enthusiasts and athletes all year round.

 “We can cater for fully supported Triathlon Club Camps, right through to custom packages for groups as few as four, and anywhere in between.” says Kev, a Personal Trainer originally from London.

“Our strength is the flexible and fully bespoke nature of our packages and organisation, combined with an extensive network of contacts across the Island giving us access to facilities ranging from budget apartments & accommodation through to the best luxury villas, and our affiliations with top U.K British Triathlon Association BTA Coaches, and local triathlon clubs and athletes who train here all the time. This allows us to offer top quality coaching expertise combined with the best local knowledge, to make an unbeatable package.”

He continues “We offer tri camps & training breaks suitable from beginner level for those looking to take on and complete their first duathlon or triathlon, all the way through to experienced intermediates looking to beat their Personal Best in their next Ironman or ITU Long Distance event. ...After all, the world famous ITU Long Distance Triathlon is held here every year, this year’s it’s on Oct 8^th, and where better to train or prepare for it, or any Multi Sport or Triathlon race, than this fantastic place?”

As well as Multi - Sports Breaks and holidays the company is also offering long weekend breaks, cycling & mountain biking holidays, running or swimming holidays, or any combination of these to cover Duoathlon, Aquathlon and Triathlon Holidays, and can even arrange canoe training sessions to keep the Quadrathlon fraternity (Triathlon plus rowing) happy, and are the only company to go out of their way to make special arrangements for non-participants - friends & partners, who are often left to fend for themselves on these type of holidays. They are also keen to welcome aficionados of the fast growing Off-Road or X-Terra Triathlon discipline, making full use of Ibiza’s spectacular network of of-road paths & trails, and can offer highest quality “Giant” road or mountain-bike hire to save athletes the hassle, cost & risk of transporting their own cycles if they prefer.

The inaugural camp dates are now set for 01-08 October 2006, which is a preparation week for competitors in October’s ITU Ibiza Long Distance Triathlon and with strong interest so far from several UK Clubs for late 06 & early 07 Camps, the sight of often lycra-clad athletes training hard in various disciplines looks set to become as commonplace as lager-louts with Union Jack shorts once were on this ever-changing Island.
