Okay...Lanzarote etc adventures:
Friday: 5km run (had to head home early because of cold), 500m swim and 20km bike (didn't go further as needed to keep a muzzle on half ironman (70.3 is the offical name) friends all tapered up).
Saturday: well...I was going to cycle up and see friends at the 20km point they went through twice on the bike...but it was really windy and friend's boyfriend had other ideas. He needed a run for costal ultra training (ex-paratrooper with 10 hr 45 min ironman time whols just done the OMM ultra), so I joined him for a 28km round trip across the dirt/sand roads that were a shortcut to the town up the first hill. Yup, hilly, yup, on sand and yup, I was the definite weak link. i walked lots 
am blaming the reminants of my cold though and think I've done something to my leg...hmmm...was fun though in a kinda mental way. Both friends crossed the line for the 70.3 and were VERY happy to see us on the course! Got to cheer on heaps of others too. Great experience!
Sunday: 55km cycle with a group from the resort. Was the weak link again as I'm sooo not speedy on the bike and with the wind we had to keep together in a tight group which I hate doing so dropped off the back. Did have a nice wee cycle home with the danish guide though.
Then an easy 600m swim that evening to help the post-70.3 people ease up.
Monday: too windy so went sight-seeing all over the island. Really interesting place for volcanic activity!
Tuesday: decided I should try out the lagoon so popped out for a lap of the course. Was congratulated by all the wimps in wetsuits but it wasn't that cold. Then pilates in the sun and another jaunt on the bikes. Only 35ish kms though as people's post-70.3 legs weren't up to much more.
Wednesday: I was determined to get out on the hills on gabbana so we did most of the 70.3 cycle. Yeah, it's tough being my mates after I haven't done the big event 1200ms of climbing with a 10km hill. FUN! Then that night there were a few drinks. Apparently we got back about 4amish. 
Thursday: back to london, quick unpack and packing again for Rome. Yeah, I lead a tough life.
Friday-sunday: bit of a blur really...there was some rugby in there I think and lots of 6.6% italian beer and wine and vaguely remember some cocktails. 
All in all lanzarote was brilliant! Would throughly recommend it for an active holiday.
That enough of a holiday report for you DV?
