Striped tee, chambray skirt, print sleeveless tank, grey camp tee

           Recently we went to Spain to participate in the ITU World Competition.  My husband and I do duathlons.  The trip started in Pontrevedra and then we toured Madrid, Cordoba, Seville and then joined Trek Travel for a week of biking in the mountains of southern Spain.

Navy peplum tank, navy long sleeve tee, grey long sleeve tee, grey twist front tee

        I needed enough clothes for two and a half weeks plus all my race gear and riding clothing so I needed to pack light.

Blush jeans, jeans with laces, olive Pixie pants, grey jeans

     I chose a color palette of grey, blush, olive and navy/denim.  Since the weather would still be cool in the morning and evenings I packed mostly long pants though I did include a skort and a dress.

Neutral scarf/wrap, denim jacket, grey hoodie, blush cardigan

      I had 8 tops, two sleeveless, three short sleeve and three long sleeve to cover all the different temps.  I had 4 pants and a skort for the bottoms.

White flip flops, grey sneakers, silver flats, white sneakers, running shoes

     Four outer pieces plus 5 pairs of shoes, one of which were my running shoes for the race, completed my wardrobe.

     

Navy swing dress, navy skort

       Because we also had to bring bike helmets, shoes and pedals plus all our riding outfits I really tried to keep things to a minimum, even the jewelry I brought with.

Multi-colored bracelets and necklace, silver bracelet, 2 pairs of earrings, pendant necklace and pretty earrings I bought

     Here are a few of the outfits I wore.  Excuse the quality of the photos as sometimes the hotel lighting was really bad.

On the way to Spain

     Long sleeve grey tee with a tank top under for added warmth on the plane.  Grey jeans, blush cardigan, grey sneakers and the awesome scarf/wrap that my daughter gave me for Christmas.  It is very lightweight but is big enough to use as a blanket if needed.

In Pontrevedre 

      Wearing striped tee, with jeans, grey sneakers and blush cardigan.  I had my Travelon purse with me.  So nice with RFID protection and slash proof straps.

Flat lay of another outfit

     Grey twist front tee, skort, blush cardigan and white sneakers.

     I also included a pair of pajamas, swimsuit, under garments (made of wool so lightweight and non-stinky), compression socks and a couple of pairs of no-show socks.  I think I could have maybe gotten it into a carry-on if I didn't have all of the other things I needed for the race and bike trip.
