Eneko Llanos commented on his social networks: “Finisher and happy with it since there have been many times that the withdrawal has crossed my mind. There was no "chicha" in the legs today, at least not to be ahead. Very stuck in slow rhythms that I find it difficult to pass lately.

I want to think that although today has been a negative aspect, it will be good to face the Ironman in South Africa in three weeks and that "Ironman rhythm" that I have more assimilated will be useful to me in the longer distances."

Classification

The next “ironman” target for Eneko Llanos will be the Ironman in South Africa on April 2.
