Its main objective is to add the highest number of points in search of the classification for Kona

 

Next Sunday 16 will be held in the British town of Bolton the Ironman of the United Kingdom, where Catalan will participate Miquel Blanchart, with the aim of trying to add the maximum possible points in order to be for the second time in his sports career in the global Hawaii Ironman

A few days ago Miquel himself commented to us in a interview that "Bolton will be the main objective of the year [...] My main goal is to try to get the highest KPR points ".

The competition consists of 3.800m swimming in the cold waters of Pennington Lake Flash. Later the triathletes will give two laps to a hard circuit of 90 km with the climb to the Sheep House Lane, to total 180km of this sector that will have an average difference of over 2.000m, which is one of the largest of the Ironman franchise in Europe. Finally the 42,2 km of marathon also have slopes so it will be a tough race on foot. Finally, mention the great possibilities of rain on the day of the test, which can make an IM even harder and epic.

In the male category, the main favorites are Estonian Kirill Kotsegarov, the British Fraser Cartmell And French Romain Guillaume. We hope that Miquel can be with them fighting in the first positions.

As regards the women's competition, the British Nikki Bartlett y Lucy Gossage and the Germans Diana Riesler y Katja Konschak They are the favorite principalities.
