He wants to participate in March with the Abu Dhabi short course, which consists of 1.5 km of swimming followed by 100 km on a bicycle without drafting and finishing the race with 10 km on foot.

"I'm used to competing in the distance of 40km" it will be a challenge for me to do the 100km.

Alistar will have to cope with the high temperatures as I am used to training in colder weather.
