Eneko Llanos faces the start of the 2012 season in Abu Dhabi

The Vitorian triathlete Eneko Llanos will kick off the 2012 season on March 3, taking part in the international triathlon in Abu Dhabi.

Llanos has confirmed his presence in the first race of a "special" year where the long-distance Triathlon World Championship to be held in Vitoria on July 29 has been marked on his calendar.

Eneko prefers not to focus on that momentous event yet and chooses to go "step by step" with the stages of the season before reaching the peak moments.
Next Saturday Eneko Llanos will return to have contact with the competition in the Abu Dhabi event, which he already won two seasons ago, and where he hopes to "calibrate and assess" the winter preparation work carried out to date.

The Basque has been training in Lanzarote for two months, accumulating kilometers of running, cycling and hours in the pool to arrive in "good shape" for the opening race of the season.

Llanos finalizes in the capital of Álava the material that will take him to Abu Dhabi and the Asia-Pacific Triathlon Championship that will take place on March 25 in Melbourne (Australia) to find the necessary points to ensure the ticket to the Ironman of Hawaii of the next october.
