Eneko Llanos points in 2012 to the Triathlon World Championship that takes place in Vitoria
triathlete Eneko Llanos has just finished the 2011 season with its historic victory in the Ironman from Arizona and has already set as his goal for next year the Long Distance Triathlon World Championship, which will be held in his hometown, Vitoria, in July.
Llanos ha emprendido el viaje de retorno a casa desde Estados Unidos y, en declaraciones a Efe, ha explicado que todavía no tiene “claro” su calendar de pruebas para el próximo curso pero tiene “una fecha marcada en rojo” en su calendario y no es otra que la del 29 de julio de 2012, cuando estará en juego el título mundial en Vitoria.
Despite being still nine months away from its celebration, Llanos has not hesitated to describe it as one of the “most important” triathlons of his career and the one that makes him most “excited” to be held in his city.
La prueba tendrá un recorrido diseñado por él mismo y que le sirve como circuito habitual de sus entrenamientos, con un sector de natación de cuatro kilómetros, 120 de bike and a 30 kilometer race.
Eneko finished the season with a historic victory in Arizona, achieving a time of less than eight hours and became the second triathlete to lower that barrier in all the events held in the United States.
The man from Vitoria claims to be “on a cloud” after that feat and now, after completing the return trip to his home, he will face a period of rest to regain his strength after a demanding season.
