Eneko Llanos will compete this Sunday in the "ironman" of Arizona

The Vitorian triathlete Eneko Llanos He hopes to arrive in “good shape” for the “ironman” event - a long-distance triathlon - in Arizona, United States, which he will compete next Sunday.

The Vitorian has stretched out the 2011 season by participating in a race that, in principle, was not part of his plans, after competing in the Hawaii Ironman and the XTerra World Championship.

The proximity to the United States encouraged him to compete in this last Ironman of the 2011 season to "end the bad taste in his mouth" that he had to abandon the Ironman in Hawaii due to stomach problems, he explained to Efe.

Llanos has admitted that he is having a hard time reaching the end of the 2011 campaign, which is proving to be “long” and that he “wants to finish and return home.” Despite everything, the triathlete admits he still has “strength and desire for this last challenge of the year.”

The preparation for the test in Arizona has been “tough” due to the training in the last two weeks but in the days remaining until the test is held on Sunday it is limited to maintenance and “tuning up the body to get ready in the best conditions”, he concluded.
