Suspended the swim test in the double Enduroman

The dangerous state of the sea forces to suspend the swimming test of the Double Enduroman of Lanzarote

When the 37 participants in the Double Enduroman triathlon of Lanzarote were on the beach ready and ready to jump into the water and swim the 7.600 meters of the first test of this triathlon competition, the official heads of the emergency services and salvage made the decision to suspend the test due to the dangerous state of the sea.

Lanzarote, like the rest of the Canary Islands, is in orange alert status by very thick sea and winds of up to 70 km / hour.

Faced with this setback, the organizers of the Enduroman Lanzarote triathlon festival decided to replace the swimming segment with a half marathon that started at 16 p.m. After finishing this running race, the 37 triathletes competing in this ultra-endurance event will ride their bikes. Bike They cover a total distance of 360 kilometres, after which they must run another 84 kilometres to complete this competition, the toughest of all those held in Spain.

At the moment it is unknown if tomorrow Sunday the state of the sea will force the enduroman, Middle Enduroman and Olympic swimming events to be suspended, although there is hope that the storm will ease.
