Enduroman Lanzarote 2011

The Enduroman Lanzarote Triathlon Festival 2011 already has among its entries several elite athletes with extensive experience in endurance and ultra-distance events.

To the already well-known participation of the British Paul Thompson, winner of the distance several times and last champion of the Enduroman Triple Iron UK 2010, the German Vicki Grunike and the Spanish Toni Payeras are now joined.

Grunike and Payeras will take the start in the Double Enduroman test, one of the four that this triathlon “festival” has, and which consists of running twice the distance of a Ironman, that is, 7 km of swimming, 6 km of bike en carretera y 84’39 km de carrera a pie, algo al alcance de muy pocas personas.

The other three distances that complete the Enduroman Lanzarote are an Enduroman (Ironman distance), a half Enduroman and an Olympic triathlon. Vickie Grunike is 35 years old from Germany. His resume includes a second place in the Worldcup Double Triathlon Race in Slovenia, and another second place in the Worldcup UltraTriahlon, both in 2009. In 2010 he achieved a second place in the Ultra Triple Triathlon in Lensan, and a victory in the 24th Festina RadTrophy.

For his part, the Spanish Toni Payeras is a renowned Spanish triathlete who has embarked on a special solidarity project. Payeras “sells” his kilometers to raise funds for the Vicente Ferrer Foundation. As Payeras himself states, “every stroke, every pedal stroke and every stride are from now on for the Vicente Ferrer Foundation”
