Vitoria triathlete living with the illusion that it is one of the first major test of 2011. The good taste of the past year I do get to Abu Dhabi with even more energy, if possible. “I am willing to fly out there to compete on Saturday. I am already looking forward to arrival of the first major event of the year,” said Llanos in its own website. Alaves was satisfied with “how it’s going fine-tuning.” “These days low training volume and increases the break.

My body begins to assimilate all the training done so far and start to notice the improvements, “he said.
Llanos is one of the rivals to beat by athletes such as Craig Alexander, who said he sees “until about ten athletes with options to win.” “In other races the winner is usually three to five athletes, but this race will be very competitive and exciting,” said the Australian, which saw Rasmus Henning, Dirk Bockel, Chris McCormack and, of course, the defending champion Eneko plains, “as the leading candidates to win.”
