==========================================

My first full IRONMAN TRIATHLON will be next Year
.
Lanzarote is one of the seven Canary Islands belonging to Spain. On this truly spectacular volcanic island, only 120 Km from the West coast of Africa, you will find one of the toughest Ironman competitions in
the world.
The Ironman Lanzarote Spain is an official qualifying competition for the Ford Ironman World Championship in Hawaii.
Ironman Spain offers 60 slots for the Ironman Hawaii 2010, 5 of which are for pros, allocated according to the male to female ratio in this category; the remaining 55 are allocated to age groups according to the
number of participants in each age group, guaranteeing always at least one slot in each age group category.
Swim (cut off 2h 20min after race start)
The 3.8 km swim is a 2 lap rectangular
course taking place in the Atlantic Ocean just
outside Puerto del Carmen and the water
is around 18-19 degrees so wetsuits are
allowed.
Bike (cut off 10h 30min after race start)
The 180 Km bike course is a hilly and
typically windy ride that brings you through
the Fire Mountains and to the northern part
of the island with the beautiful view of the
neighbouring island of La Graciosa.
Run (cut off 17h 00min after race start)
The run is typically hot and sunny with four
laps of 10.55 km keeping the athletes close
to the spectators in Puerto del Carmen.
