After a false start, the Pros first started the race, after which age-groupers started 3mins later. The swimming race started at the Club La Santa Lagoon, then the very difficult bike race over the Tabayesco climb with the beautiful Lanzarote landscape in the backdrop and three loops of a flat course around the lagoon from Club La Santa into La Santa village.
The race was pretty difficult but exciting according to the participants. Amongst the men, Will Clarke from Great Britain came in First, Victor Del Corral from Spain was Second and Romain Guillaume from France came Third. The top three women were Helle Frederiksen from Denmark, Lucy Gossage from Great Britain and Nicole Woysch from Germany.
