This Sunday, 31st of october, the roads and seas of Ibiza will be the venue for the 2010 Ibiza Iron Man Triathlon competition when around 200 superb athletes will swim, cycle and run for this honour and prizes totalling €12,000!
The action
starts bright and early on Figueretes beach when at 07.30 the elite women (ladies first) lead the charge to the sea for the 4 kilometre swimming section – twice round a 2k circuit – in water which
will be around 18 degrees centigrade!
Then it's onto the bikes for three trips to Cala d'Hort which will clock up another 120 kilometres (watch out motorists – the road from Ibiza to Cala d'Hort is completely closed to traffic) and finally there's a road race consisting of four laps round Ibiza town taking in a jaunt up to the Cathedral x 4 to add another 30 kilometres to the total circuit.
There are detailed maps of the race on the official website for those who want to watch it or avoid it. It's scheduled to finish about 14.00 in Ibiza town, so good luck to all the competitors.
