Top male and female elites, Spain’s Eneko Llanos and the UK’s Julie Dibens, made history in the UAE’s capital as they clinched the maiden US$250,000 Abu Dhabi International Triathlon in emphatic fashion.
Llanos came from behind to win the 223kms ADIT – which is organised by Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) – after beating a host of world favourites to finish with a combined time of 6h34m37 – nearly a minute ahead of second placed Dirk Bockel from Luxemburg. Whilst Dibens – the current Ironman 70.3 and Xterra Triathlon World Champion and 70.3 distance world record holder – dominated to clinch a wire-to-wire victory in the female category, her longest ever race.
