Ironman 2007 this year was a success like most. The mens winner Eneko Llanos Burguera who came in at an impressive time of 8:49:38 was the first ever Spaniard to win the Ironman in Lanzarote.
The first female home was Tiina Boman from Finland who completed the course in 9:58:41
It was also a plesent suprise that everyone who managed to finish this years Ironman finish before the 12 o’clock deadline.
The day in Puerto del Carmen was not without some accidents however. Each year as the Ironman becomes more popular bring new danger. The roads in Puerto del Carmen are closed off to car and busses, however they are not closed off to the public who seem to wonder accross the road without a care in the world.
Coming to the closing stage of his bike ride, one competitor who was riding towards the end of stage 2 ended up hitting a person crossing the road. Naturally the competitor was not happy and this is understandable. Hopefully next year may bring in some tighter control of people crossing the road.
