Mirinda Carfrae Places Third in Spain

Llanos and Morrison in Spain

Eneko Llanos took the top podium spot at the 2010 Tri Grand Prix Basque Country event in Zarautz, Spain. Catriona Morrison defeated Leanda Cave and Mirinda Carfrae in the women's race.

Paul Matthews, Eneko Llanos and Mathias Hecht were first out of the water with Scott Neyedli, Torsten Abel, Mikel Elgezabal and Clemente Alonso not far behind.

Hecht pushed the pace on the bike and managed to get away from all pursuers. By the time they all hit T2, Llanos was 1 minute down and Alonso, Abel and Elgezabal trailed by another minute.

The fleet footed Llanos then charged into the lead on the run and although the final result was close, Llanos appeared to be in control and crossed the line first in 3:58:14. Alonso finished in second place with a time of 3:58:42 and Elgezabel's time of 3:59:43 made the Spanish podium sweep perfect.
