The determined Spaniard also put in a heroic performance. He had arrived to the Himalayas only the day before the race – straight from hospital. He had been there after completing ten Ironman races in as many days. About halfway to Khardung La, Sanjuan had to be provided medical attention and needed several deep inhalations from an oxygen bottle, but he did not give up and also completed the race.
