Denmark’s Rasmus Henning previews the 2011 Abu Dhabi International Triathlon.

This Saturday’s 2011 Abu Dhabi International Triathlon will feature one of the deepest pro fields of the year. In fact it will feature one athlete that won’t even be racing this October in Kona in reigning Ironman World Champion Chris McCormack.

We chatted with last year’s third-place finisher Rasmus Henning last month while he was training in Las Playitas on the Canary Island of Fuerteventura. Henning chats about his preparation for the race, the unique conditions of Abu Dhabi and who he thinks has a chance for victory.
