Compete with Pablo Dapena and it will be the first time that they coincide in a medium distance test

After his Ironman distance debut in June in Australia, Javier Gómez Noya will compete again on Saturday 28 July in Prague in the middle distance triathlon belonging to the Challenge circuit.

After a few days of rest, he resumed the training sessions with the main objective of Hawaii Ironman October in mind, but without discarding other triathlons:

"I want to go back to competitions. After recovering from the Ironman I am now in a period of much training, so I could not have very good feelings in Prague. But I want to make a good competition, I will go out as always to give everything. It will be very hot and there will be a good level of rivals, but what will be a great test to know my current state".

The triathlon will start at 16: 00 (same time in Prague as in Spain), with the Vltava river running through the city as the core of the competition.

The exit and the transition zones will be one of the islands of the river connected to both margins by the historic Bridge of the Legions. After the 2.000 meters of swimming in the river, the 90 kilometers of cycling will be in two laps with almost all flat along the riverbank, except one climb in each three-kilometer lap with 150 meters of ascent.

While the 21 kilometers of the third phase will be three laps crossing several times the Vltava by the classic bridges of the city.

Among the rivals stands out his friend and training partner, the also Galician Pablo Dapena (recent Long Distance World Champion of the International Federation in Denmark) in what is going to be, after many triathlons of other distances the first time they coincide in the half Ironman distance.
