Who was better in his debut IRONMAN, Javier Gómez Noya or Alistair Brownlee?
Although you can not compare 100% since it is not in the same test, we do it as a curiosity
Yesterday we saw the expected debut of Alistair Brownlee in the distance IRONMAN in IM Cork, where with a spectacular foot race tracing 17 minutes got the victory in the test.
In this competition the swim segment had to be canceled due to bad weather, and although we know that it is not possible to compare the times of the debut with Javier Gómez Noya last year in Cairns (where he was second) because the test is not the same, without swimming and bad weather (14 degrees), we do it as a curiosity, especially to look at the race on foot.
That's why we compile the times both races where these two great figures of the triathlon debuted
