Noya exhibition in a race of 10 km

The Triathlon World Champion has been the official winner of the III Popular Race Concello de Cambados (Pontevedra) held on Sunday 12th. His time was 29'14, on a three-lap approved route; without gradient but with tight turns and about 200m of cobblestones per lap. It should be noted that at the finish line he was beaten in the sprint by the Portuguese José Rocha, who was disqualified because being an athlete of his national team he could not participate in a race outside the calendar official of the Spanish Federation. Rocha has a record of 10.000'28 in the 10m track and finished 41st in this year's World Cross Country Championship in Punta Umbría.

Noya has taken this race as part of his preparation, without having varied his routine of sessions in the three sports, once he recovered from the Casa de Campo triathlon. He has been pulling from the start, remaining only with the Portuguese in the 3rd lap: “The least of it is having finished 1st or 2nd; the important thing is that I ran very fast, at a constant pace of about 2 per kilometer. Maybe with others of a higher level shooting you would have done a better time, but it could also have burst. Today I have taken my maximum pace from the start, which was what we were looking for. I still have several sessions of great intensity before the European and among them may be on Sunday 55 the Galician Championship of 19km asphalt, which I already won in 5 ”.
