Anneke: "My Media Distancia debut has not disappointed me!"
“Thanks to everyone out there, in the rain, cheering for me! I appreciate every single one of you!! ❤️”
Hours after his arrival at the finish line we could read on the Instagram of the already beloved New Zealand-Galician triathlete words of thanks to the Spanish public:
"My Medium Distance debut has not disappointed me! I have enjoyed the rhythm and feeling good at all times, although we will see how my legs respond tomorrow!
I am happy to be able to take victory today in the Spanish Medium Distance Championship. Thanks to everyone who has been out there in the rain cheering me on, I appreciate you all! "
The luxury of having Javier Gómez Noya
And it is that in recent years he has not stopped winning titles of Triathlon World Champion being the IRONMAN 70.3 Cascais 2019 (Portugal) the last time we saw him get on a Medium Distance podium
This 2020 has been a year with hardly any international competitions, which on the other hand has brought us the gift of being able to see him compete again in a national Medium Distance event.
"What a race! The coldest in a long time, but I felt good and happy for the victory in this Spanish Middle Distance Championship.
Congratulations to Collin Chantier, Gustavo Rodríguez and Albert Moreno! And to all those who finished, on such a hard day.”
