Gómez Noya returns to the American circuit in Dallas

The ferrolano returns to the Life Time Series to compete in the US Open on October 2

Global triathlon icon, Javier Gómez Noya returns to the Americas once his season in the International Federation (ITU) World Championships has ended. After some commitments this weekend in Spain, he travels to the United States to compete in the closing of the Life Time Series, the North American circuit. The two-time world champion will participate in the US Open in Dallas on October 2.

Recently proclaimed champion of Spain for the fourth time, Gómez Noya is currently fulfilling two commitments in Spain. Yesterday he opened the store in Madrid of the American multinational Specialized, his sponsor for the Bike, and today he is attending another event at the Water Sports Center in Calella, where he participated in a two-week training camp shortly before travelling to the World Cup final in Beijing.

Back in Pontevedra, Gómez Noya will train for a few days ahead of the Dallas test. The man from Ferrol will travel on Thursday, September 29, and will compete three days later in Texas. He will participate in a US Open that closes the Life Time Series, the North American circuit, in which he lacks points for now.

This is not the first time that Gómez Noya has competed in the United States. In addition to the Des Moines (Iowa) tests that were part of the calendar of the ITU, he also participated twice in the Los Angeles triathlon, where he came first in 2009 and second in 2010. When he was scheduled to compete in the prestigious Dallas event, he fell ill.

Triathlon events in the United States do not follow ITU regulations. One of its singularities is that participants cannot go on wheels in the cycling sector. After the Dallas event, the man from Ferrol will be invited to Hawaii to watch Iron Man as a spectator. Afterwards, he doubts whether to go to a World Cup event in Tongyeong (South Korea) or fulfill other commitments.
