Javi Gómez Noya finishes his preseason stay in Fuerteventura

The current Triathlon World Champion He has spent the months of December and January on the Canary Island (with some parenthesis at home for the Christmas holidays, for attending press engagements, award ceremonies or appointments as special as that day he spent riding a mountain bike with Rafa Nadal in Mallorca) housed as in previous years at the Playitas Resort, an ideal place for concentrations of any type of athlete.

There he has begun to fine-tune his machinery for a Season 2014 in which he not only has the challenge of renewing the world title but will also play in September the Half Ironman World Championship in Canada, right after the final of the World Series.

 After his intense and successful 2013, he took a well-deserved vacation of almost a month and a half. Therefore, guided by Carlos David Prieto, he began little by little at the beginning of December to increase both the duration and the intensity of the sessions and it can be said that in view of his first triathlon of 2014, a Half Ironman in Panama on 16 February, has already reached a good level: "In Playitas and in the rest of the island of Fuerteventura I feel very comfortable. I have facilities for any type of session in addition to a climate that allows training with summer clothes whatever the month. And I have been here for several years during the winter and I cannot be more satisfied with the choice and the treatment I receive at Playitas "

 The novelty of this preseason has been being accompanied by other triathletes; Javi had already taken a friend triathlete to concentrations on time, but now he has formed a stable group in which although obviously none of them have the same level in competition, they do have it to be able to "tighten the nuts" in training. There are two established Spanish triathletes: Jesús Gomar (current Spanish Olympic Distance Champion) and Cesc Godoy; the promising Galician Pablo Dapena, the Serbian based in Spain Ogjnen Stoianovic and the South African Henri Schoeman, who stands out for his high level in swimming. And of course his partner, the triathlete German Ricarda Lisk: "With this group I not only have hard companions to training but also the rest of the day we had a good time since we are above all friends. Training it has been a very wise decision. "

 Javi will be at his home in Pontevedra only the first week of February, since before the Half Ironman in Panama he will go to San Diego on the 8th for the awards ceremony of the best triathlete of 2013 awarded by the prestigious North American magazine Competitor. And after Panama directly to New Zealand, where he will continue with his training for the first appointments of the World Series that will be in April in Auckland and Cape Town.
