Post-race interview with Javier Gomez at Ironman 70.3 Staffs (video)

Posted on May 7, 2021

After winning Ironman 70.3 Staffs today, Spain’s Javier Gomez told us at the finish line that he “didn’t want to push it too hard” as he’s in the middle of a tough block of training.

“It was a very tough bike course, and after all the rain yesterday it was quite slippy out there! I held back a little on the bike as I knew the guy in the lead (Thomschke) was going a bit too fast for me, but I wasn’t too far behind coming into T2.”

“I went hard on the first lap then was quite conservative after I got the lead, I’m in the middle of quite a hard block of training so I didn’t want to push it too hard. I’m really pleased with the win and I feel confident building up to the 70.3 Worlds now”
