IRONMAN Coeur d’Alene 2021 – Pedro Gomes, 3rd place in 8h17
It's incredibly easy to write a blog entry about a successful race, so I will keep this relatively short on the race happenings and focus on other aspects of racing and training. On June 24th I raced IRONMAN Coeur d'Alene and placed 3rd place in a time of 8h17:05. I...
IRONMAN Florida 2020 – Pedro Gomes 7th in 8h13
The year is 2020. The world is in the midst of a pandemic. Covid19 has been the cause of a yearlong of races and events cancelations. But it is now November and Ironman Florida, in sunny Panama City Beach, is a go! First full distance Ironman in the U.S. this year and...
15 years of success
For the past 15 years Pedro Gomes has been chasing the dream that fuels his life: becoming the best triathlete he can be. After switching to IRONMAN racing and while Triathlon is not a huge sport in Portugal, he has been chasing the sun and the best locations to train, race and life.
Pedro Gomes has been a solid contender at any race in World for the past decade and a driving force inspiring others to pursuit their dreams and goals in Triathlon.
With the loving support of his wife, they have been on the road for the past 4 years, having lived in Arizona, London and Dubai, and always competing at the highest level in his sport of choice.
What’s going on in 2021?
THE WEEKEND
Hard training and great camaraderie are my mottos in Triathlon and the main goal of the 2021 PG Triathlon Coaching ‘Get Together Weekend’. This weekend took place between June 9, 2021 and June 13, 2021, in Flagstaff, AZ with amazing weather (while everyone in Phoenix was cooking!).
We had the usual swim/bike/run but also a few curveballs along that made things interesting to say the least. We had my wife and in-house chef Carolina providing amazing meals every day and the essential SAG on long rides and training sessions.

IRONMAN St George 70.3 – North American Championship – race season opener with an extremely competitive field on a extremely challenging course. My goal for the race is to get a solid effort on the day even tho Ironman is still my #1 focus in training.
IRONMAN Tulsa – North American Championship – given that lack of opportunities to race due to the pandemic, I will take a bit of a gamble and head to Tulsa, OK for this event with a clear objective of finishing in the Top 10 on what will be expected to be an very deep field.
IRONMAN Coeur d’Alene – returning to Coeur d’Alene after the hiatus of the full distance in Idaho. I have done this race in 2015 with a boiling 107F marathon but incredibly views. My full focus is to get to the starting line healthy, rested and prepared to give it my best shot.
Mountain Man Triathlons – as one of the most iconic races in Arizona and as I enjoy racing among friends, I will tackle both the Olympic distance and the 70.4 distance at 6000ft.
IRONMAN California – my personal ambition is to break the 8 hour mark at an official, full distance Ironman and I hope the new race in Sacramento, CA, offers the opportunity to do so. I may swap it by Ironman Arizona or Ironman Florida a bit later in the year if either end up being a Pro race.
