Meet the Coaches

---

A two-time IRONMAN Pro champion, Pedro Gomes has spent over a decade coaching athletes to reach their full potential in triathlon. With experience coaching both remotely and in-person, he keeps his training group intentionally small to provide personalized, year-round guidance. His results speak for themselves - Pedro has helped over 23 different athletes qualify for the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, a race he has competed in four times as a professional. Pedro holds coaching certifications from USA Triathlon, USA Cycling, RRCA, IRONMAN U, and is a NASM-certified personal trainer. But beyond credentials, he believes that a strong community and face-to-face coaching play a crucial role in an athlete’s success. His philosophy centers on long-term development, ensuring athletes not only improve but also thrive in the sport for years to come.

As an athlete, Pedro continues to push boundaries. He still holds some of the fastest official IRONMAN times ever recorded by a Portuguese triathlete, with a personal best of 8h08 (2013) over the full distance and 3h48 (2015) in the half-distance (70.3). A true endurance enthusiast, Pedro seeks out challenge and variety through ultra races, gravel events, and epic cycling stage races - embracing adventure in all its forms.

More recently, he’s been chasing a faster marathon PB (currently 2:30:13) and stepping deeper into the world of ultra running, guided purely by his own research and experimentation. All while still pursuing triathlon at age 42 - proving that aerobic endurance is highly transferable. Develop it in one arena, and it shows up everywhere.

When not training, racing, or coaching, Pedro enjoys photography, listening to podcasts, playing chess and continuously expanding his expertise - always in pursuit of the next level of knowledge to help his athletes succeed.
