patience

just keep on turning over the ignition for about 10 seconds each time, and don't push the gas pedal. If it is a recurring problem, my local mazda shop designed a fuel shut off switch and I can probably get you one. If you still can't get it started after a while, clamp the fuel line until it starts, then unclamp it. Don't get used to doing that too much though

...or you could just take out the fuse for the fuel injectors and crank it over with your foot to the floor to get all the fuel out, or if that isn't enough you may have to take out the spark plugs and spin the motor over.

you might have to put some oil into the motor via the spark plug holes to get the compression up. the gas will wash away the oil boundary reducing compression. there should be a few threads on the de-flooding switch installment. my car came with it already on from the previous owner. you can also use the egi fuse method like white fc said.
