The popularity of Triathlon in the Philippines continues to soar. After winning 100% of the available medals up for the offer,. Hence the maximum possible result. TRAP (Triathlon Association of the Philippines) had 2 Golds, 2 Silvers from Men and Women in the 2 events it entered. Golds came care of Huelgas and Kim Mangrobang.
Furthermore Its ‘Good for the Country’ to see event planners planning an event a year in advance. As in the Philippines, a lot of events have a venue and schedule changed sometimes a week before the competition is slated. Especially relevant is a total of 2971 signed up for two major international Ironman Triathlon Events scheduled in 2018.
While 1700 Triathletes signed up for the Regent Aguila Energy Drink Ironman 70.3 Asia-Pacific Championships.
Yet In sport loving Cebu. Hundreds of Cebuanos signed up for the onsite registration at the Cebu Provincial Capitol Hall for onsite registration. And the course features a 1.9km swim, 90k Bike, and 21k Race. 21k is a Half Marathon equivalent.
Most Noteworthy however is the event is not slated until August 5, 2018. While it will be held at the Shangri-La Mactan and Resort in Lapu Lapu City. Furthermore, the race stretches the cities of Cebu, Mandaue and Talisay.
Meanwhile, Davao City also had a similar high signup for its 2018 Alveo Ironman 70.3 Philippines event in March. 1271 participants signed up in Davao.
“The slots in Cebu sell out fast, so we make sure that we’re in the list. Registration is exciting,” said former footballer Voltaire Montebon, who registered in both the Cebu and Davao races. “I’m excited for Davao 70.3, I think the race there will be nice. Davao City has good roads, and it’s their first time to host,” he added.
For triathlete John Philip Dueñas, the races in Cebu and Davao next year are crucial to him as he will try to bounce back from a disappointing finish in the 2017 edition two months ago. “I will really practice. I want to redeem myself. There will be a friendly competition among the local elite, which is good for the level of competition in the country,” said Dueñas.
Duenas also happens to be the coach of SEA Games Champion and Olympian Mary Joy Tabal.

Cobra Ironman 70.3 opens registration for 2014 Philippine race
(Manila, Philippines) This year’s Cobra Ironman 70.3 the Philippines ended with a bang in August at its second-time host location, Cebu City. A successful turnout of over 2,000 athletes from across six continents and 35 countries tested their minds, bodies, and spirits to the limit in a continuous 1.9km swim, 90km bike, and 21.1km run. And since its first arrival in 2009, it has been the biggest and most highly anticipated premium-sporting event to land on Philippine shores.
Although it has only been a few weeks since the last participant crossed the finish line, the Cobra Ironman 70.3 Philippines is now opening the registration for the 2014 race.
Starting October 1, athletes can start logging on to www.ironman703phil.com to secure race slots. Last year, the slots were filled up four days after registration opened, and the Cobra Ironman 70.3 Philippines team expects the same, if not more, registrants for the 2014 race.
Cobra Energy Drink has been powering the biggest race of endurance for five years straight. The brand is the race’s biggest supporter, on hand every step of the way to sustain the energy needed to endure the race.
Some of the world’s best athletes like Courtney Atkinson dominated this year’s men’s pro category, besting all other local and international athletes with his 3:58:07 race time.
Coming in on second place was three-time Cobra Ironman 70.3 Philippines winner Peter Jacobs with a 3:59:09 time; while David Dellow placed third with a 4:02:22 finish. Leading the women’s pro race was Caroline Steffen, finishing with a 4:16:12 time, while 2012’s defending champion Belinda Granger came in second at 4:33:50, and Bree Wee completed the podium with her highest time of 4:27:49. Meanwhile, Philippine pride, four-time Filipino women’s elite champion and professional triathlete, Monica Torres, finished fifth with at 4:52:02.
There are different reasons why athletes challenge themselves to finish the Ironman; some do it for a healthy lifestyle, others to test their endurance, and there are those who do it for their advocacies. This biggest triathlon race has been known as well to attract local celebrities and icons. Joining this year’s relay competition was Apl D Ap of the international group, Black Eyed Peas, who biked for 90km for his advocacy for the education of the poor.
Another highlight was a cancer patient, Manny Angeles, who was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in 2005. With only the goal of taking home a Cobonpue medal, Angeles came in 9 minutes after the cutoff, in triumph knowing he can finish despite his illness.
“There is no easy way to do it. It takes commitment, discipline, and a whole lot of rigorous training. Cobra Energy Drink shares with athletes its values of perseverance, dedication, and survival amidst and against all odds,” shares Abe Cipriano, Asia Brewery AVP for Marketing of Non-Alcoholic Beverages. “Cobra is proud of this milestone in Philippine sports event. We are proud to be a big part of the first five years of Cobra Ironman 70.3 Philippines, and we look forward to seeing greater participation in 2014, and in years to come.”

Pinoy triathletes win medals in Singapore (Oct 4)
From the Manila Times
Philippine Developmental Pool members Justin Liam Chiongbian and Vicky Deldio made waves for the country by winning bronze medals during the Cold Storage Singapore Triathlon held over the weekend.
The 14-year-old Chiongbian, who hails from Cebu and won honors in past local youth triathlon events, fought hard to finish at third place out of sixty-five competitors in the triathlon boys 13-15-years-old category (200 meter swim–10 kilometers bike–2km run) with a time of 28 minutes and 27 seconds. On the same category, teammate Sixto Lalanto of Cagayan de Oro squandered an early lead emerging from the swim and ended up finishing fifth place with a time of 29:07.
Vicky Deldio of Tri-Clark, aged 14, also proved her worth placing 3rd in the girls 13-15-years-old race which attracted thirty-five competitors representing ten nations. She clocked in a total 33:02, one minute behind the champion Zoe Natasha Bowden of Malaysia.
On the Boys 10-12-years-old race, 11-year-old Yuan Chiongbian (Justin’s brother) ended up at 4th place with 33:08 while on the distaff side Nina Francesca Villaba timed 39:20 for a sixth-place finish.
Competing on foreign soil for the first time, the two Chiongbian brothers and Villaba are aspiring to qualify for the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China. All 13-15 youth triathletes, who are active participants of the TRAP’s SuperTriKids series, are now gearing up for the 2012 Batang Pinoy triathlon event which will be hosted by Iloilo City on December 7 and 8.

Alistair Brownlee Wins Gold Olympic Games Triathlon 29 minute 10km run! (Aug 13)
This is the second Triathlon article I have provided a link too. Pinoyathletics is generally a Track and Field site but due to are growing numbers of Triathletes, Duathletes and Ultra Marathon runners we have decided to occasionally cover other sports as well.
Understandably the Triathlon finished a few days ago but we had quite a lot of coverage of the Athletics. It is now time to catch up with our backlog.
I was told the other day in the gym that 25-year-old Alistair Brownlee of Great Britain had run 29 minutes and seven seconds for the 10km run a respectable performance in any country for an individual 10k, only catch was it wasn’t a set of fresh legs! this is quite impressive after a 1500m run and 43km cycle. This puts Brownlee in the same super endurance category of
Lance Armstrong almost. I remember overseeing the television Brownlee just powering away from the rest of the field taking the lead solo on the bike section of Triathlon.
.
Alistair Brownlee’s time of 29 minutes 7 seconds in the 10,000m of the triathlon
was just 97 seconds slower than Mo Farah‘s gold-winning time in the 10,000m
Olympic final. Brownlee’s time was quicker than Mykola Labovskyy‘s in the 10,000m final. The
Ukrainian finished last in 29.32..
His 10km run was so fast that he said afterward he is considering entering the 10,000m track and field event at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014.
It was a close finish with Alistair at 1:46.25, Gomez 1:46.36 and Jonathan 1:46.56
