IGIMAX MAKES ROUSING DEBUT IN DUATHLON

CEBU, Philippines - Luis Miguel “Igimax” Maximo made his debut in duathlon a memorable one by grabbing bronze medal in the second leg of the 2012 Powerade Philippine Duathlon Series over the weekend in Daang Hari, Alabang.

Igimax, who raced in the men’s 16-19 age group, dealt with an unfamiliar route that prevented him to speed up.

Inspite of that, Igimax managed a podium finish with a time of one hour and 40 minutes.

"I was lagging behind in the run legs but I made up for it during the bike portion. The Campagnolo 11-speed groupset and shifters installed in my YKK time trial bike made a big difference during the bike race because I have more gears to choose from and the shifting was fast and easy which resulted in a faster time," said the two-time SAC awardee.

Igimax now looks forward to joining more duathlon competitions including the final leg of the Philippine Duathlon, Clark Duathlon and the Asian Duathlon Championship scheduled late this year.

Road races, however, will remain a top priority for Igimax among all the other sporting events he is joining in.

"I never thought I can climb the podium on my first duathlon race. The competition was tough with the presence of elite and seasoned athletes. All I was after for was to gain experience and exposure since there were no road cycling races in the meantime," said Igimax.

PHL Cycling national junior member Luis Miguel Maximo of Cebu-YKKBikes.com finished with a bronze medal in the Men’s 16-19 category of the Philippine Duathlon Series last Sunday in Alabang.

Maximo, who was facing an unfamiliar race course and lacking in logistical support, negotiated the 6K run, 30K bike, 3K run in 1:40 in the event that attracted more than 300 athletes, making it one of the biggest duathlon races in the country.

The competition is presented by Powerade and organized by Adrenaline Multisport Group headed by Thumbie Remigio.

“I was lagging behind in the run legs but I made up for it during the bike portion.

The Campagnolo 11-speed groupset and shifters installed in my YKK time trial bike made a big difference during the bike race because I have more gears to choose from and the shifting was fast and easy, which resulted in a faster time,” said Maximo.

Maximo, mentored by UCI/ITU certified duathlon coach Patrick Joson, kept his run deficit at a minimum and capitalized during the bike portion to make up for lost time.

“I never thought I can climb the podium on my first duathlon race. The competition was tough with the presence of elite and seasoned athletes. All I was after was to gain experience and exposure since there were no road cycling races in the meantime,” said Maximo.

Italian cycling company Campagnolo, the world's top manufacturer of cycling groupset components, has thrown its support behind 17-year old Cebuano cyclist Luis Miguel "Igimax" Maximo by providing the PHL natl junior team member with the latest top of the line, 11-speed groupset component for his cycling training and racing needs.

The partnership, facilitated by YKK Trading, will enable Igimax to compete not only in cycling but as well as in triathlon and duathlon, with the use of a special time-trial bike equipped with 11-speed groupset & bar-end shifters.

Using the upgraded racing equipment, the two-time Sportswriters Asoociation of Cebu awardee will test his cycling experience as he represents Cebu in the Philippine Duathlon Series today in Alabang, Manila.

The Barangay Lahug resident dipped his feet into triathlon just this year and came out champion in men's 15-19 category and no. 1 over-all in the international Xterra Off-Road Triathlon Lite last March 18 in Liloan. He was also the champion in the men's 19-under category in the 1st Talisay Triathlon last March 25.

"I got sick after completing back to back swim-bike-run events in a span of one week. I guess it was too much for my body. I took an extended rest and hopefully I am recovered now," shares the PAREF Springdale student who graduated high school with honors. The fatigue prevented the youngster from competing in National Age Group Triathlon (NAGT) Series and the Subic Bay International Triathlon last April which could have given him the chance to test his endurance against top foreign and national junior triathletes.

“I made it through an entire Classics season with no crashes – nothing in the beginning of the year – and then I come here and it seems like it's every day,” said Phinney. “A lot of it has been out of my control.
