AT FIRST glance, no one would bother giving her much of a care. She was, after all, the smallest girl at the starting line of the 1,500-meter run. Her pigtails did not help make her look more menacing either.

But among her peers, Joneza Mie Sustituedo, the diminutive runner from Iloilo, was the one they were gauging their runs against yesterday in the athletics event of the Milo Little Olympics.

A multiple record breaker of the Palarong Pambansa, Sustituedo zoomed out of the pack and left everyone eating her dust bent on her target of making a record in the Milo Little Olympics in her first attempt.

“Andito po ako para makagawa ng record. First time ko po kasi sa Milo Little Olympics. Sana maka record ako,” said the 10-year-old from Iloilo National High School (INHS).

Sustituedo holds the record in the 3,000-meter run and the 800-meter run in the Palarong Pambansa. When she was still in the elementary division, she broke a record in the 1,500-meter run in 2009 and broke it again in 2010.

Yesterday, she won the 1,500m run and crossed the finish almost uncontested, posting five minutes and 7.32 seconds for a good five-second lead over Pajo National High School’s Lovely Fe Andrin.

 

Crizel Diongson of the University of Southern Philippines Foundation came in third at 5:20:48.

Organizers of the Milo Little Olympics have been raring to get the athletics powerhouse Iloilo to join the regional eliminations.

“We wanted our athletes to gauge themselves against some really tough opponents. Sometimes, if they get no challenge, they resign to working hard at a level that is mediocre,” said Ricky Ballesteros.

Ballesteros said they managed to convince Iloilo to join the event after promising to help with their expenses.

“I told them na ilaha lang ang plete and kami na bahala sa food and accommodation nila,” he said.

It may be a huge pressure for the Iloilo squad. They did not disappoint... Read more

ARMSTRONG'S FALL IS MIND-BOGGLING

Bisan pa man og nabiyaan sa puntos human wa makaapil sa unang leg, apan ang Sugbuanong 17 anyos nga si Miguel "Igimax" Maximo nakamaniho gihapon sa pagpatong sa 3rd place sa over all standing human sa ikatulong legs sa men's 16-19 division sa Powerade Philippine Duathlon Series sa niaging Domingo didto sa Sta. Elena City, Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

Ang mga partisipante sa maong kompetisyon motadlas og 7-km nga dagan, 35-km nga biseklita ug 3.5km nga dagan na sab.

"It's not easy to compete for s series event because you lose points if you miss a leg," matod ni Igi kinsa miyembro sa PHL Natl Junior Cycling team.

Tungod sa kataas sa biyahe ug ingon man sa logistic support, si Igimax wa makaapil sa first leg apan nakabawi kini sa niaging duha ka legs.

"I hope to complete the 4th and final leg this October and maintain my standing.  It's tough but I always look forward representing Cebu in a national race," niya pa.

Sa niaging Domingo, si Igimax mitadlas sa finishing line sa oras nga 31:54 minuto sa unang dagan, 1:03:24 nga biseklita ug 20:32 minutos nga dagan. JBM

CEBU’s Luis Miguel “Igimax” Maximo secured the third over-all spot of the men’s 16-19 age group of the Powerade Philippine Duathlon Series last Aug. 19 in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

The 17-year-old Maximo completed a grueling seven-kilometer run, 35-km bike and 3.5-km run in one hour and 56 minutes.

“It’s not easy to compete for a series event because you lose points if you miss a leg,” said Maximo, a PHL junior national cycling team member.

Due to the demands of travel and logistical support, Maximo missed the first leg but was able to make it up in the next two legs.

“I hope to complete the fourth and final leg this October and maintain my standing. It’s tough but I always look forward to represent Cebu in a national race,” said two-time SAC awardee Maximo.

The race attracted about 500 duathletes and was considered the biggest national duathlon competition in the country.

“My run has improved since I trained with coach Mick Perez. But it is still in the bike leg that I am able can catch up with the others,” said Maximo, who was the Asian Junior Cycling PHL representative before taking up duathlon just last May.

THE OLYMPICS: HOPE TAKES WORK

Manila Bulletin.  Hope takes work. Let’s face it, the physical and mental preparation of our athletes are hardly commensurate with the hopes they cherish. While our Asian neighbors have set up world-class sporting infrastructures, many of our training facilities are in a pitiable condition. Some sports depend only on private sponsorship in order to survive. The training of some athletes is even financed by their own parents or private sponsors. Some grew up in the United States, trained there, and would later compete under the Philippine flag – at very little expense from our government. While other Asian governments have set up monolithic sports bodies to supervise the training of their athletes, our national sports agencies are saddled with power struggles and political intrigues. Rather than concentrate on their training, athletes are torn between divided loyalties... Read more

HOW CORPORATIONS SPONSOR OLYMPIC ATHLETES

The Fiscal Times.  In choosing a spokesperson, companies look at the athlete's name recognition, likability, image, personal story and sex appeal. "Companies are looking for a showman," notes Anthony Fernandez, a Florida-based branding consultant who specializes in professional athletes. "They're looking for someone who is passionate, who can entertain, who can bring folks to their feet. A lot comes down to personality."... Read more

ANALYSIS: TROUBLED NSAs STYMIE PROGRESS OF PHL SPORTS

PhilStar.  One of the most telling blows to Philippine sports was dealt by the cycling association. The association had two presidents between 2005 and 2011. One “rebel” group had as many as five who, unable to find a way out of the crisis, stumbled over one another in their haste to resign. The infighting reached a point when the cyclists of the rebel group were not allowed to compete in the tournament of the other.

Since the national trials were conducted by the POC-accredited NSA, other cyclists, who were actually licensed professionals and more qualified, did not participate. In the SEA Games, the POC amateur cyclists were in turn not allowed by the International Cycling Federation to participate because they lacked a license.

Coming back home, both presidents conducted their own separate tournament to determine players for their next international competitions. They scheduled them on the same day. Again cyclists were made to choose, between a UCI (international cycling federation)-sanctioned tournament that would earn them a license and UCI points to see action in professional competitions abroad in the future and a tournament where the qualifiers will get allowances as POC accredited amateur athletes...

TRI, WHY NOT?

CEBU, Philippines - Crossing the finish line has always been every athlete's dream. I had finally accomplished my dream last Saturday and it was priceless.

Finishing the Alaska IronKids Triathlon 2012 really meant something big to me. It was really an amazing opportunity for me to join an international competition and I was lucky to be part of it. We had to swim 300 meters in the open sea, bike for 10 km around Punta Engaño and run 2 km inside Shangrila Mactan Beach Resort non-stop! Being a triathlete is no joke. But when you enjoy doing it, it can be a lot easier.

Ever since school started this year, being a Grade 7 student of Sacred Heart School- Hijas de Jesus has been hard because I had to balance my time for both my studies and training with swimming, cycling and running. But with the support of my school, I was able to find more time to practice my sport.

The most important people that have always been there for me in good and in bad times, support me in my decisions, and will always love me no matter what will happen, are my parents, Maxi and Sheila. I would never be able to survive without them and of course to my bike guru YKK, coaches Tito, Ronald, and Sherwin as well as Mdm. Balicoco and my teachers including Mr. Trani. I am very blessed to have such supportive parents, coaches and teachers to help me improve my sport and studies.

Aside from sweating it out with triathlon, the experience has also taught me values like friendship. I got to meet other triathletes from other countries the same age as I am that came from other places and have realized that this competition was their first time to swim in the open sea.

Discipline and commitment were also the other values that were instilled in me. When you practice the value of discipline, you will surely accomplish what you would want to achieve. These are the important values that we should always keep in mind.

I would like to encourage my classmates and friends to try out this sport aside from being in the computer for hours. We should have a healthy lifestyle so that we could enjoy and be active even though we would already be at our 80's or 90's. So I challenge all of you to be part of any sport that you would always enjoy and have fun.

Oh! I can't wait for my next event. (FREEMAN)

ENTHUSIASTS ASSERT CYCLING IS STILL A SAFE SPORT

Mike Limpag, Sports Editor

CYCLING enthusiasts hope that the unfortunate incident in the Cobra Ironman Triathlon won’t spur fear among fans of the sport.

Although the local cycling and triathlon community are grieving the death of relay participant Ramon Igaña Jr., they hope that it won’t make the public think that cycling is a dangerous sport.

An autopsy released by organizers revealed that Igaña had an acute pulmonary embolism, which caused him to lose control.

“I beg to disagree with some stating that uneven roads at the SRP had anything to do with the accident,” said Ironman local coordinator Oscar Rodriguez.

Rodriguez said that the incident will make athletes more wary about their conditioning, training and probably experience in the different challenges offered by sporting competitions and cited the case of Fernando Zobel de Ayala.

“Although he had a serious accident that could have cost his life a few months back, he chose to race again in Cebu. If I want a race without challenges, then I should ride an indoor bike or run on a treadmill but then again, I could die of a heart attack if I over exert myself,” said Rodriguez.

Jonathan Maximo, father of junior cyclist Igi Maximo, also said that from the narration of the marshal who saw Igaña go pale, it wasn’t the road conditions that caused it.

“It was his body failing on him, not due to his bike handling skills or the conditions of the road kay walay maayong siklista kung ang imong gibati mao na to,” said Maximo.

Maximo had known Igaña since their high school days and he knows that he had prepared for the event.

CEBU'S YOUNG TRIATHLETES READY FOR IRONKIDS

Published in Sun Star Newspaper on August 3, 2012 Friday issue
by Iste S. Leopoldo, Staff Writer
Mike Limpag, Sports Editor

SOME of Cebu’s young triathletes are geared up for this Saturday’s Alaska Ironkids Triathlon at the Shangri-la Mactan Resort and Spa.

This will be a tough race for the young participants because this will be the first time that the swim leg will be held in open water.

“For several years, the swim leg was just held in a pool. Nindot siya mintras bata pa sila, they start competing in an open water aron maanad na sila when the time comes when they compete in the Ironman. However, for kids they won’t be far from the shore because safety is our main concern,” Cebu coordinator Oscar Rodriguez said.

Alaska IronKids is the junior counterpart of the world-renowned triathlon event IronMan.

Cebu will be banking on Triathlon Association of the Philippines (Trap) developmental team members Yuan and Justin Chiongbian and Nina Francesca Villaba along with Shaia Ruth Uy, Jezreel Tan, John Tan, Ana Patricia “Ica” Maximo, Aaliyah Matarugnon. The youngest participant is six-year-old Mikele Jopson, the daughter of veteran triathletes Noy and Amale.

According to Milette, Yuan and Justin’s mother, her sons are ready to compete against easoned young triathletes in the country.

“Yuan and Justin are very excited to race, though, anxious and hoping there won’t be mechanical problems in the bike like a flat. They also aim to beat their personal best and be mature in this sport,” Millete said.

On the other hand, 12-year-old Matarugnon of Sacred Heart School-Hijas, who just joined triathlon this year and topped the 11-12 years age group of the National Age Group Triathlon (Nagt) race, is doing minimal training for this week and as well as schoolmate Ica Maximo.

Maximo took the 13-14 age group title in the Talisay Triathlon and in the Congressman Red Triathlon Leg 1.

Mikele Jopson is also eyeing another podium finish after winning first place in the NAGT supertrikids and second in the Moonyeen Durano Triathlon Cup supertrikids.

“Are they going to win in London? These kids are going to be up against swimmers 8 to 10 years older than them, who have swum millions of meters more than them annually.

10 COMMANDMENTS FOR SWIMMING PARENTS

by Rose Snyder, USOC (adapted from Ed Clendaniel's 10 Commendments for Little League Parents)

I. Thou shalt not impose thy ambitions on thy child.

Remember that swimming is your child's activity. Improvements and progress occur at different rates for each individual. Don't judge your child's progress based on the performance of other athletes and don't push them based on what you think they should be doing. The nice thing about swimming is every person can strive to do their personal best and benefit from the process of competitive swimming.

II. Thou shalt be supportive no matter what.
There is only one question to ask your child after a practice or a competition - "Did you have fun?" If meets and practices are not fun, your child should not be forced to participate.

III. Thou shalt not coach thy child.
You are involved in one of the few youth sports programs that offer professional coaching, do not undermine the professional coach by trying to coach your child on the side. Your job is to provide love and support and a safe place to return at the end of the day. Love and hug your child no matter what. The coach is responsible for the technical part of the job. You should not offer advice on technique or race strategy or any other area that is not yours. And above all, never pay your child for a performance. This will only serve to confuse your child concerning the reasons to strive for excellence and weaken the swimmer/coach bond.

IV. Thou shalt only have positive things to say at a swimming meet.
If you are going to show up at a swimming meet, you should be encouraging, but never criticize your child or the coach. Both of them know when mistakes have been made. And remember “yelling at” is not the same as “cheering for”.

V. Thou shalt acknowledge thy child's fears.
A first swimming meet, 500 free or 200 IM can be a stressful situation. It is totally appropriate for your child to be scared. Don't yell or belittle, just assure your child that the coach would not have suggested the event if your child was not ready to compete in it. Remember your job is to love and support your child through all of the swimming experience.

VI. Thou shalt not criticize the officials.
If you do not care to devote the time or do not have the desire to volunteer as an official, don't criticize those who are doing the best they can.

VII. Honor thy child's coach.
The bond between coach and swimmer is a special one, and one that contributes to your child's success as well as fun. Do not criticize the coach in the presence of your child, it will only serve to hurt your child's swimming.

VIII. Thou shalt be loyal and supportive of thy team
It is not wise for parents to take their swimmers and to jump from team to team. The water isn't necessarily bluer in another team's pool. Every team has its own internal problems, even teams that build champions. Children who switch from team to team are often ostracized for a long, long time by the teammates they leave behind and are slowly received by new team mates. Often times swimmers who do switch teams never do better than they did before they sought the bluer water.

IX. Thy child shalt have goals besides winning.
Most successful swimmers are those who have learned to focus on the process and not the outcome. Giving an honest effort regardless of what the outcome is, is much more important than winning. One Olympian said, "My goal was to set a world record. Well, I did that, but someone else did it too, just a little faster than I did. I achieved my goal and I lost. Does this make me a failure? No, in fact I am very proud of that swim." What a tremendous outlook to carry on through life.

X. Thou shalt not expect thy child to become an Olympian.
There are 250,000 athletes in USA Swimming and we keep a record of the Top 100 all time swimming performance by age group. Only 2% of the swimmers listed in the all-time Top 100 10 & Under age group make it to the Top 100 in the 17-18 age group and of those only a small percentage will become elite level, world class athletes. There are only 52 spots available for the Olympic Team every four years. Your child's odds of becoming an Olympian is about .0002%.

WIgiNS WINS

He added: “People laughed when I said that our aim was to win the Tour within five years with a clean British rider... Read more

VELASCO: THE OLYMPICS - WHAT IT REALLY TAKES

What does it really take to succeed at the Olympic level?

Starting early. This applies all throughout the process of trying to get into the Olympics from the time the athlete is a child. Scientific studies have shown that it takes about 10,000 hours to produce consistent world-class performance in any field, not just in sports. In ordinary terms, that is three hours a day for about 10 years. If a child begins training at the age of seven, he or she will be internationally competitive in his or her late teens, then build on that the next few years. Some world champions are still teenagers, after all... Read more

HENSON: FIL-AM IN OLYMPIC BMX RIDE OF HIS LIFE

Phil Star.  Caluag, 25, is the only Asian of 32 male qualifiers from all over the world. The BMX (Bicycle Motocross) event was introduced in the Olympic calendar in Beijing in 2008 with Latvia’s Maris Strombergs capturing the gold medal in 36.190 seconds. The schedule of competition is on Aug. 8-10 and will feature quarterfinal, semifinal and final rounds. In each round, eight cyclists are engaged in a head-to-head battle, starting off with a ride down an eight-meter-high ramp then negotiating a dirt circuit that has a banked corner, S-bend transfer and jump marks. The quarterfinal and semifinals consist of three runs with the cumulative time determining the riders to advance. The finals will gather the top eight cyclists in a single-lap showdown... Read more

JUICO: CHILDREN'S SPORTS

Phil Star.  Hyman says in the interview with SL that much of the blame falls on parents’ laps who have usurped control of youth sports. “It’s not the presence of adults that is distorting youth sports. Rather the issue is our well-documented impulse to turn sports for children into a de facto professional league. Only the kids are losers here. Their voices are rarely heard, and then only to justify the questionable judgment of adults.” Hyman emphasizes that “already we’ve turned youth sports into highly rated prime-time TV programming worth millions of dollars to networks and their sponsors.”...

CYCLING: BEST CROSS-TRAINING FOR RUNNERS

NY Times.  Cycling is the best cross-training sport for runners, Mr. Cook believes, since it builds an aerobic base while maintaining range of motion. “It forces your leg muscles to contract and increases the blood flow,” he said. “If you do it properly, you’re not really straining on the bike, the muscles aren’t getting that abused.”...

The average runner’s cadence is 180 steps per minute. “If you get on the bike and you’re riding at 90 r.p.m.’s,” you replicate that cadence, Mr. Pierce said... Read more

CHIONGBIANS MAKE WAVES IN DANAO

Published in Cebu Daily Newspaper on June 25, 2012 Monday issue
by Mars G. Alison, Correspondent
Rick Gabuya, Sports Editor

THE CHIONGBIAN siblings are making their presence felt in the triathlon scene as they finished in the top 3 of their respective categories in yesterday's 2nd leg of the Congressman Red Tri Series held in Danao City, Cebu

Having the most notable finish among the Chiongbians yesterday was 14-year old Justin, who finished third overall in the sprint distance with a time of 53 minutes and 10 seconds.

Justin of the Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu opted to compete in the sprint distance rather than the half sprint for the SuperTriKids (STK) contest.  He also clinched the 16 & below title.  With this progress, Justin will be one of the competitors to look out for in the upcoming IronKids slated Aug. 4.

Justin's younger brother, Yuan, finished second in the 11-12 years old category of the STK, while his younger sister, six-year-old Savannah, ruled the under 7 years old category.

OVERALL WINNER

Franz Baguio relegated the rest of the field behind him as he finished first overall with a time of 51:23.  He also claimed the title in the 25-29 year old category.

Second overall went to former Philippine team member Chris Aldeguer, who clocked 52:15 to also top the 35-39 years old category.

Other top finishers were Vicente Cabahug in the 20-24 years old category, Ritchie Mataragnon in the 30-34 years old; and Mark Angelo Laus in the 40-44 years old.

In the STK category, Xeemon Sage Cuyos dominated the 7-8 years old, Ralph Eduard So topped the 11-12 years old male, Aaliyah Ricci Mataragnon reigned supreme in the 11-12 years old female, John Trian Tan came in first in the 13-15 years old male while Ana Patricia Maximo once again claimed the 13-15 years old female title.  The sprint relay was topped by the team of Bernie Gomez and John Benedict Sy./CORRESPONDENT MARS G.

Mike T. Limpag & Marian C. Baring, Sports Editors

MORE than 20 participants for the Supertrikids will be strutting their wares in today's 2nd leg of the Congressman Red Triathlon Series at the Sand Beach Resort in Danao City.

According to Triathlon Association of the Philippines (TRAP) executive director Oscar "Boying" Rodriguez, the race will serve as a springboard for future junior national team members.

Among the athletes taking part in today's race are the Chiongbian brothers Justin and Yuan, former Supertrikids champion 11-year-old Nina Francesca Villaba, and youngest participant 5-year old Marc Anton Queblatin and triathlon winner Ana Patricia Maximo.

Former national member Chris Aldeguer will be joining the sprint event.  Congressman Red Durano and Vice Mayor Nito Durano will be joining the duathlon event.

It will be the last major triathlon competition before the triathlon season close with the Cobra Energy Drink Ironman 70.3 on Aug. 5 at the Shangri-la Resort and Spa. ISL

CONG. RED TRIATHLON GETS UNDERWAY TODAY

Published in Cebu Daily News on June 24, 2012 Sunday issue

Rick Gabuya, Sports Editor

THE 2ND LEG of the Congressman Red Tri Series will kick off today in Danao City with a SuperTriKids (STK) competition to be held alongside it as a sidelight event.

The second leg of the series was supposed to be held in Camotes Island early this month but it was cancelled due to bad weather.

This Danao City leg woudl have been the third and final leg but instead it will serve as the second leg with the third leg slated July 1 at the Alegre Beach Resort in Sogod town, northern Cebu.

The Danao leg will feature a sprint distance, a mini-sprint for the STK and a duathlon.

The sprint distance will cover a 750 meter swim, 20 kilometer bike and a 5 kilometer run.  The mini sprint will cover half of the distance of each discipline while the duathlon will start with a 2.5km run, 20-km bike and end with another 2.5-km run.

Notable athlete seeing action is former Philippine team member Chris Aldeguer.

Representative Red Durano (Cebu 5th district) and his father Danao Vice Mayor Ramon "Nito" Durano will also be seeing action in the duathlon event.

The STK, on the other hand, will have about 20 hopefuls joining.

Organizer Oscar "Boying" Rodriguez said the STK will serve as the springboard for future Cebuano junior national team members.

Once again showing their potentials will be the Chiongbian brothers Justin and Yuan, STK champion 11-year old Nina Villaba, Ana Patricia Maximo and youngest participant Marco Anton Queblatin, who is just five years old.  After the third leg in Sogod, the town will also host the Sogod Mayor Moonyeen Tri-Cup on July 14./CORRESPONDENT MARS G.

LIMPAG: HOW A FOOTBALL CALENDAR CAN HELP ABOITIZ CUP

Published in Sun Star Newspaper on June 18, 2012 Monday issue
by Mike Limpag, Sports Editor & Columnist, Fair Play

THERE was a time in Cebu football, when the Aboitiz Cup was the only thing that mattered and all the rest played second fiddle.

That is no longer true as it has become one of the casualties of the clash of schedules of organizers in Cebu football and teams, forced to choose between a festival and the Aboitiz Cup, prefer to join the two-day tourneys instead of Cebu’s longest running football tournament.

Worse, some teams compromise the quality of their games by joining two events in a day, which led to Paref-Springdale getting banned by the old CFA board for three years. (That of course, is another story).

One of the plans of the new board--the one whose recognition is being put on hold by a mysterious complainant in the PFF—is to bring back the prestige of the tournament and there’s a simple way of doing that.

A football calendar where the Aboitiz Cup is the centerpiece event and the rest of the footie festivals are scheduled around it.

The rest of the regular annual football tournaments—the Cebu City Olympics, the Milo Olympics, the Cesafi, Sinulog and Thirsty Cups—have regular schedules that can be easily inputted in such calendar. And if there’s a clash, it’s a matter of adjusting the dates.

There should be no pissing contests where one organizer dares a team, “just choose which one you will join” because that’s what got us here in the first place.

There’s another plan, this one coming from the Aboitizes themselves, that I hope will be revived by the new board.

Back in 2010 and in 2009, before the start of the tournament, the organizers met sports editors for help on marketing their tournament. They also wanted their website promoted--they wanted players to tweet, post news in their Facebook accounts, link fotos and the whole nine yards.

Social media, of course, was what helped make the Azkals big and organizers of the Aboitiz Cup were smart enough to recognize such power before the Azkals became mainstream.

In 2010, I told them that the website would have been a huge help in 2009 if only there were regular updates. But they said they already addressed such problem, spending hundreds of thousands of pesos for a system--including hardware--that would allow field officials to just input the data after a game and voila, you have updates.

Sadly, that too, didn’t happen and that’s something that I hope would change this year. The website, sans data, is a waste of cyberspace.

So, how does one get the data and how many men do you need to get such data for a huge event like the Aboitiz Cup that lasts for months?

I know the perfect guy to ask and unless he’s busy supporting his son’s budding cycling career, I hope former president Jonathan Maximo can give the new board tips in gathering data. He did it then, that means it can be done again.

CONTEST. There’s also another idea I threw at Maxi a few years back and it could help spur interest for Cebu football in the social media—get the school papers involved. By the time the Aboitiz Cup gets rolling, the school papers will be busy with their first edition and getting them to write about their school matches would be easy since it’s part of their job.

Students these days, they post everything they do—and don’t do—online, so a few posts about their school’s Aboitiz Cup campaign could lead to a few copycats and so on.

There could even be a contest for the student writers and photojournalists and what’s the one prize that could spur them to do their best—an all-expense trip, and a media pass, for the next Azkals home game?

Cebu, Philippines - Halandumon ang unang pag-apil n Luis Miguel 'Igimax" Maximo sa duathlon dihang midaog siya og bronze medal sa second leg sa 2012 Powerade Philippine Duathlon Series dili pa dugay didto sa Daang Hari, Alabang.

Si Igimax, kinsa milumba sa men's 16-19 age-group, misubay sa wala niya masinati nga rota nga nakabalda sa paspas nga pagdagan niya.

Bisan pa'g dili suhito, si Igimax nakahimo gihapon sa pagdaog og bronze human niya gitapos ang lumba sud sa usa ka oras ug 40 minutos.

Ang two-time SAC awardee nga si Igimax naghuna-huna karon nga mosalmot og lain pang duathlon competition lakip na ang final leg sa Philippine Duathlon, Clark Duathlon ug Asia Duathlon Championship nga gikatakda sa nanghinapos nga bahin ning tuiga.

Hinuon, ang road races maoy unang prayoridad ni Igimax sa tanang sporting events nga iyang giapilan. (BANAT SPORTS)
