JORRY YCONG and Kristiane Glendale Lim head a pack of triathletes targeting a second straight win in their respective age-group categories with an eye on the overall championship in the Sun Life 5150 Triathlon on July 9 at the Bellevue Resort on Panglao Island.
Ycong topped the men’s 30-34 division while Lim ruled the 35-39 side with nearly the same clocking of two hours and 14 minutes over the 1.5-kilometer swim, 40-km bike and 10-km run race in last year’s staging of the Olympic distance series in Bohol that also marked the sport’s return after a two-year hiatus due to pandemic.
British couple Nick and Jo Cudmore is also going flat out for a repeat in the 65-69 and 55-59 classes, respectively. Kimberly Paquibot seeks to post a notch higher this time after finishing second to Moira Erediano in the youngest 15-19 category of the seventh staging of the event in Bohol organized by The Ironman Group/Sunrise Events Inc.
While the locals look to dominate the race designed for athletes aiming to embrace multi-sport racing and reach the Ironman level, a slew of foreign bets from at least 11 countries are all coming into the event with the same resolve as the Filipino bidders. Heading the contingent are seven Malaysians and four each from Australia and United Kingdom with the US and France fielding in three athletes each in the event to be held as part of the Sandugo Festival, a project of Gov. Aris Aumentado.
