good roads, and it’s their first time to host,” he added.

Cobra Ironman 70.3 opens registration for 2014 Philippine race
Cobra Ironman 70.3 opens registration for 2014 Philippine race
(Manila, Philippines) This year’s Cobra Ironman 70.3 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 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 aswell.
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 are back log.
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 wasnt 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 on the television Brownlee just powering
away from the rest of 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 afterwards 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
