Javier, Abad in big wins Sharing the spotlight with the elites were Jeric Buhian and Cebuano duathletes Justin Chiongbian and Shaia Ruth Uy who dominated the Junior Sprint and Mini-sprint categories in the race organized by the Triathlon Association of the Philippines (TRAP) in cooperation with the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) Department of Tourism. The 16-year old Buhian meanwhile erased bitter memories of last year’s Asian Duathlon Championships held at the said venue as he clocked an impressive one hour, two minutes and 26.08 seconds in the 5K run, 20K bike and 2.5K distance. “Nagkaroon ako ng infraction sa helmet sa bike transition at na-disqualified ako. Leading ako noon kaya ang goal ko po talaga ay manalo rito,” said Buhain, a developmental pool member, who defeated Edward Jared Macalalad (1:03:30) and Jarwyn Banatao (1:05:40). Chiongbian retained his title in the boy’s mini-sprint (40:16.06) while 14-year old Uy won her first duathlon race in 46:13.83. The good performance of the young duathletes boosted TRAPs plan to put more young athletes in the pool next year. journal.ph/index.php/sports/62872-javier-abad-in-big-wins #duathlon #duathlete #subic #philippines #sports #triathlon #triathlete #triathletes #multisport #run #bike #cycling #cyclist #events
