Republic Wakepark, Sta. Rosa City
900m-30k-8k --> turned to duathlon 6k-30k-3k
Upon racking up my bike and having my goggles on my neck a marshal told me to wear my running shoes... huh? As it turned out it's going to be a duathlon since the water is not yet filled to capacity. I saw the top duathletes getting warmed up, not for the swim of course. I also heard a team near my van spoke in Visaya, hope they didn't fly over here just to experience a triathlon. For some reason the line for claiming the timing chip was too long and I was lucky to get mine yesterday. I think it caused the delay of the gun start.
Just across where I parked were these 2 ladies accompanying their BFs
Billy Joe being interviewed by ABS-CBN crew
Kuya Kim

Got to earn those free Rudy Project shades for finishers

Racking up the bike after getting lost by 8K... where were the marshals when you need one
And the winner is... luckily a triathlete not a duathlete
Lots of prizes for the Q and A winners ... I could have won something if not for being too busy with my food stub as I was near the stage when Monica asked a Q... hays
