KIM Remolino and Raven Faith Alcoseba hope to ride the momentum of their victories in the National Age Group Triathlon as they gear up for another stab at triathlon glory in the Go for Gold Sunrise Sprint, a sub-category event of the 5150 Triathlon CamSur on Feb. 11 in Camarines Sur.
Remolino pulled off a thrilling victory over fellow Cebuano Matthew Hermosa in last Sunday’s NAGT in Subic, clocking 56 minutes and 56 seconds against the latter’s 56:57 in the men’s category of the 750m swim, 20km bike ride and 5km run race.
Alcoseba clocked 1:03:55 to nail her third straight title, besting Erika Burgos and Kira Ellis, who clocked 1:05:39 and 1:06:16, respectively.
That makes the Go for Gold Cebu stalwarts, who also shared top honors in the short-distance triathlon series in Bohol in 2022, the marked triathletes in the coming Sunrise Sprint, determined to add more titles to their growing trophy collection.
They will be up against strong contenders such as Renz Corbin, John Michael Lalimos, Victor Redillas, Marjon Balisoro, Carron Cañas, Jairo Almonte and Alan Diaz, all poised to challenge Remolino’s bid for another victory.
The Sunrise Sprint, designed to showcase participants’ skills and foster the joy of triathlon racing, attracts a mix of seasoned and beginners looking for new challenges.
