“A 70.3 race in Bohol, well, they have a good number of hotels, they have an international airport, the LGU response and rescue is very good. The thing lang talaga is the transition size. It’s because a 70.3 race would require a scalable space because we can’t have a 70.3 race that will only limit to 600. It usually averages to a thousand or even 2,000 triathletes,” Galura said.
“The 5150 is the perfect race for this place. There are enough areas for sightseeing after the race. You can race fast and enjoy the rest of the island after the race,” Galura added. “The swim was very calm, aside from that, there were times na pwede silang tumakbo because it was low tide. So, nakabawas dun sa swim, sa bike sobrang bilis, walang aso, fully-closed yung road. Tapos yung run, uminit ng konti pero naging cloudy ulit. Basically, the conditions were very good for racing. A lot of people say it was a very fast race,” Galura said.
