And, they have openly admitted how the crowd’s cheers have been a big factor in pushing them onwards to the finish line. After the race, Reed, who was hobbled by cramps in the 21-kilometer run that capped the IronMan, even said that if it wasn’t in Cebu, he wasn’t sure he would have made it to the finish line.
“This bike course is far superior, it’s just very safe and you’ve got a clean road ahead of you pretty much the whole day. There’s no overlapping with age group athletes so it’s a fantastic way of using the course and I hope that it stays this way,” said Reed, who completed the 90k bike course in two hours and six minutes , about six minutes ahead of his opponents.“I love the people here. I love the course and I’m just so relax and happy when I’m in Cebu.
“The hospitality was amazing, absolutely incredible, from the lead up into the race to today, it was more than I could imagine, amazing! And, the experience today was incredible,” said Gilfillan referring to Sunday’s race.
