DAVAO CITY, Philippines – Eric van der Linden defied age and expectations, turning back the clock to outperform competitors half his age as he claimed the IRONMAN 70.3 Davao championship here on Sunday with remarkable endurance and competitive spirit.
In the women's division, Leyann Ramo continued her winning streak by putting up another dominant performance to seize the crown. The race, featuring a 1.9km swim, 90km bike, and 21.1km run, also highlighted the newly developed Davao City Coastal Road.
Ciron posted a 00:30:47 time in swim and 02:22:42 in bike but flashed his running skills to finish in 01:21:52 for a 04:19:45 clocking for second overall, while Yee, who timed 00:32:59 and 02:22:15 in the first two events, respectively, churned out the fastest clocking in run to snare third place in 04:20:25.
