SCOOP DAVAO: What was your team strategy going into the race? RU: “Our team strategy was to focus on our individual strengths and training without interfering with one another, since each of us specializes in a different discipline. “I handled the bike course, our runner is Coach Elmer Bartolo, who is a well-known runner in Davao, and our swimmer, Sean Alan De Leon, competed in his first relay triathlon. “Despite it being his first time, we were very confident in him because he was highly recommended by our team owner’s coach." SCOOP DAVAO: Was this your first time racing together? RU: “Yes, this was our first time racing together as a team during Ironman Davao 70.3 2026, and we truly hope it won’t be our last." SCOOP DAVAO: Who do you want to thank for this victory? RU: “We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our team owner, Katty Fayery Bitte, for her unwavering support. “She provided everything we needed without hesitation—whether it was fuel, race gear, or emotional encouragement. Her support played a huge role in our success." Click here to view a list of other articles written by Kim delos Reyes-Teves.  |
