Six days to go until SuBIT/ASTC Asian Triathlon Championships! This will be my second Olympic distance triathlon ever, and will be my first triathlon of the year.
Before I go into how I’ve prepared for this, here are some race reminders and announcements:
- The Age Group Sprint has been moved to April 28 (Sunday) 6am to reduce the number of wave starts on Saturday.
- Race briefing for Age Group Sprint and Standard Distance will be at Harbor Point Mall at 5pm, April 27. Dinner will be served after the briefing.
- Bare torso swimming will NOT be allowed.
- The approach to Dungaree from the Airport will be closed. Pass through the NCT Road, All Hands Beach side.
- Please check out the course maps for your information.
- Verify your information on the start list.
Aside from putting in all the swim, bike, and run training, it’s always a good idea to recon the course. Since I’m the only one in Team Endure doing the race, I joined Raymond Racaza of Run.PH and “Kuya” Kim Atienza on their recon yesterday.

It’s Raymond’s first standard-distance triathlon (his first tri was the XTERRA Lite offroad triathlon), and this is Kim’s second time around on the SuBIT course. read more »
