According to Galura, they were blessed with a wonderful weather which contributed to the perfect race condition despite the weather forecast’s 70 percent chance of rainfall last Sunday. Galura also revealed that many triathletes have already told her wishing that they would come back for next year and would still traverse CCLEX.Cebu, being the “Crown Jewel of Asia” in triathlon, was badly hit with the COVID-19 pandemic and the super Typhoon Odette.“Going into the race, it was very difficult because Cebu like any other province or city was affected by COVID-19, and it hit the economy hard and the government,” Galura explained.
“The race’s expo was built for two-weeks with most of the materials came from Mindanao. It was brought here with six big trucks. So, sinong magtitiwala sa atin ng ganun kalaki ? Aside from giving us rooms in Savoy, so it was a big investment and I know they also got ROI in their partnership with Ironman,” he said.In addition, Galura ensured that they had followed all health and safety protocols while doing the race.
