AUGUST BENEDICTO pulled off a big August Sunday coup by cutting loose in the last loop of the closing run leg to beat Aussie Mark Jansen and capture the overall championship of the Megaworld Ironman 70.3 Philippines at The Mactan Newtown in Lapu-Lapu City.
“I thank God for giving me the strength and to all the Cebuanos for their support,” added Benedicto, who drew inspiration from the cheers of the crowd that lined up the roads. “Hearing their cheers, I was energized.” “Actually, when I woke up, I got my period and that was a tough challenge. I started bleeding at the run but you know, girl power!” added Santiago, who, along with the rest, also praised the successful staging of the event organized by The Ironman Group/Sunrise Events Inc.
Salem actually flashed his superb riding skills again to get on track for a second endurance race title after topping the Sun Life 5150 Bohol last month but lost steam in the run, together with Jonathan Pagaura, enabling Benedicto, Jansen and John Alcala to snatch the top 3 places in the blue-ribbon event presented by AIA Vitality and organized by The Ironman Group/Sunrise Event, Inc.
