Pics from the Ironman 70.3 Philippines Triathlon at Cam Sur



With Ton Gatmaitan and Coach Tim Cone at the Meet the Pros press con that kicked off the 2010 Ironman 70.3 Philippines. Had a long long talk with Coach Tim about the Alaska Aces. I used a part of that in my column yesterday titled "Three sides to Tim's triangle." Hope you liked that.






Some of the pros present at the Meet the Pros. Got to talk to many of them. Will use that for a longer story somewhere. In this picture, they're all saying, "Cam Sur!"




With Alaska Corporation CEO Fred Uytengsu. We put up 13 fingers for the total number of titles his Aces have won in the PBA.




With Kiwi Terenzo Bozzone at the K-Swiss booth. At the Convention Center, he challenged me to get into shape and compete consistently in any sport. There was some wakeboarding Sunday afternoon but by then I flew back to Manila to make it for the Ateneo-La Salle game. K-Swiss happens to be my second favorite brand. Loved it ever since it first came out.




That's me with Mount Isarog in the background.


Pete Jacobs chugs a bottle of Blue Bolt Gatorade after crossing the finish line to win the 2nd Ironman 70.3 Philippines triathlon.

  2. Challenge accepted. As he said, the challenge there is waking up at 5am religiously every morning to get up and work out. Races are won and lost right there."
