Of Iron Virgins and More

A collaborative work by Baula, Carpena, Sebastian and Villanueva

 

This weekend our team Endure, along with dozen other teams and individuals, will congregate in Cebu to participate or partake of that human sports drama called Ironman 70.3, or half the full distance. Like many recent teams, our 2 year old team is one that is founded on the Ironman dream. So far, out of almost 40 members, one of us has done the full ironman distance, 5 have finished the Ironman 70.3, about half have done the Olympic distance, and almost everyone has done the sprint/mini-sprint distance.

This weekend Endure sends to Cebu a contingent of 12 solo triathletes,  4 teammates in 2 relay teams, and 2 youngsters in IronKids. These 20 athletes are lovingly supported by a contingent of about 20 family members, friends, relationship partners, and yes a well-loved yaya J  This is how Endure does multisport –  inclusive, purposeful, passionate and cheerful.

The team is very much excited for the 70.3 debut of 9 athletes – 5 from Endure Metro Manila, and 4 from Endure Cagayan de Oro.
