Burgos, Quiambao set for 5150 CamSur
MANILA, Philippines — The homecoming of the triathlon to Camarines Sur promises a thrilling showdown as two of the country’s top Olympic distance runners, Erika Burgos and Bea Quiambao, gird for a spirited battle in women’s division of the 5150 CamSur on Feb. 11.
Both triathletes, dominant in the last two editions of the Sun Life 5150 Bohol, are not only vying for the overall championship in the challenging 1.5km swim, 40km bike and 10km run race, but are also set for a fierce duel in the 20-24 age-group category.
Burgos, riding high on confidence after a victory over Quiambao in the 5150 Dapitan last September, enters the event with a time of 2:21:46 compared to the latter’s 2:26:45. However, Quiambao, also a previous champion in 5150 Subic, is determined for redemption after an intense off-season preparation.
Registration is through ironman.com/5150-camsur-register.
Challenging the anticipated clash between Burgos and Quiambao are formidable competitors such as Sophia Capistrano, Araceli Sales, Isabel Locsin, Hanna Bueña and Heart Quiambao.
The event, backed by Go for Gold, 2Go, Rudy Project, Sante Barley, Ilaw Atbp., Manila Bulletin, Tempo and Sportograf, is expected to be a spectacle of athleticism and resolve.
It also marks the return of the top endurance race to Camarines Sur.
