“FastTwitch enduro-type racing is my favorite format of multisport, it will test your patience and ability to pace yourself is a must.  If you go out in the first legs too fast, you will pay for it in the end. Despite that it is a short course, the lung-busting efforts make it hard, and I am happy many where satisfied finishing a challenging race’’ said Coach Abe Tayag, the race brand founder.

In the men’s junior elite competition, Liam James David topped the enduro category in 1:25:03 and Jena Valdez was the top female junior elite with a finish time of 1:35:14.

See you in our next race!” added race director Jumbo Tayag.
