Igaña’s death during the 90-kilometer bike leg of the Ironman 70.3 shocked many in Cebu’s running community and was the only sad note in an otherwise successful staging of the event. Igaña was 45.

“We were helping (distribute sports drinks) and the last word from Ramie to us at our station was, ‘Moinom ko okay dili na raba magkita ninyo (I’ll get a drink because I probably won’t see you guys again),’” posted Tony Galon, Igaña’s friend in the Ungo runners’ group.

He probably only referred to the flurry of activity in the celebrations expected to cap the race. But it was indeed the last time many of his fellow runners or cyclists would see him.

Igaña competed in the relay event under Team TTB Extreme along with his wife, Dr. Humility Igaña, who was supposed to run the half-marathon, the last leg of the event.

According to a source, Igaña was dead after arriving at Chong Hua Hospital and was being autopsied as of press time.

BJ Odilao, Treat senior rescuer, told Sun.Star Cebu they were initially given a different name (not Igaña’s) when they told the organizers the man’s race number. (A check later, however, showed the number given was, indeed, Igaña’s.)

Odilao said the accident happened around 9:30 a.m. while the cyclist was attempting to get a water bottle from his bottle cage.

The news literally stopped Barangay Tinago councilor Joel Garganera in his tracks. Garganera said he and some of his friends were at the Marian site in Barangay Lindogon and were riding home when he received a call about Igana’s passing.

“Wala gyud ko katuo (I couldn’t believe it). I never thought that it would happen. It’s very tragic and sad,” Garganera said in a phone interview.
