Saim, Chicano and Mangrobang are currently attending a high-performance training camp in Brisbane, Australia under coach Dan Atkins.

“Triathlon Association of the Philippines (TRAP) takes pride in the fact that the Subic International Triathlon is now on its 19th year and all the efforts we have put in promoting and developing triathlon in the country are bearing fruit. We are thankful too for the fact that presently , there are now other triathlon organizers whose events complement our own TRAP-initiated program, auguring well for the future of the sport,” said TRAP President Tom Carrasco.

“As early as now, we would like to announce that TRAP is once again bringing world-class triathlon to the Philippines as we will host anew the 2013 Asian Triathlon Championship in Subic Bay. We have done this several times in the past and this has showcased Subic as a perfect sports haven to a lot of foreigners who have competed here, including several world triathlon champions. What is good too is that now we have another international triathlon being hosted by Subic Bay,” Carrasco added.
