August 19, 2012. Everyone in the

City, Sta. Rosa Laguna, in a very beautiful under-development private luxury
subdivision in the city limits of Laguna.

The Race Starts at 6 am, so true
enough everyone was there early. It rained for an hour before sunrise broke out
but gladly stopped before 6 am, which made the track medium damp, a bit slippery
with occasional drizzling but that doesn’t stop our duathlon athletes to finish the race safely.
I got to the chance to interview a
couple of TriMac Members Such as TriMac Coach Jojo Macalintal and Mr. Julius
Sin among few of the race’s participants. FYI Coach Jojo Macalintal has been a
Triathlon Coach and Triathlete himself for over 10 years now who wins top over-all
awards in Triathlon events in his age bracket. Mr Julius sin is a
dedicated father, and a respected business man in the auto - service center industry now also a turned
Triathlon enthusiast with the help of coach Macalintal’s Training.
Julius Sin just recently won 1st overall winner in the Subic International Sprint Triathlon in his age group 40 – 44 last May 5, 2012 among other events which he recently participated.
