Germany-based Benedicto rules IRONMAN 70.3 Philippines in Lapu-Lapu, Cebu - BusinessWorld Online

Ranged against a slew of heavy challengers from 46 nations, the Filipino race warrior came, saw and conquered the historic Mactan island — shaded by dark clouds but filled with ever-beaming Cebuano crowd — in a glorious swim, bike and run to the championship of the Megaworld IRONMAN 70.3 Philippines presented by AIA Vitality at the Mactan Newtown.

Coming in by his side was Negros Occidental pride Ines Santiago, who was hailed as IRONMAN queen by clocking 5:23:14 in the endurance race that featured over 2,000 participants. But his pet event on the road was a different story as the former pro cyclist dazzled in the 90-km bike course along the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway — the newest and biggest bridge in the country — and cut through the bulk of the lead group to only trail two rivals entering the ultimate run tiff.

With the help of Sunrise Events, Inc., organizer of IRONMAN in the Philippines, Mr. Benedicto found a bike to borrow and the rest was history.
