More than 200 triathletes participated in the recently held National Age Group Triathlon (NAGT) Series-National Triathlon Trials at the Adventure Cove, Subic Bay, Zambales in the Philippines.
The event was said to be an official qualifying race for the Philippine National
Team for triathlon in the 31st SEA Games and the Triathlon Association of the Philippines (TRAP) talent
identification race.
At the event, three-time SEA Games gold medalist John Chicano ruled the men’s elite category while the biggest surprise in the NAGT was Raven Faith Alcoseba who topped
the standard women’s elite despite being a newbie in triathlon.
The 18-year-old Alcoseba who hails from Talisay City and a varsity swimmer could be one of the members to be selected for triathlon/duathlon team that will don at the 31st Southeast Asian Games in Hanoi, Vietnam.
According to some reports, TRAP is planning to send Alcoseba along with other members of the national team to Portugal to train for
the upcoming SEA Games.
The Philippines who hosted the 2019 SEA Games captured 4 out of 6 gold medals in triathlon and duathlon events.
But this coming month of May, only 4 events are at stake in Vietnam's SEA Games - the Men's & Women's Individual events for both triathlon and duathlon.
