The avowed goal of the Cobra Energy Drink Ironman 70.3 Philippines is to be world class and the third edition in CamSur this August 14, with its star-studded field of professional triathletes, will uphold that lofty standard.
Leading the men’s field are top male professional triathletes including defending champion Pete Jacobs, Cameron Brown, Luke Gilmer, Justin Granger, Erich Felbabel, Jesse Thomas and Dan Brown. The female professionals include Amanda Stevens, Belinda Granger, Katya Meyers and Bree Wee.
Defending champion Jacobs returns to CamSur hoping to grab the second of back-to-back titles. He denied Cobra Energy Drink Ironman 70.3 inaugural champion Terenzo Bozone the same honor last year with Bozone placing only second.
Jacobs has always been regarded as one of the world’s premier Ironman swimmers. His trademark is his ability to swim away from the pack and start the ride alone out in front. He has improved his run time immensely making him an even more formidable competitor.
