I’m not on Facebook so I’ll give you my comments here….
Wonderfully run event, probably the most fun (if that’s the right word…) I’ve had in a race I didn’t finish!
The support from the moment I got off the plane in Legazpi through to the accommodation at CWC and the food in the hospitality tents was simply superb. You made every one of us experience what life must be like for the pros! The support on the course was simply breathtaking - I’ve never seen so many people on a bike course! - and the logistical input from all concerned to get everyone and their baggage etc out of Cam Sur the following day was very impressive.
I’ve been to many events all over the world as part of my job as a sports journalist (two Olympic Games, three World Cups and much more besides) and I can say, without doubt, that this was organised on a par with any world-class event. In fact, it exceeded many events that have a much higher profile throughout the world. You guys get a definite five-star rating!
Now all you need to do is to get LRay to resurface the road on the bike course (and install AC on the run course for us pasty Irish guys!!!) and you’re going to have one hell of a race in the coming years…I just hope I can get enough time to train for next year so I can actually finish the damn thing!!
Thanks for everything guys, and in particular the amazing Pinoy hospitality. You all made it a weekend to be remembered!

Dear 70.3 Philippines Team!
Congratulations on a wonderful inaugural race! I enjoyed every minute
of my stay in Cam Sur.
The level of service you provided from the check-in at Manila aiport,
before, during and after the race until the arrival back in Manila was
simply outstanding.
The location was well chosen and the local support along the bike and
run course is something I have never experienced at a race in Asia.
What an atmosphere!
A special thank you also for making it possible for me to go on the
helicopter trip to Survivor Island. That was awesome!
You guys have raised the bar in Asia which is great for the sport in
the region and all the other events striving to get better.
Thank you once again for a great weekend!
Best regards,
