CEBU CITY, Philippines — Roughly two weeks after they lorded the National Age Group Triathlon (NAGT) in Subic Bay, Cebu’s pride Andrew Kim Remolino and Raven Faith Alcoseba stamped their class anew, this time in Camarines Sur.
Remolino and Alcoseba topped the overall male and female divisions, respectively, in the Go For Gold Sunrise Sprint triathlon race on Sunday, February 11.
To recall, Remolino and Alcoseba also emerged the champions in the NAGT last January 28 to start their year with some promising wins.
