“Races like the IRONMAN World Championships are the reason why we train hard. We are proud to represent Santé Barley TriTeam in such a prestigious race. We will give our all to bring honor not just for the team but also for our country,” pahayag ni Rivera.
Kabilang sa nadomina ng team ngayong taon ang dalawang major triathlon races sa bansa – ang National Age Group Triathlon Race 2020 nitong Enero at Apollo Petroleum Jelly TRI 2020 nitong Pebrero sa Subic Bay, Olongapo.
Kabuuang 2,000 atleta ang makikilahok sa Vega Ironman na may distansyang 140.6-mile – 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, at 26.2-mile marathon.
