chono,
This is Slash. You guys have done a great job in reviving the triathlon in Cebu. I know it's a long way to go but I'm sure you guys can make it if you'll stay focus and pull some resource (ppol) and good practices. Cebu is naturally a place for triathlon event, with wonderful beaches and nice weather. I'm looking at your website and I'm impress the way you're bringing this forward. If I am only there I'd be happy to join the club. However, I'd like to share some thoughts from a trainer's point of view, you must approach putting the event with respect to periodization training. Meaning, there's an off-season and in-season. We want to promote the sports by having a large number of participants as much as we can as well as retaining them for long-term whether turning pro or a hobby. There must be a clinics to be conducted at least 5-3 months prior the event so as educating them and bring the awareness and benefits of the sports in promoting fitness and wellness. So you pulling people from different field of expertise swimmers, cyclists, runners, PE teachers, fitness professionals and sports business people and bring them in one event that they may speak, sort of like a tri-summit. With the right publicity and the right execution, I'm sure it's achievable. I know there's an associated risk since this may require some capital in doing that, but never the less the the way to bring this forward.
