SUBIC BAY, Philippines — First Philippine full Ironman champion Nick Baldwin of Seychelles sees a tough race when he plunges back to action to test his endurance anew against a slew of strong rivals in the much-awaited Century Tuna Ironman 70.3 Subic Bay presented by Big Boss Cement today here. Fresh from a breakthrough conquest of the 3.8km-180-km-42km swim-bike-run full Ironman last year also held here at the country’s triathlon capital, Baldwin returns with a mission of seeking a quick follow-up in the 1.9km swim - 90km bike - 21km run 70.3 Ironman this year. Certainly, there are athletes that are more accomplished in this 70.3 Ironman distance,”said Baldwin who also braces for a scorching hot Subic weather as one of the hurdling factor other than his counterparts. It’s gonna be hot and every race is difficult. Oli Stenning from Great Britain and Rodrigo Acevedo also loom to be major threats.
