Challenge Phillipines 70.3

Finish Strong Coaching's Jerry Palmer completed Challenge Philippines on Saturday, February 14. It's  a half iron distance race.  Jerry reports, "That thing was brutal. Probably 6000 ft of climbing over 56 miles. Most at 7%+ grade and a good portion between 11-15%. Then a trail run for. 21k. Good warm up for ironman. Finish time was right around 8 hours, cutoff was 9. 40 minute swim, 4:30 bike, 2:50 ish run on the hardest 70.3 course I've ever been on. Oh and it was definitely in the 90's all day."
