/ 02:45 AM September 19, 2016

BAGUIO City’s Jarwyn Banatao leaned on a solid bike performance to bag the men’s crown in the National Duathlon Championships Sunday in Iloilo City.

After a tight contest with early favorite Emmanuel Comendador and Requi Trupa in the first 8.5K run, Banatao pulled away from the lead pack in the second transition of the 40K bike leg.

Banatao sustained his four-minute edge in the final 6.5K run for a final time of two hours and 17 seconds as Bohol’s Comendador also got slowed down by stomach cramps.

Comendador finished a distant second with a 2:04:28 clocking, while Cebu’s Jolan Olmilla rounded out the podium finishers in 2:04:59.
