Duke aims to reclaim Bellevue title
Australian Dimity Lee Duke hopes to regain the women’s crown when the Bellevue Resort 5i50 Triathlon kicks off on Nov. 5 in Panglao Island, Bohol.
Duke yielded to compatriot Amelia Watkinson in last year’s edition of the event featuring 1.5k swim, 40k bike and 10k run in both divisions.
Duke said she can’t wait to race again in Panglao.
