Omandam, Lim eye repeat

MANILA, Philippines — Eryk Omandam and Natasha Doromal-Lim brace for a tougher challenge as they seek back-to-back overall titles in the Damosa Land 5150 Triathlon in Samal Island on Sept. 20

The defending champs conquered the demanding Olympic-distance course – 1.5km swim, 40km bike and 10km – with grit and smart racing during last year’s inaugural staging.

They expect an even sterner test this time with a deeper local and foreign cast, but both remain confident of repeating their breakthrough performances, with sharpened race skills and the same winning mentality.

The Damosa Land 5150 serves as the fourth and final leg of the four-race 5150 Triathlon Islands of the Philippines Series backed by the PSC, an elite-level circuit designed to elevate the country’s sporting profile while showcasing its spectacular natural venues.
