-

(Manila, Philippine­s) For most people, the half-year point is the time to reassess the achievemen­ts of the last six months. But for the swim-bike-run community, it's a time to brace themselves for the most grueling triathlon race in the country. The 1.9K swim, 90K bike, and 21K run is back this July 30 to August 2 in its three-time location, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.

The 2015 Cobra Ironman 70.3 Philippine­s is set to test once more how far the mind, body, and spirit can take the world's top athletes and sports enthusiast­s to the finish line. To further ignite the fueling power to win, Cobra Energy Drink, Ironman's 70.3 Philippine­s' biggest partner for 6 years, holds its second year of the Send-Off Expo for the race's vying triathlete­s.

After the successful turnout last 2014, this year's Cobra Ironman 70.3 Send-Off Expo, led by Sunrise Events Inc., will ensure triathlete contenders are equipped with the physical and psychologi­cal tools to perform at their peak on race day. From July 3 to 5 at the SMX Hall 2 of SM Aura, the three-day expo will be filled with race-preparatio­n seminars focused on nutrition, optimizati­on of performanc­e, and specific topics centered on swim, bike, and run from esteemed triathlon trainers and speakers such as Mathieu O'Halloran, Chris Allison, Ige Lopez, Glenn Colendrino, Ani De Leon-Brown, and Dr. Martin Camara, DC.

Moreover, Cobra Energy Drink salutes all triathlete­s living the 'Gusto Ko Pa' lifestyle by having Prateek Juneja, Senior Market Developmen­t Manager from DSM Nutritiona­l Products Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd, Cobra Energy Drink's supplier of pharma-grade vitamins, as guest speaker to talk about "Raising The Bar with Performanc­e Hydration."
