One of the best races in Asia, which is why the event sells out so quick.
Flights: Lots of flights to Cebu from everywhere.
Hotel: It's a hotel based event, so staying at the main hotel is good but a bit expensive. I'd recommend as it makes life so much easier.
Swim: Starts at the hotel beach, swimming over coral. Great swim, sometimes some current.
Bike: Spectators line the bike course so you need to becareful and the roads are not the best in the Philippines. Pay attention and avoid the potholes.
Run: Hot and sweaty, but crowds nearly all the way so they cheer you home. Finish line is right by the pool at the hotel, so a good finish area.
After Party: More fun is Philippines.
