00:04Mga kapuso, galing sa swimming, running at cycling ang kailangan sa multi-sport event na triathlon.
00:10Kaya naman, hindi biro ang training ng atletang si Michael Hobson para lang makasilver sa Asia Triathlon Aquathlon Cup sa
00:19Vietnam.
00:20Let's get in the game sa pagtutok ni Martin Javier!
00:33500 meter swim, done in 7 minutes and 57 seconds.
00:412.5 kilometer run, tested after 9 minutes and 53 seconds.
00:48Ganyan kabilis ang 19-year-old triathlete na si Michael Hobson.
00:52Kaya nakuha ang silver medal in the 2026 Asia Triathlon Aquathlon Cup, TAMCHUK, last May sa Vietnam.
01:00I was really happy to see it all come together.
01:03I'd worked really, really hard the past couple months leading up to that
01:06and to have it all play out and come together, especially in an international race.
01:11More than pressure, I feel like it's just so much support
01:13because everybody knows how hard I work and what I've been through to get to this point.
01:20Ang podium finish ng Tubong Cebu na si Michele, testament ng kanyang love for triathlon
01:30na nagsimula noong siya'y limang taon pa lang.
01:33I did my first one when I was 5, so I had training wheels and my parents followed me along
01:39the whole course.
01:40I really got competitive into triathlon like around 3-4 years ago is when I started doing the elite level
01:47and then yeah, now we're here and very happy to be able to represent the Philippines.
01:53Hindi birong training ang kailangan sa triathlon na isang multi-sport endurance event
01:58na binubuo ng swimming, cycling, at running.
02:06At ngayon, tutok si Michele in strengthening her swimming skills.
02:10We're getting there. We're putting in lots of work in the pool to hopefully be up there.
02:14It's very, very technique focused, so I feel like that's what I've been focusing a lot on is...
02:19What was the biggest adjustment for you, especially, you know, triathlon relies a lot
02:24or depends a lot on the weather conditions.
02:28Definitely the heat, it was very hot when I got here.
02:32I actually train and live in Pennsylvania where it was very, very cold.
02:39Hangad ng Cebuana at Heart na maisakatuparan ang Golden Dream sa Southeast Asian Games.
02:44There's a couple of America's Cup races that I want to do.
02:47There's a few in Mexico and a few in the US and then come back and do probably Subic again
02:53and some Asia Cup races as well.
02:55Siyempre pa, in the game tayong makisabay sa aquathon training ni Michele.
03:00Subukan natin sabayan yung fast pace na dito sa 400 meters, which is one lap in the oval.
03:08Pitry lang natin sabayan.
03:09Ready, set, go!
03:27So, we're here at the pool, swimming naman yung susubukan natin.
03:30We have Michele.
03:31So, Michele, first off, which style do you use?
03:35Which technique do you use when you do triathlons?
03:38So, triathlon, aquathlon, freestyle.
03:40Okay. So, what are your tips for me in freestyle?
03:46Most efficient, in and then straight back.
03:48Straight back.
03:49How many strokes until you breathe in?
03:52I think every two to three is a good start.
04:02Today, we got to know our rising star in Philippine triathlon.
04:06Kasabay pa natin siya tumakbo at tinuruan niya tayo lumangoy.
04:09Struggle at first, pero maganda experience para sa atin.
04:13This has been Martina Vieira.
04:15And Michele Hobson.
04:16Keeping you in the game.
04:18This has been Martina Vieira.
04:19This has been Martina Vieira.
04:21This has been Martina Vieira.
04:22This has been Martina Vieira.
