Pinay Ace Completes Ultraman Florida
The Philippine Star
|March 05, 2025
With less than two minutes to spare, Jennifer Aimee Uy pushed her body and spirit to the limit, crossing the Ultraman Florida finish line in a dramatic, hard-fought moment.
-
The grueling three-day ultra-endurance race—consisting of a 10km swim, 423km bike and 84km double marathon—tested not just her physical stamina but also her mental resilience.
"I struggled on Day 3, and it all came down to an epic finish," Uy recalled of her achievement, which took place from Feb. 14-16 in central Florida. "The entire crowd was waiting for me, pacing me through the final mile and cheering me on."
