By ANN CHARMAINE AQUINO

 

Isang achievement outside her showbiz career ang nasungkit ni Iya Villania. Ito ay nang nanalo si Iya sa Tri United 2015 last March 1 in Subic.

 

Sa kanyang nakaraang panayam, ibinahagi ni Iya na ang kanyang asawa na si Drew Arellano ang kanyang naging inspirasyon sa pagsali sa triathlon. At mula noon, nahilig na rin siya sa sport na ito.

 

Sa kanyang Instagram post, ipinakita ni Iya ang mga medals na nakuha niya sa nasabing triathlon. Hindi maitago ni Mrs. Arellano ang kanyang saya sa bagong achievement.

 

"What a breakthrough!

"This was me last week! My "I did it!" face right after crossing the finish! Having the motivation to pursue our passion is what makes us #SUPERWOMEN. Although I’m lucky to be married to a supportive tri-guy, proving to myself that I can do it is what gets me going!"
