You get fat. I have been out of training for two weeks now and I feel my fats coming back. I can feel my endurance spiraling down the drain. I am getting less and less interested in training. I need a goal. I need a quick fix.
I need to get back into training. Without a close race in the horizon, I am stuck without a good motivator for me to train. Continue reading
Ever since I took up swimming and biking, I have been seriously forgetting the need to run. I have been putting off running for so long now that the calluses on my feet are all gone. I have been putting off running for so long now that it somehow doesn’t feel natural for me anymore.
After a good month long break from running, I ran again last night but that same euphoric feeling that I experience every time I run wasn’t there anymore. Continue reading
Good luck guys! I will see you there next year. Savor the finish line! Jump. Rejoice. Enjoy the race. To get you all pumped, here some of the photos I took last year. See their happy faces at the finish line makes all the effort worth it!
She was extremely pleased to see the finish.
Walking up to transition area to set up and get body marked. As always, feelings of hurling my guts out were present. I was a good thing Tricia was there to calm my nerves.
Yoda and I at the finish line just before the race. Yoda is the Endure Mascot.
With the team and our patented Triangle Formation. Ellen, Pio, Rj, Me, and Tiff. I was glad they were there.
Me and my ugleh swim form. Bent knees and all.
Coming out of the pool for the first time. I look like a sea monster. I wish it was more than just looks and that I also swam like one. :( Getting out of the pool was the hardest. Had to do that a total of three times.
It was quite a run from the pool to transition area. I was lucky enough to bring a pair good fitting slippers.
I was out of T1 in a couple of minutes. I made sure I had my shades on so that I’ll look like a PRO. Oh yeah. That my friends is how you properly mount up to a bicycle.
I look happy. I finished the 20k bike at around 51 minutes. I am still slow. Thanks to the humps though, I have a reason for being slow.
Oh yeah. My second Triathlon is complete and here’s to hoping that I do more.
Thank you Tricia for coming! I love you! With out your support, I wouldn’t have finished the race.
