FastTwitch Super Enduro Duathlon 2024 - My opening race for the year. This is not your typical run-bike-run. It’s made of 7 splits: run, bike, run, bike, run, bike, run. 2.5kms for every run and 15kms for every bike, totalling up to 10kms run and 45kms bike. It actually sounds short - individually, a 2.5km run and a 15km bike sounds easy peesy.

The constant transitions make this one very challenging though. Just when your muscles are getting acclimated to the bike or run, you have to transition again. It’s this “fast twitching” that made it really taxing. At the 5th split (3rd run), I started cramping - quads and calves. As much as I wanted to maintain my good pace, I had to dial back to prevent full on cramps. I can’t go full on send, but I can’t stop. I had to endure and fight the cramps. My cardio was tiptop though 👌🏼.

Crossed the finish line happy, not only because it was finally over, but of course it was also a moment of pride. I’m not exactly as healthy and atlethic, but I’m proud I can pull off something like this.

Congratulations GoClark Sports & Events for another successful event. Looking forward to the upcoming races this year, and beyond.

Thank you as usual Coach Vanessa Redgrave Agdon (pinaytri) and the PNYTribe fam for guiding me through this journey. Here’s to more safe race mileage to come! 🎉

Gone through 2.5km run, 15km bike, 2.5km run, 15km bike, 2.5km run, 15km bike, and 2.5km run to cross the finish line and grab some beer. Worth it? Worth it!!!

Bumili ako ng isang set ng bagong brief kesa bumili ng bagong pyesa ng bike.

Di nako tunay na siklista.

A not so lazy, lazy ride.

04/12/2023

Last weekend's Audax concludes my 2023 racing season. As I was racking up my last medal for the year, I can't help but be amazed by how far I've come from being a weekend cyclist to collecting race medals.

Material wise, medals are just metals and laces. Prone to corrosion, collects dust, and very tricky to store or display. In many ways, it is really an inconvenience. They are just stuff with no functional purpose.

But like many things, medals tell a story - and those stories aren't just about doing a race, crossing the finish line, and then getting a medal. Earning a medal starts way before that...

The discipline to train.
The time you have to sacrifice juggling work, family, training - etc.
The days when you think nothing is worth it.
The injuries.
The small wins in between.
The money you have to spend.
The physical and mental fortitude you are required to have to carry on.
Deep inside I know I wouldn't get a podium or a top finish, but I do it anyway.

All for a dust collecting piece of metal.

But collectively, these medals are a celebration for the gift of movement, the gift of wellness and health, and of course, of financial capability. These medals represent life being lived fully - and a reminder that we are capable of doing things that we think we are scared of. It's a reminder to be proud and be humble at the same time. A life of balance.

Of course, I wouldn't have done this alone. First of all, The Divine Architect who always let circumstances fall perfectly into place - reminding us that we are always still on the right track. To my family who has been understanding of the process. Ultimately, all these things I do for them. I want to be healthy and strong for as long as possible, so I can celebrate life with them. It's always a sigh of relief when I cross a finish line because I know I can go home to my family.

Of course, to my coach pinaytri and my ever fun and supportive tribemates and new found friends at PNYTribe. Thank you so much for guiding me through this journey. With these medals now, I can do the "haplos method". Haha!

So that being said, I'm excited to collect more medals and stories for 2024 and beyond!

Stay safe and healthy nibs!
