We thought we couldn't join but I guess we were lucky to show up ready albeit hesitant. She looked struggling during the first run and she had her ankle taped before the second run. Jamyka had only one day to practice the clip on aero bar before the race but had a strong performance despite cramping in the first few kilometers. Congratulations to these two wonderful girls for displaying grit and determination. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Most weeks are designed to consume less than 8 hours.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">To maximize your time, try to run right after swimming on or from the same venue if possible. Mind your nutrition. I usually eat light before a workout and eat more after the session. ENJOY! ππ»ββοΈπ΄π»ββοΈππ»ββοΈ #triathon #training #12weeks</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Train within your aerobic range. If you want to go faster on your workout do it in the upper range of your aerobic capacity but not going anaerobic. Low heart rate training doesnβt mean slow. In time youβll be able to swim, bike, and run faster. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Always start really easy and gradually build up the pace. Remember to focus on your swimming technique particularly on your feel for the water. Learn to pace properly on the bike and get your nutrition right. Be patient on the run, wear proper shoes and prepare yourself for some heat training.

One of the most embarrassing start in triathlon happened at the starting line of <a href="https://www.pinoytriathlon.com/2019/10/national-age-group-triathlon-2019-subic.html" target="_blank">National Age Group Triathlon</a>, while waiting for the gun start I thought I heard the start gun go off so I ran hurriedly to the sea, no one followed me... because it was just a figment of my βhearingβ π
hahaha. The organizers didnβt even have a start gun all they had was a horn. I walked back towards the start line as soon as I knew what just happened. Pffft.</div>

I had a slow bike ride but quite happy to get the 3rd spot because in all honesty I wouldnβt be able to catch the 2 guys in front of me no matter what. There are guys just way faster than me.</div>

I had an average swim, a good ride and a great run for a total time of 2 hours 38 minutes good for 1st place. It was a nice event but the medal looked cheap just as the previous SuBIT events.</div>

I injured my toe coming into the water with only 2 seconds into the race π
. The timing chip was dangling from my ankle and had to stop in the middle of the swim course. I had it replaced in T1 but so much time was lost and I lost it mentally π
. Enjoyed the bike course though and suffered on the run. A well organized event from the IM tent to the finish line and awarding ceremonies. Truly world class.</div>

By this time , October 2019, I was 5 months removed from running due to an injury but because I already paid for the event I decided to still join π
. I was still leading with only 5 kilometers left on the run but my lack of running prevented me from pushing harder. I stopped to take a rest and finished in 2nd place, a very relieved and happy 2nd place finisher ππ»ββοΈπ΄π»ββοΈππ»ββοΈπ. Please check out my 5150 Video on YouTube you might enjoy it.</div>

I injured my toe going into the water at around... 2 seconds into the swim π
. My swim pace was above average, I was feeling great until the time when the timing chip was falling off my ankle. I spent quite some time fixing the chip in the open water but later removed it from my ankle and inserted it inside my trunks. Inside the transition area I went looking for someone to help me fix the strap of the chip but it seemed no one knew where I should go. After about 5 minutes I found the man who could fix my strap, he gave me a new chip π but later found out after the race that it added some 3 minutes in my total time. The incident affected me mentally because I was trying to finish in 5 hours 40 minutes and my margin for error was almost zero. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bike leg went uneventful which was fine as I was simply enjoying and admiring the surrounding of the bike course. The bike leg always reminded me of the beauty of triathlon venues and how blessed I am participating in this kind of event. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The run leg isnβt much hotter than the preceding years but I wasnβt prepared to run in general. I think the event was a huge success simply by moving the swim location to a different place. So what do you think was the biggest take from this event? Tadaa.... it was announced that there would be an Ironman race in 2020! - 226 kilometers of fun ππ»ββοΈπ΄π»ββοΈππ»ββοΈπ

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">This is a road bike test of my new GoPro Hero 8. I mounted it on the left aero bar. I was originally planning to use a chest harness for mounting the GoPro but the nature of riding in an aero position prevented me from using it. Before I stopped running on June 2019, cycling was my weakest part in triathlon. If you are new to triathlon or cycling be patient enough to wait for the time when you'll get fast. You will get stronger as the years of training pile up. It is quite difficult to become a strong cyclist because it really takes time to train, something that most of us do not have but if you enjoy cycling activity enough you are giving yourself a tremendous chance to improve and enjoy triathlon.</span><br />

This is what I experienced on October 26-27, 2019. I havenβt been run training for the past 5 months but really glad to finish in 2 hours 44 minutes. This could well be my last standard distance race as I feel I wouldnβt be able to train for the run with my current condition. I may try sprint distances in the future though.</span><br />

Road Bike Again<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Why did I buy a road bike and not a tri bike?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In all of my racing events I've never used a time trial bike or a tri bike. I knew that tri bikes were more aero and the rider position was best for triathlon especially the non UCI compliant bikes. Tri bikes were simply FAST, period. Contemplating on buying a new bike as a reward to myself for finishing an Ironman event, it was never a hard choice between a road bike and a tri bike. I knew that I could go faster on a tri bike in non drafting races and for that reason alone I considered it but still I wanted to have a new road bike instead of a tri bike and here's the reason: STI levers. I always ride out with my bike and the safety and comfort of having both the brakes and shifters right at my fingertips was a pure joy. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>Giant TCR Advanced 1 KOM - snappy</i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I bought a Giant TCR Advanced 1 KOM a week after IMPH. I replaced the wheels with Vision Metron 55, the tires with Continental GP4000s II 25c and the KOM cogs with 11-28. This bike handles really well, it looks cool, it feels fast but it actually isn't faster than my old aluminum bike. It corners predictably and brakes smoothly surprisingly better than my alloy rim Shimano Dura Ace wheelset. Giant TCR Advanced 1 KOM is a highly recommended bike in my opinion.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This bike is a lucky one for me; in it's first four events I finished first place twice (National Age Group and Subic Bay International), second place once (Niyogyugan Tri), and third place once (My Daily Collagen Tri).

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This was the race I had been preparing for since January 2018. This was the reason why I was doing long runs, long swims and a couple of long rides. This race made me run long like I really needed to run, made me enjoy long hours on the saddle like a young cyclist and made me swim <i>longish</i> until my hands got wrinkly. As far as I can remember there were only two races where I trained with long runs and those were marathons. I like biking but was never really one to put crazy miles in a weekβs ride. I can swim but I just did it for the sake of joining events. So my training for an Ironman, born out of necessity, was a bit off my comfort zone but I had the time to prepare and prepare I did.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For such a momentous race for myself it was almost unbelievable and hilarious that I almost got late to the venue. The moment I arrived at ACEA there was I think just 10 minutes before the organizers would close the transition area. Everything was a blur, running back and forth inside the transition area preparing gears and street bag.</span><br />

Everything was turning out as planned so far. After the swim I changed clothes inside a tent before going inside transition 1.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">After just a few kilometers on the bike, I felt I had to poop so the first portalet at around 15 kilometers was a jackpot. I spent some time there and what I remembered was it was too hot inside and looking at my watch I thought I still had a lot of time to get inside transition 2 at around 3:10 P.M. as planned. I had a multipurpose tape around my drop bar with the expected time splits for the turnaround and some aid stations. I was happily hitting the target times at almost every time check. At around 70 kilometers I saw in front of me the rain we were about to hit so I grabbed my rain jacket from my belt bag and wore it. I looked like a clown but cold is the enemy and I was prepared for it. With a flappy jacket my speed dropped by almost 5 kilometers per hour, it was a bummer but I was still hitting my time checks with ease. I did eat twice on different pit stops, sausage and Hopia never tasted that good. When youβre hungry it doubles the pleasure of eating I guess. Because I wasnβt feeling particularly warm enough after the rain I was still wearing the jacket long after the rain stopped. With almost 160 kilometers done I changed clothes again, this time it was a very loose red sleeveless running shirt. The last 20 kilometers saw me making the sign of the cross praying not to have mechanical problems. At 2:59 P.M. I arrived at transition 2 eleven minutes earlier than planned.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Inside transition 2 I took the time to pour water unto myself as if taking a shower. As refreshing as it may sound it was still 3 P.M., with the sun up on a clear sky. I changed attire once again, this time I wore walking shorts and an orange sleeveless shirt, I didnβt look like someone doing an Ironman but believe me this was how I dressed during training so this was nothing new to me. I love pockets on my pants and walking shorts were comfortable to me so I ran and rode with my casual walking shorts when I went out to train.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The run leg started with my usual routine, a trip to the nearest portalet for a second poop of the day. Looking at a very dirty portalet I would find myself venturing to a gas station. It was a success but it really took too long. I was surprised that my legs were holding up just fine throughout the run. I changed clothes again on Special Needs station wearing a red New Balance T shirt and again for the Nth time on my last trip to the Special Needs station wearing a red Nike T shirt. I still have a fresh shirt inside my rear pocket just in case I would change shirt again. The provided nutrition on aid stations EVERY ONE KILOMETER saved my day... and night. I drank cola, Gatorade and ate bananas. The last four kilometers were the longest 4 kilometers of my running life. At 40K everyone would pass by the finishing venue with still 2K to go. I had 2K left to run, some 12 minutes to cherish what I am about to accomplish and a lot of time to change clothes again for my finishing photo but all sorts of things kept coming inside my head that I forgot to wear my fitted muscle shirt. It was 8:21 PM when I crossed the finish line, 13 hours and 46 minutes to glory. If youβve read this far, thank you so much for dropping by.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Ironman Philippines was a huge success for the organizers. They brought in the full distance triathlon with so much care for the participants. The aid stations for the run leg alone were eleven on a 2 loop course which gave us approximately one station for every kilometer. And to top that off, every aid station was manned by triathlon teams who volunteered to help and cheer us. Amazing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once upon a time in Hawaii, three triathletes had a jog as a sort of lighthearted protest to decrease the number of triathletes who unknowingly offend the sensibilities of the islanders by wearing Speedos - skimpy old style Speedo trunks yey hahaha.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For the inaugural 2018 Ironman Philippines we had 3K Underpants Run presented by Century Tuna.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Aside from running in only my red underpants, I got to meet my long lost cousin based in the USA. A few participants wore costumes, some wore underpants and many wore shorts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We gathered just outside the convention center for a few minutes before they signaled us to run. There was a prize for the first finisher and everybody owned a nice black finisher shirt after the short and fast jog. It was no surprise that every runner looked very fit and fast unlike any other fun runs I joined.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was glad I did this, it was both fun and liberating. The experience and the freebies were good enough reasons to try this race a day before the Big Race. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">April 22, 2018 Sunday Morning</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1.5K - 40K - 10K</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This race was part of my road to Ironman Philippines 2018. I got to swim in open water and had a look at my progress in cycling and running. By this time the color of my skin was pretty dark, a sign of training perhaps? I couldn't remember a time when I was more prepared than this race, I just didn't know if I can execute properly on race day.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a horrible swim but I didn't know how I had a poor swim, I thought with my effort in the sea I'd be somewhere in front. Maybe because of poor sighting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bike leg was awesome. I was flying by my own standard. Not super fast but definitely well above my past experiences on a course like that. Stickman was all smiles with the way the cycling went.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The run course was flat and I think it really helped with the time result. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Total time was 2:39. My legs felt fine even after I pushed it on the bike. Suddenly </span><span>after years of joining races, </span><span>it seemed I was learning how to bike ;) .</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was one thing I observed during the event; participants seemed fewer than the last few times I joined this. Maybe I was wrong but it just felt that way to me.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The first thing I knew about Ironman
training is that TIME is most essential. Time to train, time to recover, time for family and friends, time to work. For the 2018 Ironman
Philippines I knew that I can schedule my workouts, particularly the long ones,
and still be able to handle everything else comfortably. I simply had the luxury of time.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My last swim
was some 6 months ago during a 5150 Event hence swimming is the first order of
business in preparation for my upcoming National Age Group Triathlon on the
last Sunday of January 2018. For 2 weeks I swam and swam and swam, biked a
little, and ran a little. When NAGT 2018 arrived, surprisingly I did well on
the swim leg but suffered on the bike and run. I was more than 20
minutes off of my usual finish time. It was a revelation of my current fitness
form and a good barometer in planning my succeeding training going forward to
IMPH. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">After NAGT I
had to rest my aching body. My Achilles tendon was so sore and calves were
aching. I had to rest, and rest for 10 days I did. I resumed my general body
conditioning with light workouts on the swim and run, and some short but
serious hammering on the bike. I thought speed workouts on my
bike would give me better speed early and worry with my endurance later on.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In the middle of
February 2018 I committed to improve my running endurance. For someone who
never runs long during training this was probably the hardest part for me. I
ran 3 times a week and all of them LONG. I discovered myself running long and
not breaking apart. I was determined to have my running legs as early as Subic Bay International Triathlon 2018 which was about 6 weeks before IMPH. My bike training was also gathering
serious weekly mileage going into SuBIT 2018 but never reached a hundred kilometers
in a single ride. By the time SuBIT 2018 came on April 22, with still 6
weeks to go before IMPH, my running legs felt ready for a marathon. No aches
were felt after the race but the thing that really pleased me was my speed on
the bike. I was and still am a slow biker but a slight bump up on my average
speed was an unexpected outcome of my training. I averaged 33 kilometers per
hour. This may not be fast to a lot of triathletes but it surely was above my
past records.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">With my running legs
seemingly ready, I shifted my focus on my time on the saddle. I had 4 rides
that went north of 100 kilometers including a 150K ride with just 12 days to
go. I heard a lot of advice about getting as much as 6 rides of 150K or more
before the race but never listened anyway. It might surprise anyone to know
that there was not a single brick workout all throughout my training as in
Nada, Zip, Wala. Leg strength workouts such as leg raise supplemented my muscle
endurance training. I firmly believed that when the race comes nearer I would
eventually concentrate on bike and swim workouts out of panic; this was my
underlying reason behind building strong running legs earlier than most
training plans would offer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

after a test ride of 150 kilometers on a Tuesday morning. Had massages, lots of

night runs to condition my body for those hours when Iβll most likely run if
ever Iβd be lucky enough to still be on the course at night. My final workout
was a 1.2K swim at 6pm on a Thursday night before packing my gears for travel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In hindsight, would I do it again this
way? Well, if it would work on race day chances are I'd stick to it. The simplicity of the plan which beckoned to run more early
on and bike more as the event nears is probably more comfortable on my fragile
body. It may not suit most IM aspirants but I would definitely recommend
running endurance to be at the top of the list because on race day we would all
be exercising caution on the bike leg anyway no matter how fit we are on the
bike.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I considered this race as the start of my training for Ironman Philippines. I haven't been swimming for 6 months and this would be a barometer of sorts to gauge my fitness so I can better plan my training. Surprisingly I wasn't that bad in the swim leg but suffered mightily on the bike and run legs. I have a loooong way to go before becoming IMready.</span></span><br />
