My Bike Trainer Workout
These are some of my indoor cycling workout. I ride outdoors most of the time and trainer is just a supplemental tool for those days I can’t ride outside.
Beinte Beinte Cycling Race
Weekend local cycling race using GoPro Hero 8. 5 kilometers x 4 loops = 20K of Cycling FUN 😊🚴🏻♀️🚴🏻♀️🚴🏻♀️
What Happened In 2019
2019 Memories
When you’re 50, you’re OLD 😊
One of the most embarrassing start in triathlon happened at the starting line of National Age Group Triathlon, 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 ‘hearing’ 😅 hahaha. The organizers didn’t 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.
My Daily Collagen Triathlon 1.5K - 40K - 10K = 2 hours 42 minutes
I had a slow bike ride but quite happy to get the 3rd spot because in all honesty I wouldn’t be able to catch the 2 guys in front of me no matter what. There are guys just way faster than me.
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.
I injured my toe coming into the water with only 2 seconds into the race 😅. 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 😅. 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.

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 😅. 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 🏊🏻♀️🚴🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️😊. Please check out my 5150 Video on YouTube you might enjoy it.
Bente Bente Road Races - 20K
It’s really hard to describe what’s happening during races like this but I promise to make a YouTube Video regarding this very same road race in 2020, with me as the back-marker 😂. I already stopped running since June 2019 so I’m looking for cycling events to join in future races.
I started a YouTube Channel, please check out the videos in the coming days. I can’t run so I can’t do triathlon meaning maybe I’ll have time to do some YouTube stuff.
GoPro Hero 8 Road Bike Training
I am starting a YouTube Channel - Please subscribe for more videos.
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.

Road To IM Instagram Posts #roadtoIM
These are some of my Instagram posts prior to Ironman Philippines to motivate myself during training.
26K morning ride - photo taken on Heros’ Lane. Felt some tightness at the back of my left knee but generally felt good on my way to #NAGT except for the swimmmm of course #notoswimming #triathlon #roadtoIM #day8
I wouldn’t normally swim in cold waters but #NAGT is fast approaching and ME 😅 scared of the first leg, something’s got to give 🧜♀️🚴♀️🏃♂️ #triathlon #notoswimming #roadtoIM #day11
Blessed with a light drizzle, am wearing 3 layers and a bonnet running at a community park. Next week will be the #start of my 20 week training program for #IMsubic but first lezgetiton #NAGT #notoswimming #triathlon #purotri
Getting my feet wet....... again brrrrr #notoswimming #triathlon #roadtoIM #day15 🧜♀️🚴♀️🏃♀️💪🏻
When you only have time for a late night run 🌙 it took me almost 2 hours what most normal runners would finish in 1 hour 😅 at least I’m glad to have a workout... a very slow workout... 😊🏃♂️ #notoswimming #triathlon #pinoytriathlon #roadtoIM
As I was doing my usual long ride 10 days before an event something bizarre happened... I got hit by a truck and ended in a hospital 🚴♀️😰 the bike isn’t ok but the x rays are negative #triathlon #notoswimming #DNS
National Age Group Triathlon medal #triathlon #finisher
First training ride since the accident. I’m still pedaling, mileage would probably be around 55K. Just admiring the rice field in today’s route. 🚴♀️ #notorunning #roadtoim #triathlon
Friday training ride: my supposed 120K ride was cut short to 65K by a sudden lack of interest due to laziness 😅 but still a very fruitful morning ride #hello #triathlon #roadtoim #notorunning #notoswimming
Felt more comfortable in the water than last month. No intervals yet but I’m getting there 🤗 ... hoping for a much better swim in April #triathlon #subit #roadtoim #notoswimming
Today’s turn around point; a church in a remote village. #triathlon #roadtoim #notoswimming #subit
90K ride on a sunny day outside the city. Prepping for an IM makes my skin DRY 😅 happy training! 🚴♂️ #triathlon #notoswimming #roadtoim #pinoytriathlon
One sunny morning - view from my swim training venue. My pink bike deserves a ‘color’ post 😅 #triathlon #notoswimming #roadtoim #pinoytriathlon
Having an upset stomach throughout the week meant I have to change my workout goals and alter my bike routes to a shorter distance from home or TOILET 😅 #triathlon #notoswimming #roadtoironman #pinoytriathlon
A short and relaxing ride still within the bounds of my city. Recovering happily from yesterday’s long run 😊 #triathlon #roadtoironman #pinoytriathlon
Red Soil Sauna - having aching muscles on my chest and upper back means 😉 some spa time #triathlon #roadtoironman #recovery #pinoytriathlon
Back on the saddle - just happy to have my neck 🤣 back in its healthy state, I’ve ridden my roadie for just 40K as a precaution #triathlon #roadtoironman #stiffneck #pinoytriathlon #cityride
This happened on Good Friday - visited 7 churches with my roadie as part of an annual tradition 🤗 #roadtoironman #triathlon #pinoytriathlon
Off the beaten path - as I took a rest on my 90K ride I stumbled upon this nice looking pathway 😊 #roadtoironman #triathlon #pinoytriathlon #mtbcourse #hardpack
Biking near the seaport is such a relaxing ride. Fresh air of the sea breeze await. Four days before Subic International Triathlon and I’m just excited to test my gains in training for an IM. #roadtoironman #triathlon #bike #pinoytriathlon
Transition 1 - bike check in at T1, wasn’t expecting it to be a short line but I guess the timing of IM Subic this coming June has to do with it #triathlon #roadtoironman#t1 #enjoytherace #pinoytriathlon
Almost but not quite... 2:39 is all I got after a horrific swim, just seconds off of a podium finish actually but gained some knowledge on the bike leg which I can use in future races. Exceeded my expectations and happy to have raced here 😉 #SuBIT #roadtoironman #triathlon
Short morning stroll with my Brompton - checking the riverside where a new bridge is being built... I just finished most of my training goals with still a month before Ironman Subic Bay #brompton #roadtoironman #triathlon #chillax
Morning run on a really hot day 😅 saw this on kilometer 7, can’t wait for IM day June 3 MOOOO #roadtoironman #triathlon #jogging
2 weeks before Ironman PH 😊 I think I could rest now and wait for race day with less mileage and more foooood... and of course fewer super hot days like this #roadtoIRONMAN #triathlon
Final workout for Ironman PH, a 1.2K swim before packing my gears and stuff. I think IMready 😊 #ironman #raceweek #triathlon
