Road to ASTC Asian Triathlon Championships

Six days to go until SuBIT/ASTC Asian Triathlon Championships! This will be my second Olympic distance triathlon ever, and will be my first triathlon of the year.

Before I go into how I’ve prepared for this, here are some race reminders and announcements:

  • The Age Group Sprint has been moved to April 28 (Sunday) 6am to reduce the number of wave starts on Saturday.
  • Race briefing for Age Group Sprint and Standard Distance will be at Harbor Point Mall at 5pm, April 27. Dinner will be served after the briefing.
  • Bare torso swimming will NOT be allowed.
  • The approach to Dungaree from the Airport will be closed. Pass through the NCT Road, All Hands Beach side.
  • Please check out the course maps for your information.
  • Verify your information on the start list.

Aside from putting in all the swim, bike, and run training, it’s always a good idea to recon the course. Since I’m the only one in Team Endure doing the race, I joined Raymond Racaza of Run.PH and “Kuya” Kim Atienza on their recon yesterday.

It’s Raymond’s first standard-distance triathlon (his first tri was the XTERRA Lite offroad triathlon), and this is Kim’s second time around on the SuBIT course. read more »

Outbreak BGC 2 on April 13: Race Update

The country’s biggest zombie run is back again this year with Outbreak BGC 2 on April 13, 2013.

I hate zombies. I mean, I’m scared stiff of them (pun intended). I once had this nightmare I was driving a car, and as I passed a bystander at a stoplight, they smashed their head against the windshield and all of a sudden, zombies were all over the car. AAAAAAH!

Given that I have no fighting skills whatsoever, my best defense is to run from them. And like I said in 8 Reasons Why Running is Badass, if the zombie apocalypse ever comes upon us, the slowest person gets eaten first. (Better get some speedwork in.) read more »

Globe Cordillera Challenge on May 4

The Globe Cordillera Challenge is a bike ride to raise funds for reforestation of the Cordilleras. This year’s target is 30 seedling nurseries. The NGO partner Cordillera Conservation Trust builds roots-and-shoots nurseries in the Cordilleras in partnership with communities to teach them how to conserve and replenish their forests. This also helps enhance the community watershed and prevents landslides.

This is the fourth edition of the Cordillera Challenge, read more »
