Pre-Race ActivitiesThursday - Leaving ManilaLonger vacation leave from officeLeaving as early as Thursday from Manila to Subic would mean a longer vacation leave from my office. Fortunately, my boss allowed me to do so. This is a vacation and a race, fully expense paid that is. What a treat! Thanks to Herbalife..We (Resty, Reva, Millet and myself) left Manila at around 10am. We were picked up by

With less than two weeks before my most anticipated race of the year, the Whiterock Long Distance Triathlon, i am up to my final preparations. I have been reading my Triathlete's Training Bible (Joe Friel) to make sure that i would not mess up my final preps. This is the time for taper (as i keep reminding myself). I have greatly reduced my daily training volume. Shorter workouts but still

I have been contemplating on this particular tri-gear...a chrono helmet..here it is..LOUIS GARNEAU ROCKET AIR HELMET 2008The New Louis Garneau Rocket Air Helmet has the aerodynamics of the 2007 model, but with much more ventilation. 2 new huge front vent inlets and 3 new large back vent outlets allow for maximum airflow and ventilation. Like the the original Rocket, it features a large fairing

After battling an "overtraining or over reaching" (whatever you call it) last week, i am happy to be back.Since last week, after my R&R period, i got what you so called symptoms of overtraining/overreaching. Feeling of apathy, comparatively high heart rate during resting periods, depression setting in, etc...It seems that my rests during the R&R was not enough.Recognizing the symptoms, so i have

When was the last time you felt a sense of awe over a picture?Look at this… And read its caption..“Monstrous waves that oftentimes creates a sound akin to thunder and produces a thud similar to gentle earthquake as it hits the breakwaters”Captions make the picture more illustrative...or even more poetic at that…can even make the picture more inspiring.But maybe you’ll say, “oh yeah, alright,

MINDFULNESS AND ATHLETIC EXCELLENCEThis essay originally appeared in the Summer 2007 issue of USA Triathlon Life.Consistent aerobic exercise promotes overall health – not just physical, but mental and emotional health as well. Our healthy multi-sport lifestyle is closely correlated to the mindfulness we develop during our training. Like aerobic capacity, our capacity for mindfulness enhances

Long Run…To prepare for the WRT (WhiteRock Triathlon), which will require a 20km run, a once a week long run, about 2 hours or 20km, is a necessity. It is a simulation of the distance that you will cover during the race.At least for the run leg.So, hard it is, but extremely important..I woke up at 4.50am. A little bit ahead of my cellphone alarm which was set last night at 5am.I immediately got

i just thought since my next goal after SuBIT (finishing Olympic Distance) would be WRT (Whiterock Triathlon), why not start a blog which will contain my so-called adventure towards WRT, my goal. The training that will entails to it will surely occupy me again for the next few months.Here's the details of the event that i'm hoping to finish, or say, survive.Excerpts from http://www.extribe.com.ph
