I have to re-adjust my training schedules due to an injury (sprained ankle on week 3) and Upper Respiratory Infection on Week 7. More or less a total of 3 weeks were consumed (without training of course) recovering from the said "mishaps".
But then again, tapos na yun...I got depressed for a time knowing that i am behind my training, but i got to move on..better late than never.

kaya pa yan!!!

WhiteRock Triathlon starts here!

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.

Swim Course...
The swim leg is a 2 km course at the beachfront of the White Rock Beach Resort into Subic Bay. The Greater Subic Tourism Bureau, together with the White Rock Resort and the local communities, assures eXtribe that efforts are going to be made to ensure the safety and cleanliness of the swim course. Features: anchored swim buoy lines, multi-loop course, jet-ski patrols, kayak guides.

Bike Course...
The 91-kilometer bike course will pass through several towns of Zambales, each with aid stations to provide water and/or medical aid, thanks to the support of the local government and the Zambales Department of Tourism Office. Traffic marshals will be deployed along the major intersections and critical areas. The road is flat and in excellent condition. Efforts will be made to free the highway of traffic and hazards. Features: flat and smooth road, police motorcycle escort, aid stations at strategic locations, medical support and ambulance, and a 45-km turn-around station (supplied with isotonic drinks, bananas, ice and water, equipped with toilet facilities, medical aid and special needs bags).

Run Course ...
The run course is 20 kilometers long and will enter the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, allowing for much improvement of the racecourse, in terms of traffic flow, pollution control and logistical support. A notoriously difficult portion of the racecourse—what we have come to call as "Heartbreak Hills"—will still be retained from last year's WRT. Features: Rolling course, water stations every 2.5 km (supplied with isotonic drinks, ice and water), sponging stations in between water stations, and a run turn-around station (supplied with isotonic drinks, bananas, ice and water, equipped with toilet facilities, medical aid and special needs bags).



SO HERE IT IS!!...Surely,this is one hell of a challenge..I will be relying (trust) on my training and my training program. i am now on my Base 1 R&R week.Base 2 will be next.

11 weeks left till Race Day!!!...
