- Touchdown Singapore!
The hubby, kids, and I are in Singapore right now for a much needed, and may I say, well-deserved vacation. I’m looking forward to 4 full days of rest, relaxation, and shopping. (Honestly, the only item on my list are bike jerseys!) We arrived this morning and headed straight for Universal Studios. – Soaked after [...]
- Tri United 1: Done!
“The miracle isn’t that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.” – John Bingham Woohoo! I finished Tri United 1 yesterday! It was a 1k swim – 30k bike – 7k run, a distance that may seem short to experienced triathletes, but daunting to this newbie. I’m writing to you [...]
- Pre-Race Prayer of a Beginner Triathlete
Dear Lord, Tomorrow is the big day: Tri United 1 at Laiya, Batangas. It feels like my first triathlon since I’ve really only done two mini sprints way back in 2008 and 2009. Oh God, this is the first time I’m joining a triathlon in open water, first time I’m going out of town for [...]

J-Lo, along with other celebrities such as Matthew McConaughey, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Felicity Huffman joined the celebrity competition of the Nautica Malibu Triathlon last Sept. 14. – Ladies, who wants to stand [...]
- Animo Triathlon Results
Results of the Animo triathlon are out. No big surprise here, I had a fairly clear idea of my performance… I was 8th out of 17 women. Not bad for a first timer who was enjoying herself throughout the race. It felt good to know that the 1st and 2nd placers were teenagers—no way I [...]
- Animo Triathlon – My First Tri
I came, I swam, biked and ran, and…I conquered! As I type these words in the comfort of my own home, I can’t even believe I had just finished my first triathlon early this morning. Was that really me? You mean I managed to finish the race without drowning or clinging on to the lane [...]
- The Search for a Tri Suit
By now you should know that when I set my sights on something—be it a marathon or an antidote to shin splints—I can get pretty obsessive about it. The upcoming Animo tri was not an exception. With my training in running, biking, and swimming (more emphasis on the swim portion to avoid potentially embarrassing incidents [...]
- Monday Morning Blues
I usually sing (or more like yell) “Oh what a beautiful morning!” in the car as I drive my kids to school on weekdays. My son rolls his eyes while my daughter, fortunately or unfortunately for her, stays dozed off in the backseat of the car. Today, however, my children didn’t get any of mom’s [...]
