Official results of Animo Triathlon are out.

I placed 2nd overall out of 27 women.

What does it tell me?  Swim was good.  Run was great.  Bike…err…needs improvement.  

– Top 10 Female Mini Sprint Results –

From now until the end of July, each weekend is booked with not just a race, but a good race.  Just check out my list of races.  

My running conscience has been tapping me on the shoulder, telling me to take it easy and not get overly excited again, but I can’t help it!  Race organizers nowadays always have something new to offer, so I end up spending Mondays to Fridays scratching my head thinking “Should I?” or “Shouldn’t I?”  9 out of 10 times, I give in.

Here’s my racing schedule from now until the end of July (my race schedule is subject to change depending on my mood):

• June 14: Animo Triathlon.  Too bad I can’t make it to PTAA Charity Run.  I still registered for PTAA earlier today though and I’m crossing my fingers I win the roundtrip ticket to Honolulu.  (Yes, you can win the raffle even if you don’t run.)  If I win that, I would take it as a sign that I should run the Maui Marathon!


– Bumped into the CougCat Family (Arnold, Thess, and Anton, The Leaping Cat) this afternoon as we all registered for PTAA Charity  –

• June 21: Men’s Health, easy pace
• June 28: Botak or GIG…still choosing
• July 5: Milo…10 or half, still choosing, definitely it will be easy pace
• July 12: Robinson’s Fit & Fun, 10k
• July 19: SECRET BIG RACE…I’m super excited for this.  Blocking off my sched for this one.  I highly recommend you do the same.  This race by Finish Line will be in a new route and will have a lot of new offerings for runners.  Wish I could tell you, but I have to zip my mouth until Tuesday.
• July 26: Come Run with M.E…of course I’ll join a race organized by my alma mater!

How about you?  What’re you’re plans for the next month and a half?  I’m guessing it’s as busy as mine.

RACE DAY – January 10, 2010

Get ready to BEAT YOUR TIME!!! 

Mizuno pulled out all the stops for the Mizuno Infinity Run held at 5:30 a.m. this morning.  If you were among the many runners who participated in the event, you were in for a big surprise, which was revealed soon after you crossed the finish line!  

You did not know that your performance today would be somewhat of a time trial, did you?  Your time today will be compared with the surprise Mizuno race scheduled for 01.10.10.  Mizuno kept it top secret to prevent runners from sandbagging their event.

In the second race, winners will be chosen based on their personal improvement from today’s race.  The great thing about this is that it levels out the playing field for everyone—runners who show significant improvements from their old time in their categories have a chance to win!  With this double racing event, Mizuno aims to send out the message that we must all try to be the best that we can be.

I’m sure you have a lot of questions.  Details will be provided by Mizuno and will be posted here.  

Congratulations to Mizuno for thinking out of the box and giving us runners another great race to look forward to—and train hard for!  I can hardly wait!

Another trail run…

This one is organized by Coach Rio and Vince of Finish Line.
