My 1st Duathlon for 2019

I was at the wrong race in the right time. But nevertheless Congratulations to everyone who battled it out the the 1st leg of the Pilipinas Duathlon event at Clark Pampanga. I mean, this race was easy but all the participants are categorized as Elite/Professionals and I believe this race is not for novice & plus sized athletes like me. Remind me not to join again in the near future and make the right decision to join the perfect race.

But for the sake of this blog, here are some photos of the run and bike course. This race was held at the Acacia Lane besides Quest Hotel inside Clark, Pampanga with almost 400 participants.

Run 2

Luckily we frequently cycled in this place so we knew most of the bike course and it's surprising elevation profiles!

As far as I am concerned, my time was aaaaayyyytttt but I was the sweeper in this game so you guys do the math :)

Well, I have trained for weeks and it was successful. No DNFs & DNS this time.

In the end, a finish is a finish! New balance is the weapon of choice, no Hokas this time! And to close this blog, my usual battle cry ... #MayAsimPa !!!
