POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This year, I took a leap of faith. I left a stable job to pursue my passion for fitness and help people live healthier lives. I’m still learning, still growing, and still figuring things out. This is just the beginning.

With everything going on, I decided to pause triathlon races and focus on building my foundations. But I never stopped swimming because I found freedom and peace in it.

This year, I challenged myself to swim 5km. And somehow, the experience reminded me so much of life.

We may have the same goal, but we all have different pacing and ways of navigating the journey. Kahit sa parehong dagat ka nag-training, the currents and conditions will never be exactly the same.

During the race, sobrang hapdi ng ilong at mata ko dahil sa tubig alat. I was literally crying and screaming in the sea. I could see the island, but I felt so slow, like I wasn’t moving forward. I almost gave up and kept telling myself, “Hindi ko na ’to uulitin. Kalokohan.” 😂

And every time I sighted the island, I would see other swimmers ahead of me. I felt the pressure to swim faster because I felt like I was being left behind. But the more I forced myself to catch up, the harder it became.

Eventually, I let go.

During the last 2km, I found myself swimming alongside a guy named June. Having him swim beside me gave me comfort, and somehow, I found it more bearable to keep going.

I’m glad I didn’t give up. Funny enough, I wanted to quit during the race, but now I’m already thinking about the next one. 😂

Maybe that’s the thing about having a goal. You know your WHY, but that doesn’t mean the journey will be easy. There will be moments when you feel stuck, when you question yourself, and when everyone else seems to be moving faster than you.

But maybe you just have to stop comparing, find your own rhythm, and keep moving forward.

And when the waves get too difficult to navigate, remember that you don’t always have to do it alone. Find your June (I was not able to get his IG na after the race but hey June, if you see this post, thank you. Congrats to us!)

Remember, one stroke at a time until you finally reach your other shore. 🌊

I am struggling with body dysmorphia right now. It took me awhile to think if I should delete this awesome video sent to me by my friend Arto.

Growing up from the 80s, you cant help it. We were surrounded by billboards, magazine and mtv telling us what size we should be.

So I am posting this video of me so our girls grow up seeing and normalizing different shapely bodies in social media. Pls help spread the word ladies!

Ladies remember:
Your bmi, body fat % or your age doesn’t define your bodies capabilities.

VIA TRIES: My Multisport Diaries 🏊🏻‍♀️ Ep 14

Day 1 of swimming is about to be posted… and let me tell you, it’s NOT cool. 😂 I don’t look cool, I don’t feel cool, and honestly, I barely know what I’m doing. 😂

But isn’t that the whole point of my VIA TRIES: My Multisport Diaries?

To show the progress. To show the awkward beginnings. To remind myself that taking that first step is already a win.

And that’s why there’s also a coach to encourage, guide, correct, and share all there is to know along the way. Because we don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Because imagine… if Day 1 looks like this, what could Day 100 look like if I just stay consistent? 🥹🏊🏻‍♀️

First day to someday. Thank you and labyu coach @pinaytri

Here’s to starting before you’re ready, looking uncool, and showing up anyway. 💙

Titan 77.7 Race Recap | 21kms Run +900m Transition 🫠

I was soooo relieved I just tackled 102kms of brutal hills without making the morning knee angry. I wanted to celebrate because I do think I had enough time to stroll the next hot and hilly 21kms.

I have been training the past two months for cold weather so being here in this heat was a challenge. I was glad it was a bit cloudy for a while but then the sun changed its mind. After all nga naman, it wouldn’t be #ToughestDuathloninAsia if it was a cloudy day. So I made sure not to blow up during this hot weather. I had fun cheering and chatting with other participants.

Ang daming ganap.
First I saw my athlete carried by a medic but he assured me it was his call. Then at about 4kms in, I had quite a fright when I saw one of my athletes crying her eyes out sitting on the grass. Took some time to release her cramps sent her on her way. Told her to just finish off her loop. Glad she did. I love chatting with another participant and seeing two butterflies following him. He pointed it was his parents who both passed last September.

It was really a beautiful day. In the midst of the pain, chafing and cramping; sharing the moments with others was the highlight of my day.

And may I just add that I love not having to smell any cigarettes during the route? hahaha Ang sarap huminga. 😂

Titan Jr. highlights 🏁✨

Went into this race nervous and unsure of what to expect, but came out having so much fun and so grateful for the whole experience. ❤️

Not racing for speed, but racing to finish, learn, and prove to myself that I can. Another reminder that slow is still racing, and every finish line is worth celebrating.

Thank you @goraceph.official @titan777philippines @pinaytri our dear coach, and the @pnytribe team for making this experience extra special. 🫶🏻

I’ve always been afraid of duathlons because I’m afraid to fail. Duathlons really are not my thing but early this year I decided to face my fear and finally sign up for a duathlon. And I signed up for the #ToughestDuathlonInAsia.

This morning started with a mysterious knee ache. The “good” knee that have carried me for seven years healing the “bad” knee finally said- I aint having none of this.

Still faced my fear and got to start line. Decided to really pull back on the run part. But surprisingly after 3kms it went away.

My goodness that was some crazy bike ride, glad to have got through it in ample time and safe. Nevertheless I had fun seeing friends and meeting new friends along the way too.

Sir Ric who I checked when he fell down the first run. The chat with runner where he was followed by two butterflies, and found out both his parents passed away last september. The ladies who cheered and sprayed when my left butt cheek when it cramped. The online followers who expressed their appreciation for my posts. And magnesium girl who helped out athletes, like my athlete when she had a hard time. As @tribasketbolista said, that is the community. That is family.

Glad to ba part of the Titan Family now. Nyemas ang hirap ha. Would I do it again… hmm let’s just say, I’m not saying yes… yet. 😂 Hindi din ako nag “no”

4km run- 102km bike- 21km run. DONE ✅ Mesheket.

Awesome day @titan777philippines !!!
