project training wheels

project training wheels day 2.

this session egged us to have 2 things with us.
1. own helmet  (for our own protection) and
2. cycling/biking shorts (with butt pads) to eliminate the sore butt after effects

so far, ellen & i were able to accomplish item #1
project training wheels class picture
ellen (with rudy), timmy (with spyder), carins (specialized), raff (giro), karen (bell)
second row: brando, chelly, cindy, tracy


go go power rangers?


unfortunately, we weren't able to accomplish item #2 as ellen was busy winning 2nd place overall at the recently concluded Camaya Coast Aquathlon

 team secondwind's JC Pineda taking 1st, while team endure's Ellen Encinares taking the 2nd spot

initially we planned to get bike shorts at the nearby bike stores in BHS, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, ubos yung size for ellen, and wala silang cycling shorts with padding for me.

for this session, we had a new classmate

coach pio with new classmate, master cindy

and new assistant coaches
"coach" raffger

"coach" karen

other bikers/ spectators were also present, namely carina, tracy, wilnar, and chelly the belly. brando also dropped by to take the photos (all photos in this blog entry were taken by brando, except the camaya pics).

this session's main goal was to help us gain more confidence in riding the bike, and at the same time, have practice riding on our own.



another special session we had that day was how to change/ remove tires
this was a concern raised before, specially for those who don't have a big car that would fit the bike.
coach pio teaching us how to remove the rear wheel (ndi sha flat ha, nag tuturo lang talagang mag palit ng gulong) hahaha

some more pics from the second session

the master is back!

student bikers on the loose!

as the day progressed, we tried riding the road bike
after the day's session, we had the usual class pictures



after dinner on our way back to the parking lot, our beloved coach was approached by an old lady asking him what happened to him. all the while we thought that coach pio knew this lady who asked him, but no, she was a complete stranger! :) hahahaha :) ibang level talaga si coach.

one last class picture.



as per coach pio, the next step is to GET the BIKE!

why do i hate mizuno

Mizuno sucks. BIG TIME. yup. you read that right. why? point #1: they are not a mainstream brand. mainstream in a sense that they don't even ha ve well-known product endorsers unlike other sports brands around the world. i mean, how can they expect their products to sell like pancakes if the y're like that diba? point #2: they do not promote much of themselves. not much print ads if you'd ask me. i work in a magazine publishing company and i don't see mu ch of their products splashed all over our magazines. i don't see them havi ng television ads too. not even in the newspapers does mizuno have anything that will lead people to buy their products. point #3: the products are not that "fashionable." as compared to other "mainstream" brands, you won't see you r regular juans and marias weari ng mizunos together with their jeans to the office. you don't see them usually wearing mizuno s when they go around the malls, walking, shopping, chilli...

can you ENDURE the HEAT?

maraming nag rereklamo sa init ng panahon. makalipas ang ilang buwang pagkalamig-lamig buong araw, ngayon naman ang tindi na ng init, lalo na sa tanghaling tapat. at dahil dyan, kailangang magpalamig! yung ibang mananakbo, tulad ng ilang Ultramarathoners, sinubukan na ang kasiyahan ng pagsali sa triathlon. PERO sabi nila, lamang pa rin ang ULTRAS kumpara sa TRI.  yung iba naman, gustuhin mang mag TRI eh nag iipon pa rin para sa bike. eh paano naman ung gusto lang mag multisport? san sila sasali?  bakit naman sila sasali dito?  this event was conceived primarily to serve as simulation for those joining the Ateneo Aquathlon slated on March 20, 2011. in line with the team's partnership with Microwarehouse, the official distributor of Blackberries in the Philippines, the team decided to make it open to the public as a way of sharing to the public the joys of multisport. Here is the write up from the organizers (which i am also a team member :) )  ENDURE is a buddin...

SURVIVOR International Marathon: Smart SIM 2009 (part 1)

i'm sure a lot of runner-bloggers already expressed their opinions towards the recently concluded Smart SIM 42K SURVIVAL Run held this weekend. this is just to summarize things from MY point of view, and MY OPINIONS. This was supposedly the "most prestigious" marathon in the Philippines (well so they say). if being prestigious means: 1. No water stations for most of the stretch of the SCTEX 2. No support stations allowed along the long stretch of the SCTEX 3. No light along the way 4. runners' safety along the long dark stretch of the SCTEX was unsure (even though the road was closed from motorists, the sheer darkness of the place can put an injured, dehydrated runner lost in the darkness) kahit na they say bring your own lights, ibang level pa rin ito. then i guess this is it. i think it could be likened to training for the BDM, pero sa BDM alam ko may ilaw, at may posibilidad to buy drinks/ hydration along the way. i've had a lot of friends from takbo.ph who had...
