Highlights of the @clashendurance Daytona middle distance (half ironman distance).. i finally broke the 3 hour barrier on this 56 mile bike ride. So happy to have improved in the bike leg. My new adjusted TT position really helped as well as the @orrcarbonwheels .. just a few more tweaks on the bike position to establish more comfort on the bike leg. My time break downs are as follows: Swim (1.2 miles or 1.9km) - 44 mins Bike (56 miles or 90km ) - 2 hours and 55 mins Run (13.1 miles or 21km) - 2 hours and 47 mins It was a great event last weekend!!! With rv and tent camping, it made the event more for the regular joe. The southern hospitality was also evident and i really appreciate all the Floridians out there! I also commend team @blueseventy and @flobikes for the camarederie, cookouts and team spirit. Finally, this event the highlight of my own triple challenge for the weekend comprised of a jingle jog 5k on friday, sprint distance triathlon on saturday and the half ironman distance on sunday. Congratulations to all finishers, teams and to the event organizers! Job well done! 👍👍👍 The family and I truly had a spectacular event. Till next year... 😁😁😁 #blueseventy #blueseventyracing #allfortheswim #rudyprojectna #clashdaytona #clash #halfironman #swimbikerun (at Daytona 500 International Speedway) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl_0-c5ppbl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

IRONMAN WACO 2022 Run Leg (26 miles = 42 km) As much as I want to do a quick transition, I can't. My energy was depleted in the bike leg. So, i took my time, wore my @on_running socks and shoes, the cloudboom echo, and checked my watch to see much how much time i have left before the cut off. It is almost 6pm. My cut off time is 1:04 am. At this state , I can't do a run. I would just do my usual post to post walk-jog combo. So, off i go. I was just walking the first 2 miles but after snacking the potato chips and coke in the aid station, i kind of got back at the present moment, and i was able to do my run-walk strategy. At this point, I was already catching up to those who were in front of me. My pace is slow. Its survival of whatever you have. I was feeling good until i hit the wall in between mile 12 and 13. I was in zombie mode. I was walking with eyes closed. I BONKED!!!! AGAIN!!! 😬😬😬 SO, i made the decision to take a break. I sat down on the bridge, closed my eyes and bowed down my head. I had a power nap for 20 minutes. This was from 9:11 to 9:31 pm. I am used to power naps as i work night shifts as a nurse and after the nap, i would be renewed. So, i took the gamble and It paid off. I felt refreshed when i woke up. Checked my watch, i have almost 3 hours and 30 mins to complete 13.5 miles. So now, there is pressure. I see athletes walking but there is a sense of urgency. Everyone is hurrying to meet the cut off. I went to an aid station, took my @surphyto Pills and off im back at it. On the 16th mile, my battery died. Im running blind now. I have no way to check the time. I just kept on chasing the other runners in front of me. On mile 20-25, i saw runners in agony, cramping and barely can make a step, but they are still pushing. It was inspiring!!! I talked to them and everyone was encouraging everyone. I offered my @baseperformance salt to some who cramped up. Finally, as I was about to go up the bridge for the finish line i cant help but feel the sigh of relief. I finished the race with a total time of 16 hours and 35 mins. 25 minutes before the cut off. This was painful and its worth it! #onroc #discoverouterspaces @on_running_nation (at Waco, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj4Yz_3raK_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

IRONMAN WACO 2022 Bike Leg (112 miles = 180 km) Off to the bike leg I go. I have doubts a little bit on this one because i need to adjust my positioning because of the new @tririg closed arm cups installed. I was also worried because when i practiced the tt position my balance gets thrown off because of the wind in this area. Its a good thing that I was able to get used to it eventually on thursday night. So, as I traverse the city of Waco, my mind was telling me that my challenges would be the heat and the wind. So, my solution? Hydrate with @nuunhydration mixed with @baseperformance , splash my entire body with water as a go, take my @surphyto tablets every hour, and maintain aero position as much as i can. I thought I had the puzzle solved. I was so wrong. One mistake, i made was i assumed that the course was flat. And yes, i paid the price for it. The winds were horrendous!!! And the hills were leg killers!!! And the heat was agonizing!!! So, combine all three and you have recipe for disaster. The course was similar to ironman wisconsin, just add extrene heat and strong winds to it. So, my thought of getting a PR in the bike, turned into a survival bike ride. More than 100 participants dropped on the bike leg alone. I was just grateful that i survived that ordeal as I was able to recover from 3 bonk episodes and was able to finish strong at the bike. My total bike time was an agonizing 7:59:33. I was just happy to survive at this point. 😬😬😬 @orrcarbonwheels @orr_factory_racing_team @maunaendurance @baseperformance @nuunhydration @surphyto #orrcycling #maunaendurance #surphytoperformance #surphyto #nuun #nuunlife #nuunambassador #baseperformance (at Waco, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj4RCeNrRzL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

IRONMAN WACO 2022 Swim Leg (2.4 miles = 3.8 km) So, 27 days after ironman maryland, here i am again about to toe the line of another ironman full distance event. My nerves are calm and I am a bit confident this time on the swim cause i have my trusted @blueseventy wetsuit. Why? Because the bouyancy of this suit is way higher thatn other wetsuits i have ever tried. So, i know i will float in fresh water. The river was dark and choppy. I also noticed that the river has this small waves that can barely be noticed but you will know that its there because you are being propelled to another direction. I found myself going to different directions. So, i swam more than what i was supposed to. My total distance was 4918 yards or 4.49 km or 2.79 miles. 🤣🤣 There were many kayaks, on the river. I applaud the waco sports commision for ensuring the safety of the athletes. My total swim time was 1 hour and 44 mins. So, this is my longest swim by far and my fastest at that distance. @blueseventy @ironmantri @vinfast_racing #allfortheswim #blueseventy #blueseventyracing #imwaco #ironman #ironmantriathlon #ironmanwaco #triathlete #triathlon #swim #swimbikerun #openwater #vinfast (at Waco, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj4LvZQLMDu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today is medal monday and what better to celebrate it with? An ironman medal. 🏅🏅🏅 for the first time, I did not feel defeated. I actually was racing rather than just surviving. Finished the Ironman Journey (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run)in 14:52. This was a big improvement from my IM Arizona in 2019 where i barely made the cut off at 16:55. I am so grateful to the Almighty, to my family and friends, who believed in me, to all the volunteers in #maryland , you are so INCREDIBLE!!! I appreciate all your cheers and encouragement in the entire race. Its party on the streets!!! 🎊🎉🧨🎉🎊 which included the residents!! Some folks even offered a charging station for sherpas! That is how accomodating the people of #Cambridge are. Lastly, i express my heartfelt gratitude to the teams i am a part of namely @blueseventy @maunaendurance @surphyto @nuunhydration I strongly recommend @ironmanmaryland to those who have not done it yet. Warning : just be ready for the jelly fish, its REAL, it HURTS, and it will make you swim faster 🤣🤣🤣 #medalmonday #immd #swimbikerun #ironmantriathlon #ironmantri #ironman https://www.instagram.com/p/CitmlNYLQ2g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Testing the waters with my @blueseventy suit! Of all wetsuits i tried, i could say in pure honesty, that the wetsuits by @blueseventy are the best! This has been the most bouyant wetsuit i have ever worn. Also, it is easier to put on and take off compared to the others that i tried before. The gliding is also next to none. Im proud to be part of the team!!! #blue70 #blueseventy #blueseventyracing #teamblueseventy #allfortheswim #openwater #openwaterswimming #swim #wetsuit #immd #ironman (at Great Marsh Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CilAtSNJDsE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finally had the chance to post after stabilizing everything. So, i finally checked in. Its a great day here in Maryland. The sun is shining, the people are amazing, and the food is really good. Hoping for a successful and safe race (2.4m swim, 112m bike, 26.2m run) on Saturday. @maunaendurance @blueseventy @on_running @on_running_nation @surphyto @orrcarbonwheels @nuunhydration @rudyprojectna @go2devices @baseperformance @roadid #onroc #onrunning #runonclouds #allfortheswim #maunaendurance #nuun #orrwheels #rudyprojectna #go2devices #surphyto #surphytoperformance #base #baseperformance #roadid #ironman #immaryland #anythingispossible #endurance #swimbikerun #maryland #IMMD (at IRONMAN Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiiE_jeLzGG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
