I draw straight-to-pen portraits (sometimes), take relatively decent photos (sometimes), and make coffee (all the time).

It's been a bleh 2 weeks of training. Today isn't any better.
Pushing through it and just choosing to show up because it's better than not trying at all.

Yesterday, emotions won. I let myself get swallowed up by the bed the whole day.
Woke up today with back pain worse than post-triathlon/marathon body aches. I knew it'll only get worse if I don't move. The walk and stretches did me wonders — physically, mentally, emotionally.

I've been so bad at posting here. At the same time, wanting an outlet to vent out to or just express thoughts.
Then I realize I set this account up to do exactly just that. It doesn't have to strictly be about triathlon, photography, drawing and random life stuff. This can be all of that and more!😎

It has been a doozy few months. Which makes me realize I need a place to dump all the randoms thoughts I have. 💭💭💭

Life update:
Finished the 5150 triathlon!
Most anxious about making the swim cutoff since I only banked 15 pool sessions & 2 ows, but I made it. Finished ahead of my bike time goal. Felt strong on the run. Ugly-cried at the finish.
19 weeks of training & grit got me through. Ironman 70.3 next?

Zone 2, baby!
I've been wondering why I feel so tired with my training compared to my first sprint tri training. Realized, I'm doing an olympic-distance this time & training schedule from before were NOTHING compared to this.
What more for an Ironman training?!

I'm at the point where my body just wants to rest a whole day or two.
Alas, I have a swim session and a long run today.

I barely have time to do my training now, 9 weeks deep, because they've started to go on for longer.
How do I even sneak in strength training in between?

Even the car air-conditioning didn't stand a chance against this heat today while I was out.

Tapped out on w7d7 long run last Sunday. It's been a week of lack of sleep and longer training hours. Add to that, a death in the family and a possibly sick grandma who refuses a checkup.
My body (and mind) just said, 'nope!'.
Anyway, today starts a new training week and hopeful to complete it.

Back from Iceland and this heat here in the PH is killing me.
We hit 42°C today and even doing a run tonight was brutal.

I expected for Iceland's weather to be unpredictable, but not THAT crazy.
Managed to sneak in a quick 5k once the sun was out but not even halfway through, it started raining, then sleet with strong winds.
But man, the view gorgeous!

A little throwback to when I dabbled into digital art.
Now I don't even know how to navigate the program. 🤭

There are good run days, there are bad run days — today was the latter.
What was supposed to be a 1.5hr-run was cut in half 'coz my body wasn't feeling it.
Maybe 'coz it's that time of the month, or the heat. But at least I got a bit of run in?

Coming from the PH, not used to doing winters except for when I travel. One would assume that I'd be all geared and packed up for my Iceland trip next week, right?
Nope! 😅

Still very much a #slowrunner but this is the first one in a long time where my heart just kept steady at Z2 without having to stop/walk!
I'm taking that as win to start the weekend right!

Week 1 ✅
Didn't think I'd be able to honestly finish the week because legs have been sore since Friday, but your body sometimes surprises you.
Also aiming to do more strength workouts next week alongside the training plan. Let's see!

This week was so busy and trying to find time to squeeze in training was nearly impossible.
I'm relishing that today was run recovery day + metcon, which was the least taxing training day of the week! Back to the grind tomorrow.
Happy weekend!

Oh, and how fortuitous that the first day of my next tri training fell on the day of my first (and only) triathlon last year!
Wk1D1 ✅
I definitely won't be posting regularly about training but I do want to mark today as it is Day 1!
After a week of no exercise at all, easy felt a whole lot harder this time.

Will it be possible (generally speaking road-/weather-wise) to sneak in runs in #Iceland around late March?

More often than not, the more you think about the WHYs, the more the answers become elusive and you end up with even more questions than when you first started.

Nephew killed on the bike! Advanced #duathlon for his age group — 3km bike-800m run.
Bestie slid through that finish chute EFFORTLESSLY for her first #multisport — inverse dua — 5km run-40km bike-10km run.
Both registering just two weeks before literally meant 2 weeks of training as well!
