Accidentally turned the cam on during one of the hills during my trail run. The heat was banging and so was the elevation. The aid station was nowhere, and we were already at 12kms.

My legs felt like it could no longer climb. This was just a side quest that I really didn’t train for. (Disclaimer * I do have some fitness left in me from IM Vietnam) It was a challenge I wanted to try. I just didn’t think it would be this difficult. haha

I like this particular clip because it showed the most vulnerable I was that day but I could hear myself talking myself through it. People always think running would be like the ones we see in social media, but it usually is like this too for most of us.

I am human. I feel too. Maybe that’s why I believe in my athletes can too because I also go through the same thought process . I’m not superhuman but I manage and try not to quit easily.

IRONMAN Vietnam Race Report
180kms Bike

Ang boring! Pero ang ganda ng daan. Ok there may be a few parts that was a bit bumpy but there was still ridable and will not crack your rims.

Naubusan na ako ng kanta- hanggang Boyfriend shark tu tu tu tu kinanta ko na. There might be videos of an Ironman Athlete online on Vietnamese algorithm please send to me. I was literally singing to someone on the other side of the road that was filming me while she was on the motorcycle. 😂

Boring is good because you just zip in and out of the course. But the pedestrians and others motorbikes that try to cross the race course take the boring out and take the excitement in. 😂 You’ll just really have to be very attentive and shout/ wave at them to get their attention.

It was hot that day and towards the end the wind was winding. 🥲 The course barriers was moved closer too but some were falling down and the “ropes” were loose that a rider got tangled to it. It was getting more challenging as we approaching the end of the 2 loops.

There were lots of ice but they ran out of ziplocks to put it in. So I hung on to mine and recycled it to the end. The volunteers were quite rushing and muntik nya na ibigay yung ice and food ko sa isang participant while I was prepping for my second loop at the special needs area. 🥲

I took it reeaaally easy and rode at z2. Pasyal lang talaga. Happy to have made it ti the run. 🤩

Im so sad though, none of the photographers caught my “signature pathetic pose”.

IM Vietnam Race Report
SWIM

I sincerely wish the gunstart would have been earlier so that the sea was at it’s “calmest”. Thankfully it wasn’t that bad that day. Thankfully God granted that prayer.

Spotted two white jellyfish with long stingers, at about 1,300m but they were a few meters deeper. Told them to stay down there. After spotting the first one, I was always looking forward and hesitant to speed up.

Vietnam still had bouys on the swim course. I wish they would get rid of them next year because some participants were holding on to them while moving forward.

All in all big smile because I was close to my target time as promised to my daughter who was waiting for me, and I did not even put much effort. I was surprised with myself.

Last photo if you zoom in, found a gel wrapper as I was getting out of the water. Picked up and threw it to shore. “Always an opportunity to clean up.”🤭 Diba

First I thought I could never run a 5k. But it happened. I remember the days after my first half marathon, I couldn’t even sit without wincing to the toilet. Then comes my first marathon where I barely made it to the cut off time.

Fast forward to today, I break my sub 15 in a full Ironman. After 5 of this distance, I pushed myself a little harder. Hours of fighting thoughts of doubt and fear. But I managed to talk myself out of it. Prayed. Rethink back to all my training. Trusted the process. And ran a little harder than I could.
