February 29, Friday. Two days before Werweran 15, Lloyd and I went to Binalonan on our bikes. We needed the extra kilometers of training before the race because we were not able to train for some time. We rode nice and slow. It was about 200kms ride from Manila to Binalonan. It was already late in the afternoon when we arrived in Elmo’s house because we were too slow hehehe. (more…)
June 12, Thursday. Happy Independence Day! Its been a while since I last updated. I have been busy helping out on a project. It goes a little out of hand and takes more than what I expected. But everything is now getting back on track and made a lot easier by Sir Hiso. Thank you sir!
I am way behind my post about the races I joined in the last few months. I hope I can post it in the following days. Since there were no clear plans and program for the team, I started doing weight training about 3 weeks ago. I am suppose to be building up my base and doing long rides pero pabago-bago na ang panahon at lagi akong naulanan. I got sick last weekend, then had an accident at home last Monday, June 9. Pag sinuswerte ka nga naman. Naulanan na naman kanina kaya may sipon na agad ngayon.
On June 2, Tuesday, I attended the funeral of a colleague, Rodelio Valdez. Condolence to his whole family.
March 22, Saturday. Route Survey. Riders from different teams assembled around 7am at the starting line for the race on the following day. We surveyed the 50km race route. While familiarizing with the route, the group found out that the road condition was terrible. There were a lot of potholes, surprising and dangerous islands and humps. (more…)
Sir Hiso is inviting cyclists to join the 2008 edition of his criterium race, the 3rd RP Hiso Sports Cycling Classic in his hometown Marikina City on Saturday, March 15. Aside from his long time commitment to the sport, the race is also his annual search of young and promising cyclists. The race will be held around the Marikina Sports Center.
February 27, Wednesday. I am way behind my post lately. I can not write as much as I want to. May be because I am always busy, may be because all of a sudden I don’t know how to start, or may be because I am thinking too much, may be because I am pressured, may be because I do not want to say anything that will further aggravate (tagal ko hinanap sa thesaurus yan word na yan hehehe) the situation. I am now faced with the same situation I faced before. I have learned my lessons in the past and now I know what will work and what is useless. Lahat ng ito napagdaan ko na. Ang maganda lang ngayon, lahat may mukha na. Now I know who is who. (more…)
