Vi Fit : Run 2 Be Fit

After the Titan 77.7 PH...
I just needed a break from road running and cycling: the “suya” is real 😅 I didn’t even want to run or bike on pavement for a while.

After one recovery run and ride, I cleaned my bike and kept it away. Then I saw my trail running shoes… I thought, “Maybe trail naman?”

But since it’s healthier to bike than ride a motor or car going to the trail, I grabbed my gravel bike instead - and off I went! The route was more for enduro or XC MTB, but I still managed the climbs, enjoyed the views, and hit two birds with one stone. 🚵‍♂️🌿

And if you’re wondering where the trail run part of my post is that’s when I had to walk the super steep, muddy, and slippery sections where my gravel bike (with fast-rolling tires) just couldn’t handle it. 😅

Still… what an unexpected happy ride. Sometimes the best adventures happen when you just go with the flow. 🙌

I’m fast, but not as fast as the OGs or elites.

I take photos and post them on social media, not for flex, but for memories.

I buy expensive gears, shoes, gadgets… because I can, and because it keeps me motivated.

I’m disciplined, but I also have bad days. Days when I’m too lazy to train, and that’s okay.

So here’s the thing…
If you call yourself an OG, elite, or “disciplined” athlete, why waste your energy criticizing others, especially the newbies who are just starting out?

Instead of calling them tanga, why not help them improve? Because let’s be real minsan naging tanga ka rin nung nagsisimula ka.
Baka nga tatanga-tanga ka pa rin minsan hanggang ngayon, kaya wag masyadong mataas, TANGA ka rin dati. 😏

Respect the grind. Everyone starts somewhere.

Yeah!!! I am a TiTaN 🤘🏽🐵🤘🏽

But this post is not about me, it’s all for God and the people He used to help me finish this race. 🙏

There were so many setbacks in training, but I knew deep inside I was ready. I crushed my 1st 4km at 18 mins, nailed the 1st half of my bike until the unexpected happened. When I was ready to give up on my 2nd run, somehow I still managed to crash a 1:58 half marathon.

At gun start, I talked to You, Lord - “PLEASE HELP.ME FINISH STRONG.”
Until now, I still get goosebumps thinking about what You did, and the people You sent along the way.

At KM 45 (downhill), I lost all 3 of my nutrition, I knew I was in trouble. I slowed down and swallowed my pride.
Then at KM 75, cramps hit hard on the 2nd to the last uphill and You sent a good Samaritan (sorry I didn’t catch your BIB).
On the last uphill, cramps hit even worse… but again, You used another instrument, thank you, Sir BIB 71! 🙏

On the 2nd run, different gels were handed to me, I took the risk, then had to rush to the toilet 😅. Then when I thought I was dehydrated and done, You sent another angel - thank you Ma’am BIB 593R (Titan Relay) for the gel that changed everything! From the verge of quitting to pacing 4:50–5:30/km!

Also, huge thanks to the GoRacePH staff your cold water refills truly saved us out there. At KM 13, when I was about to fade, You sent one more push - thank you Cristopher of Royal Manila Conrado Gicanal for the 2 gels that helped me finish strong.

Without You, Lord, and these people, I don’t think I could’ve survived this race. 🙏

Special thanks to:
Mam Mira Gicanal – for the bottled water
Albert Ragasa – for the cold water buhos
DUKOT Family – your cheers really lifted me up
Jerry Castro & D**g Quemada – for the solid advice
Go Race PH Titan 77.7 Philippines – for another awesome event! See you soon at Gravelton and the last Duathlon of the year (Nov 30)!
To My Students Vi Fit : Run 2 Be Fit thank you sa mga goodluck wishes and congratulations msgs

To my teammates & students who are now also Titan Finishers — Congrats!!! 🏁
Marcel Jon Carreon Mendoza
Genelyn Mendoza
Roy Butuyan Bagood III
Shali Macababbad-Ignacio

And lastly, thank You Lord for blessing me with an understanding, loving wife and sweet, caring kids. ❤️

All the glory goes to You, Lord God! 🙏

Titan 77.7 Philippines – the toughest duathlon in Asia.

Last heat training done before the big day.
Didn’t hit the target load because of the crazy weather and floods, but being safe and injury-free is already a win.

This race will be brutal, no doubt… but I’ll be toeing the line with my team Vi Fit : Run 2 Be Fit Virtual Run Fitness Hub, giving everything we got.

And it’s not just us, our young athletes will also be racing this Saturday at the Phoenix Kids event. Big respect to the next generation of warriors.

God bless everyone racing this weekend, see you at TITAN PH!

Kinda tough session today 💨 kahit naka-schedule easy, hirap dahil kulang sa tulog. Only had 2H17mins of sleep, natapos naman ng matiwasay but can't control my HR sa Run nag zon3 and spikes sa zone 4 dahil sa init fin at kulang sa sleep.

Sometimes finishing isn’t about being strong, it’s about being stubborn enough not to quit. 🏃‍♂️🚴‍♂️🔥

And shoutout sa mga students ko na nakapag run today kalat-kalat man tayo ng location.. sa mga hindi pa nakakapag run dahil sa pinsala ng Itinaas na kalsada.. este ng baha dahil sa bagyo.. huwag masyafong ma stress huhupa din ang baha..
