Today’s race — it’s all on me. No excuse!!!
I take full responsibility for the result of today’s duathlon. I made a lot of mistakes, but I also gained a lot of learnings.
Here are some of the things I did wrong:
🚫 Forgot to bring bike tools and a pump — but thankfully, my teammate had one, and big thanks to Coach Don Velasco for lending tools.
🚫 Used ordinary packaging tape to stick my gels on the bike — ended up losing my 3 key nutrition that was supposed to fuel me for the 12km run.
🚫 Got too competitive and broke drafting rules few times — earned myself a penalty.
🚫 Overconfident — didn’t bother checking the race map. Surprise trail section! Slipped and learned the hard way.
🚫 Trained for only 2 weeks before the race — chose recovery due to previous lactate build-up issues..
But despite everything, I’m still grateful. I finished strong and brought home valuable lessons. And the best reminder came from my daughter Saphire & Aerith when I told them about my mistakes. They said:
“It’s okay, Daddy. Many mistakes will teach you many lessons. Just come back stronger next time.” 💙
