The Brave The Bold The TNF 100

By Philippides Cayetano 

Last December 2012, I finished my first road ultramarathon – Tagaytay 2 Nasugbu 50km run, together with Melvin Pangan. After that, I eagerly waited for my next ultramarathon.

This year, The North Face 100 ultra series opened up their registration. My wife Arzen and I signed up for it. Bold enough (madness as you call it), I filled up the registration form and joined the 50km category, while Arzen registered for 11km, since this will be her first official run race after giving birth.

As a mountaineer, climbing, hiking and running on rugged terrains were a familiar thing to us, so we kind of have a substantial confidence level in joining this race.

Before getting into Multisport

Know the sport. Train wise. Live healthy. Know your body.

As you know, we sometimes read and heard in the news some incidents involving participants died while racing in triathlon.  Coach Rick Ledesma of Firstwavetri, a tri community forum, initiated a collective information what causes the unfortunate events.

Coach Rick consulted Dr. Randy Molo on questions & theories that occurred in that moment. Dr. Randy Molo practices as an orthopedic surgeon, member of Phil. Center for Sports Medicine working with RP athletes and the Azkals, consultant for one shoe brand, and also a member of multisport team.

The interview made happen so that the multisport community will be more aware of the health issue that go with triathlon sport.

Challenge Accepted!

The Globe Cordillera Challenge 4
By Arzen Fernandez-Cayetano

The first time we learned about the 4th Globe Cordillera Challenge (GCC4), my husband and I really got excited. Personally, Baguiois a place close to our hearts. I can still remember in 2011, before Pyds and I tied the knot we biked from Tarlac to Baguiovia Kennon Road. It was a heaven and hell experience for me. But after giving birth to our first son, I think it’s about time that I add another feat on my list – the epic Ambuklao ride by GCC4! But this was an extreme challenge given that this was my come-back ride. Should I accept the challenge?

The first day Globe opened up its registration, we signed up. To be able to register or secure a slot, the participant must donate P1,000 which then will be used by Globe as funds to plant trees in the Cordillera mountain range. One cool thing with the said event was that the cycling jersey was made of recycled PET bottle. On top of that, the fee also included the bike transportation from Manilato Baguio and vice versa. Knowing that the GCC4 will be on Ambuklao, I felt scared with the downhill part of the route – it’s 18km of downhill trail!

My Pico de Loro Triathlon Experience
by Bong Zandueta

 

Prologue

I have been wanting to take my family to the Pico de Loro Beach and Country Club since I have been seeing pictures of my friends who have had corporate outings there.  Being an exclusive, members-only resort, access is limited.

I eagerly awaited registration to open for the 2013 race.  My excitement was short lived as I learned this was a by-invitation event.    I gave up any hope of bringing my family this year to Pico  and focused on an earlier race in March.  I did not count on this race getting filled up 2months before the race!

Thankfully, about 2 weeks later, my triathlon team, Endure Multisport received an invite to join the Pico de Loro Triathlon.  A week later, I had the funds and forked out the cash to Bike King.  I also made arrangements with the Pico Sands Hotel and booked my family a room.  I was in a near faint as I rarely  fork out that much cash in one day 🙂

ENDURE Battle of the Sexes 2012

While we are proud of each of our teammates no matter the distance or finish time they accomplish, in the spirit of friendly competition Team ENDURE keeps score on only one thing: the yearly H-Endure vs. SH-Endure medal tally. Our erstwhile “Battle of the Sexes” has the requisite trash talking and hard training in order to avoid getting “chicked”, but it’s is all in good fun.
