Hey this weekend was my b-day and it was loaded with events!
It started with my 24th b-day, then with a 8am Saturday 2 hour schedule ride that started at TBB Subic ride with coach Melvin who was prepping for his return to competition after 2 years.
10h30 and I was already eating my b-day cake with my Joyette, after a nap I went for a swim, meet with some local friends, eat pizza, get race kit for race tomorrow!
This was an Olympic distance, 1st of the series of local Pino race series where I was able to get a “guest racer” slot for free, getting thins for free, en enormous aspect of being a developing professional triathlete!
Wake up
Bananas, coffee, hardboiled eggs with salt
Ride to race start in the darkest

Get flat @ 15km on rear wheel on a road that I have ridden over a 1000 times

Feel the strain of the race and sudden stop for puncture

Slip on my pair of AVIA Bolts 2
From first strides I know this will be good run
