WOW FOR HONOR AND GLORY FULL

It was after that gruelling 42K marathon that I felt like it was the peak for me - although I didnвЂ™t have the desired good time but happy anyway that I crossed the finish line. It was, at that time, where I learned to love running, and through the programs tailored by Paultom Paras and Poying Tecson that Jay and I eventually finished the coveted 42-kilometer Cebu City International Marathon in 2012. Then we were invited by Ritchie and Iris Armogenia to the newly-formed Dumaguete Amateur Runners & Striders (DARS), where we joined night runs and weekend long runs. The only experience I had was the training runs with the Cuernos de Negros mountaineers, and a year of varsity swimming with Silliman University, which I had to quit to focus on my Nursing degree.

WOW FOR HONOR AND GLORY FULL

Back then, it didnвЂ™t really sink in that someday, I will be joining a full triathlon since I am no biker, nor a good runner. Triathlons are different from the other outdoor sports I was exposed to in school. Although we finished last because of a flat tire, it was there I felt that triathlons are challenging but fun. I did the swim, and Jay did the bike and the run. My first triathlon experience was a relay in San Jose, where my husband Jay and I did a tandem.

I never thought I could accomplish a feat like that in my lifetime. Joining the Cobra Ironman 70.3 was a dream God fulfilled for me.

Wow for honor and glory
