It has been a doozy few months. Which makes me realize I need a place to dump all the randoms thoughts I have. 💭💭💭

Hey! How was your Cebu 70.3? Hope it went amazingly!

Also, I gave in. Will be doing it next June! 😅

Life update:

Finished the 5150 triathlon!

Most anxious about making the swim cutoff since I only banked 15 pool sessions & 2 ows, but I made it. Finished ahead of my bike time goal. Felt strong on the run. Ugly-cried at the finish.

19 weeks of training & grit got me through. Ironman 70.3 next?

Congratulations! 🎉

Congratulations!

Lucky to have been able to avoid the rain out here, but wet season is upon us so I might be running out of luck. 😅

I sang along this post. Love her. 😊

Zone 2, baby!

I've been wondering why I feel so tired with my training compared to my first sprint tri training. Realized, I'm doing an olympic-distance this time & training schedule from before were NOTHING compared to this.

What more for an Ironman training?!

I'm at the point where my body just wants to rest a whole day or two.

Alas, I have a swim session and a long run today.

Sey Torres @seytorres.bsky.social · May 2

I barely have time to do my training now, 9 weeks deep, because they've started to go on for longer.

How do I even sneak in strength training in between?

Even the car air-conditioning didn't stand a chance against this heat today while I was out.

Sey Torres @seytorres.bsky.social · Apr 22

Tapped out on w7d7 long run last Sunday. It's been a week of lack of sleep and longer training hours. Add to that, a death in the family and a possibly sick grandma who refuses a checkup.

My body (and mind) just said, 'nope!'.

Anyway, today starts a new training week and hopeful to complete it.

Sey Torres @seytorres.bsky.social · Apr 22

Nice! It's been doing squats since it sprouted. 😝

Sey Torres @seytorres.bsky.social · Apr 16

All I have to do is get out of my airconditioned room and I automatically sweat. 😂

Sey Torres @seytorres.bsky.social · Apr 16

Can't blame her! Looks so cozy!

Sey Torres @seytorres.bsky.social · Apr 15

This looks so calming. She'll love that spot!

Sey Torres @seytorres.bsky.social · Apr 15

Congrats!

Back from Iceland and this heat here in the PH is killing me.

We hit 42°C today and even doing a run tonight was brutal.

Sey Torres @seytorres.bsky.social · Apr 3

I expected for Iceland's weather to be unpredictable, but not THAT crazy.

Managed to sneak in a quick 5k once the sun was out but not even halfway through, it started raining, then sleet with strong winds.

But man, the view gorgeous!

After more than a day of travelling, finally landed in this magical, out-of-this-world place — #Iceland.

Cannot wait to explore you!

Sey Torres @seytorres.bsky.social · Mar 17

That looks good! Most of the time, home-baked beats commercial goodies.

Sey Torres @seytorres.bsky.social · Mar 17

Oh no! That sucks big time. I hope you feel better soon!

A little throwback to when I dabbled into digital art.

Now I don't even know how to navigate the program. 🤭

There are good run days, there are bad run days — today was the latter.

What was supposed to be a 1.5hr-run was cut in half 'coz my body wasn't feeling it.

Maybe 'coz it's that time of the month, or the heat. But at least I got a bit of run in?

Coming from the PH, not used to doing winters except for when I travel. One would assume that I'd be all geared and packed up for my Iceland trip next week, right?

Nope! 😅
