Christmas Party UPDATE
The group had their “wholesome/sober” Christmas party last Wednesday in Pho Bac Vietnamese restaurant in Fort. Noodles, spring roll, beef stew and salad were the staple. It wasn’t a surprise that no one took the initiative to take some pictures. The celebration came after their interval workout and it was natural for everyone to feel lethargic and famished so posing for the cam was the last thing on their mind. Thanks for the gifts!
May we have more parties to come!
Note: Attached are just reference pics but almost similar to what happened during the party.
yuummmyyyyy!

Spiridon Louis
Who was the first modern-day Olympic marathon, 1896 Summer Olympics, winner?
Matabungkay Triathlon 1988
We’ve been doing triathlons since it was first introduced in the Philippines. Tita Cory was still president then. We found these photos and we want to share them with you. (No laughing please!)
Bare torso was not scandalous then, unlike today
Female triathletes show less skin then
<p
- No hydration belts, elastic laces, fancy tri-shoes but we had skateboard helmets and Ray-Ban shades
No aerobars, aerowheels, aero helmets. Bikes were made out of Nawasa tubes.
We were pro-environment ever since. Notice the kaing (for our tri-stuff)
We had shoelaces on our cycling shoes. Velcro straps were unheard of.
