Hey Cheaters, stop it! How Can We Stop Them From Cheating?

February 25, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

The triathlon season is upon us and I have already seen people cheating (swimming inside the designated swimming ropes) and throwing their rubbish in a protected forest! Have you seen any one cheating yet? How can we stop them?

I am re-posting our most popular article ever in the hope race directors, coaches, triathlon teams and everyone involved in our sport act within the spirit of good competition. Know the rules and act accordingly within the spirit of fair competition.

I love competing at triathlon and running events. It is cool to test yourself against your previous years results and against your competitors in your age category.

The reason to SIGN UP for races vary from individual but include:

– Getting a nice medal; getting the nice finisher’s shirt; having fun; getting fitter; beating your friends and rivals to the finish line; being part of your triathlon team; having something fun to post on facebook; setting a positive example to your fiends; and for the love of exercising in the sun.

There are some people who want to do well so badly that they are prepared to go outside of the rules to get onto the podium or even to just get a personal best.

Going outside the rules means cheating and should not be tolerated in our fun sport. We need more vigilance on behalf of the competitors, spectators and race organizers.

Primed Lifestyle, Reverse Type 2 Diabetes

Are You on the Road to Type-2 Diabetes or Good Health?

February 19, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

A lot of people have type-2 diabetes or have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic. An inordinate number of people in the US, Australia, India, China, the Philippines and many other countries have this terrible condition and that number will increase drastically over the next decade. The condition is not passed on through genetics but is because of the way people eat and sleep.

Most current, conventional treatment involves Low Fat, High Carb recommendations PLUS drugs and more exercise. Just one question. How’s that working out for us?

Here is how the current treatment is working in Australia:Within 5 years diabetes will be the biggest cause of death and illness in Australia.

Australia is doing about as well as the US and the Philippines.

Not all. This is from my Mum: “Hey I’m no longer diabetic boys, it can be done, just lost 10 kg’s, cut down on the amount of food you eat, fasting one day a week, it works. Hey Sean call, miss you. Mother.”

There is a a way to reverse type 2 diabetes. Maybe your doctor does not know it but Primed clients do.

Primed Dark Chocolate Honey Bar

February 5, 2015 cyrillesoenen 1 Comment

I had a secret weapon for my Condura Skyway 21km Run Race. It was my Primed Dark Chocolate Honey Bar. It was a great pre-race fuel source and a cool reward for my best half-marathon time.

This was my first 21km road race and I really enjoyed it. It was great to meet friends like Tessa Valdez and achieve my sub 3 hour goal of 2:55:04 to come in number 2300 out of 4300 plus runners.

Great to see you at the run Tessa.

Thanks to Ton and Raul Concepcion for a wonderfully organized race. I am looking forward to improving my 21km time next year already. Or maybe I’ll try the marathon?

Condura Skyway Race Report: Stronger, Faster, Younger, Primed.

February 2, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 10 Comments

The gun shot at midnight to herald the start of the Condura Skyway marathon had extra significance for all of the 5000 plus marathon runners that morning. The gun shot was symbolic of the loss of the 44 Fallen PNP-SAF members. They are heroes who died for freedom and peace. May you all Rest in Peace and your families gain strength from your sacrifice. We all salute and respect you.

Running for a Cause – Congratulations Raul Concepcion aka RunningShield

Thanks to the vision and integrity of Raul Concepcion we had an event to honor our heroes. The fallen 44 and the current serving and retired armed forces were at the forefront of our minds and hearts.

Like the thousands of others I ran with a heavy heart as I thought of them. I also reflected on my other heroes and was thinking of my Dad, my hero, Charles Davis. He adopted and adored my brother and I and was a great man. I ran that morning wearing his ring. It was quite prophetic that at the 28km mark I was joined by a guy called Charles, the only person whom I ran with for a few kilometers as he kept my steady pace of 4:58 for the entire marathon. I took it as symbolic that my Dad was with me for the race and I knew in my heart that I would finish the race strongly.

Joining Audax Randonneurs Philippines is Fabulous Fun

January 26, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife Leave a comment

Natasha and I joined over 250 other cyclists and triathletes in the Audax Randonneurs Philippines 200km Brevet Ride in the early hours of Saturday the 24th of January. The ride was from Subic to Masinloc and back and was a hoot.

The event was summed up perfectly by Basta Masaya when he said: “Chilly morning, hot midday, strong winds, great participants, new friends, HEROES all.”

6 Reasons to Join Audax Rides

For sure there are more than 6 reasons but here we go….

1. Meet New Friends

What can be better than meeting new friends and catching up with old ones? It was a pleasure to meet Carmela and also see our trail running buddy Joanne Plumbley riding with Team David’s Salon (who are also a sponsor of Audax rdies). Joanne then joined NAGT triathlon the following day and got top place on the podium. Amazing effort.

Picture with Carmela Patricia S. Pearson post race.

Picture thanks to Jola Gonzales with Kriska Sto Domingo, Annie Fallorin Abdon, Nognog Krog, Marita Lucas, Sherwina Lozada, Orange Claudio, Joanne Plumbley, Pebrero Dos, Vany Bandoy Hans and Carmela Patricia S. Pearson.
