Cheat in your Triathlon and you are cheating more than just yourself

January 20, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 6 Comments

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.

“The truly scary thing about undiscovered lies is that they have a greater capacity to diminish us than exposed ones. They erode our strength, our self-esteem, our very foundation.” ― Cheryl Hughes

Favorite Dish of Pope Francis – Bagna Cauda Recipe

January 14, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 5 Comments

Pope Francis has moved people’s hearts and touched the lives even of the non-Catholics and the non-believers throughout the world. Throughout his life he has been noted for his humility and concern for the poor.

We wish him a wonderful visit to the Philippines this week. His Holiness Pope Francis will bring his message of “mercy and compassion”.

In honor of the arrival of Pope Francis I wanted to highlight one of his favorite dishes. It is Bagna Cauda. This is a specialty of the Piedmont region of Italy, where his family immigrated from.

Fig Mediterranean Restaurant -A Must Try in Makati

January 12, 2015 chaddavis1primedforyourlife 8 Comments

Here is a very Primed friendly restaurant worth putting on your To DO list for early 2015.

Fig is a new Mediterranean restaurant along Kalayaan Avenue (near Howzat!) in Makati.

It was my pleasure to have a really nice lunch with triathlete Mikel Antunez last week where we both thoroughly enjoyed our food.

The ambiance is cozy, the restaurant is well lit with natural sunlight and there is an open kitchen where French Chef Patrice Martelly creates great dishes. Eventually they will also incorporate the 2nd level which will be ideal for private parties.
