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.

A Primed Lifestyle is about eating optimally to maximize the nutrition for better mind and body performance.
It is also vitally important to ensure your food and beverage does not cause inflammation in your body and that you support and promote healthy gut bacteria.
Here is a power breakfast (suitable for lunch and dinner too) that is a perfect combination of energizing and satisfying saturated fat, protein and gut healthy probiotics. You can add roasted squash, spinach, cucumber and carrot batons if you wish to add healthy carbohydrates. For more power breakfast recipes see my article here for http://www.swimbikerun.ph.

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.

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.

Have Holiday Fun Without Getting Fat
Holiday excess! Two words we do not like at all. We all usually come home with excess baggage around our butts and waistlines from our holiday excesses. This is a usual occurrence after a great vacation where we return heavier than we left due to over-eating and drinking, and not getting enough exercise and/or sleep.
Here are a few hints on how to have a great holiday that could leave you a little lighter in body, enriched in mind, and save you some cash as well.
