The Next Step Kids Triathlon Camp
We recently held a kids-only triathlon camp in Treveia, Alveo Nuvali. This was our last camp for The Next Step Tri Camp Series as we held four other camps for adult triathletes this year to prepare for various races.
The last one turned out to be a really fun event attended by around 25 kids, and we could see that apart from learning cool new triathlon stuff they also wanted to get in some good old hard training sessions. We did a lot of drills and technique work on the first day, and on the second day we had mock races, including a fun triathlon team relay!
We are definitely going to have another one of these kids camps again, what a feel-good weekend!

Super Sprint Triathlon Relay Events a new trend in Asia
Asian Triathlon Championships Team Events
Team Relay Events which consist of really short distances are the exciting new addition to the upcoming Asian Triathlon Championships this weekend.
The teams are composed of 4 members: 2 males and 2 females. Each athlete completes a 250m swim, 7km ride and 2km run one after the other. This is a new format that was introduced in the Singapore Youth Olympics last year, and was included in the ITU Team Triathlon World Championships in Lausanne this year.
You can see the related articles when you click on these links:
Our Pinoy Relay Team will consist of Nikko Huelgas, Neil Catiil, Lc Langit and Kim Mangrobang. Tomorrow they will be racing the regular individual Standard Distance formats and on Saturday they will participate in the relays. Pray for them guys!

Team Relay Event in IronKids Nuvali October 30 2011
At Ironkids we have decided to include our own super sprint triathlon relay format as well, not just because it is trendy but also because it is a very good chance for your little ones to get into the sport. A lot of kids want to join but for one reason or another can only do one or two out of the three sports of swimming, biking, and running.
Our Individual Events will push through as always but after all these are done we will have the Team Relay Event. Those who have raced in the Individual Events are also welcome to jump in again and be part of a team!
Mechanics:
- Team of 3: 1 Swimmer , 1 Biker , 1 Runner (Mixed, may be male or female)
- Team members do 3 lots of the following:
Swimmer swims 50m, Biker cycles 3k, Runner Runs 1k - On the 3rd round the Runner goes to the finish line.
- All team members must be between 6-14 years old.
- Top 5 Teams will be awarded prizes.
- IronKids Relay Race will be held after the IronKids Individual Races. Participants from the Individual Races may register for the Relay Event as well.
Schedule of races: 6-8, 6am/ 9-10, 6:30am/ 11-12, 7:15am/ 13-14, 8:15am/ Team Relay, 9:30am

Making Children’s Lives Better, year 9
Every September, Gabriel’s Symphony Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping children facing various challenges in life, holds a 12-Hour Multi Sport Event to raise funds for its cause (http://gabrielsymphony.com/). As always we planned a whirlwind of activities for our participants and supporters, including a swim-a-thon, bike-a-thon, adventure race for kids, aquathlon and triathlon for kids, run races, soccer and martial arts demos, and a small expo area.
A lot of people showed up to help including The Younghusband Football Academy, Triathlon Association of the Philippines, P.A.V.I.C.Philippines, Hyundai, and local age group teams and triathletes like Arland Macasieb, Nonoy and Joyette Jopson, Maiqui Dayrit, Willy Chiongbian, and Hans Kristian Juan. Kristian biked for 12hours straight, his 5th year of doing so, and Maiqui, who does an Ironman during the event every single year, actually qualified for Kona this October and will bring the cause of Gabriel’s Symphony all the way to the World Championships!
My favorite parts of the day of course, were the kids races. I am so proud of the participants for wanting to help their fellow children in need. (to read more, please click this link: http://teamtimex.timexblogs.com/2011/09/04/making-childrens-lives-better-year-9/ )

We have also been helping indigent children develop their potential, such as the children of Daang Hari and Marillac Hills, some of whom have shown potential as runners and athletes.

PAVIC Run Clinic for the Blind
A couple of weeks ago I gave a run clinic for some blind kids and teenagers competing in the National Paralympics. It was my first time to do such a thing and the best way to describe it would be: eye opening. The clinic was organized by PAVIC, which stands for Parents of Visibly Impaired Children, and Pinay In Action.
I learned so much more from them than I was able to impart I think, but it was a good way of sharing. I would love to go back and work with them some more in the future!
