My next challenge will be the Porto Marathon, 8th of Novemeber 2009, my target is to improve my PR done in this same marathon in 2004, 3 hour 18 minutes :)
I've invited all my good friends to participate as well: Calisto, Cesar, Rupio, Humberto, Pedro... in order to come up with team "Os Tesudos".
Let's see if they are men enough!!

Bali Triathlon - June 2009!!
Great fun!!
Me and Sandra had excellent time in Bali, the "peaceful" island, and I had a lot of fun at the triathlon. Definitely place to come back, maybe next year!
Bali is a big island with 3 Million habitants, 95% follow Hindu religion and maybe is the people that make this place so special, they are definitely different to the Buddhists from Thailand. In spite of so many motorbikes and chaotic traffic we could find quit and relax places: the beach at the night or morning, the temples and some of the restaurants.
Regarding the Triathlon, I did improve my time with 3:09 but very disappointed with the swimming, all my training didn't help much, I was almost the last to get out of the water, the bike was good, but very hilly and with the traffic couldn't take much risk and the running was quit good as well, overall I felt much stronger than Bangkok but only improved 5 minutes.
Regardless, we had great time, Sandra says this is much better sport to follow than the marathons and I agree, it is much more technical, all the small details count and we exercise many parts of the body witch make me physically much stronger.
Bali, next year will come back!!
