A CASE OF RUNNING BURN OUT?

The best ever - SPORTS EYE By Raffy T. Uytiepo The Freeman >> The Freeman Sections >> Cebu Sports: "I knew Aileen Tolentino since she was 14 years old. She was just starting her career in my Nike Pharmaton 10K series in Cagayan de Oro. I also knew that she could beat Mary Grace Delos Santos who I think is now leading to a burn out, having participated in almost all the runs here. True enough, Aileen ended Mary Grace’s streak here as she won the race in 3:15:31 beating the Zamboanga native by 13 seconds."...

The Bull Runner: "The one thing that stood out in this race, which contributed most to its success but didn’t cost a cent, were the people. The warmth and hospitality of the organizers and Cebuano runners were felt all throughout. Spectators lined the roads and cheered enthusiastically. It didn’t feel like another big corporate-sponsored racing event, but a run to celebrate Cebu, its people, and"...

BEA MAXIMO: I WANTED TO SHOW THEM I CAN DO IT

FOR THIS FAMILY RUNNING TIME IS BONDING TIME

Published in the January 10, 2010 issue of Cebu Daily Newspaper

by Jonas Panerio, Correspondent

Rick Gabuya, Sports Editor

FOR all the intensity that is sure to envelop the prestigious Cebu City Marathon which kicks off early this morning, there is a refreshing concept that one family will be trying to imbibe into the event and it is, “A family that runs together arrives at the finish line together.”

Such is the running motto of the Maximo family as they wake up early today and participate in the first ever staging of the event. Headed by Jonathan “Maxi” Maximo, former president of the Cebu Football Association, he along with his wife Sheila and their three kids, 18-year old Ina, 14-year old Igi and 10-year old Ica, will not only be delighting themselves in the thrill of an early morning run but more so in the family bond that they forge as they share their passion for running.

Maxi and Ina, a varsity football player at the University of Sto. Tomas in Manila, will be running the half-marathon, a 21-kilometer stretch that the former has called in jest, the “Half-Mary.” The rest of the Maximo family will be running the five kilometer distance.

“I started running in 2008 and I have always tried to get my family to try it. You can really see the benefits of running but in this case, the family bonding is even more important. I'm just so delighted that all of them are running today,” said Maximo who informed that it was in December of last year where they all finally decided to go all in for the event.

DIFFERENT DISTANCES

Ina, who has been into football ever since she was a kid, will be trying to utilize the endurance that she has built playing the sport into finishing the grueling distance. The saving grace is that her dad will be right by her side every step of the way and her family will be cheering her on at the finish line.

“The challenge is there and I wanted my daughter to experience her first half-marathon in her hometown where she has family to cheer her on,” Maxi added.

He also said that his wife's foray today will be her first try at the 5K distance, where she plans to run the first three kilometers and walk the rest of the way. Ica, his youngest daughter and a student at the Sacred Heart School-Hijas, is into ballet but is also into running. Ica added that she plans to finish just ahead of her mom and hopefully not get lost.

Igi on the other hand, a football player at the PAREF-Springdale, is expected to run just ahead of her mom and sister and wait at the finish line, to take pictures of the family.

Maxi also shared this thought which he hopes will inspire other families to run together in future events, “I hope that through this event, people will see the bright side of exercise. The miracle isn't that we finished. The miracle is that we had the courage to start.” /Correspondent Jonas Panerio

TEAM Maximo of PaBolFC is indeed running for Cebu City’s public... roads!

We have beaten the deadline and there is no more turning back.

We are dead set for the most anticipated running event this year, the Cebu City Marathon 2010. And we will finish the race!

I’m so delighted that the entire family is into running now, an activity that not only benefits your health but can also be used as your bonding time among your loved ones.

A family that runs together... arrives at the finish line!

This sporting event should be fully supported by the entire Cebuano community. If others travel to other places to join marathons, there is no reason why we should not join our very own local event. Ato ni bay!

Ina, my 18-year-old daughter, who is now studying in Manila, wants to come home and experience this sporting extravaganza.

She wants to run her first 21K not in Manila, not even abroad, but in her hometown. The family members and her friends will be waiting for her when she crosses the finish line. Cool.

Fred Lebow, who started the now world-famous NY Marathon, once said, “In running, it doesn’t matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, ‘I have finished.’ There is a lot of satisfaction in that.”

As a parting shot, let me share this thought: “The miracle isn’t that we finished. The miracle is that we had the courage to start. And if I were a resident of Cebu, I should not let this moment pass. Let’s all join and enjoy the Cebu City Marathon!!! See you at the finish line.”

So what are you waiting for? Apil na ta!

UYTIEPO: RUNNING ALARM

Filipino ream - SPORTS EYE By Raffy T. Uytiepo The Freeman >> The Freeman Sections >> Cebu Sports: "With races being staged almost every week, two sometimes, runners will soon be on the losing end. Frankly, I’ve already stopped giving advices as it seems some runners just won’t listen. I’ve known of runners who ran two marathons in as many months. “Murag okay lang akong paminaw” was the usual response. I said yes, it’s alright for now, as it won’t affect you right away. I’ve also known of runners who gave me the same answers 3 years ago and where are they now? Some could hardly walk while some suffer an array of ailments. Worse, one is six feet under. I’m not scaring you I’m just telling the facts. Since we cannot control the runs anymore, just select one and try to get some rest. Even machines break down...

NAVARRO: BIGGEST WINS, EVENTS

Biggest wins, events of 2009 - BLEACHER TALK By Rico Navarro The Freeman >> The Freeman Sections >> Cebu Sports: "I can’t help but make a plug about the “silence” of local football. Don’t get me wrong. The football family is alive with activities, but somehow, they aren’t making any noise in the same way that boxing, basketball and the running boom are doing. Like it or not, I hope football’s leaders realize that if you’re out to grow the sport and want to contribute to building Philippine football, then you’ve got to make some noise."...

Senate inquiry on athlete harassment? The Philippine Star >> News >> Sports: "“The Games organizers must get consent and support of IFs (International Federations like the UCI) in order for their sports to be played,” said a former POC executive. “The IFs own the sport, they own the rules, they license and give authority to referees, they accept member NSAs and their athletes.”

No National Olympic Committee (NOC) in the world, including the POC, has the right to accredit an athlete to participate in the SEA Games or Asian Games or the Olympics without prior license from the IF. That was clear when the Philippines was not allowed to participate in basketball at the 2005 SEA Games because of the FIBA suspension – even if Manila hosted the event."...

Friday morning’s premier event, the junior 17-18 women, was hard from the gun and proved to be a battle between two powerhouse riders. Ultimately Coryn Rivera (Tustin, Calif./Proman Hit Squad) held off a tenacious challenge from Kaitlin Antonneau (Racine, Wisc./Planet Bike) adding a 25th Stars-and-Stripes jersey to her wardrobe at the ripe old age of 17.

RP CYCLING POLITICS

Cycling politics Sun.Star Network Online: "“I was talking to her (Bibit) this morning and she was crying because she told me that she really wanted to compete because she felt she has a big chance to win at least two gold medals.

Cojuangco admitted to mediamen covering the Games that he indeed talked to Bitbit, advising her to stand by her teammates and sign a manifesto withdrawing her participation."...

RP CYCLISTS BARRED EVEN IN PRACTICE RUNS

RP riders barred from competing in Laos Manila Bulletin: "Joey Barba, set to defend the downhill event of mountain bike, and Scott Remie were not allowed to run in the practice session in the afternoon.

The development cost the Philippines at least two gold medals since aside from Barba, Remia Bitbit is also a defending champion.

Philcycling chairman Arnulfo Taberdo, who acted as team manager, was emotional as he narrated what transpired during the team manager’s meeting held in the morning.

Taberdo said he participated in the drawing of lots and had the impression that the team would be allowed to participate.

It was only during the release of the cyclists’ numbers when Taberdo was told to wait for UCI confirmation.

'They told me to wait for their call, so I went to the mountain bike venue and waited for the call,” Taberdo said.

The run session was scheduled 2:30 p.m. At 4 p.m., Taberdo again inquired and was told to wait until Tuesday night if the cyclists would be allowed to compete the next day.

Exasperated over the turn of events, Taberdo told a UCI official present to decide once and for all if the cyclists would be allowed to compete"...

RP CYCLING. HENSON: DONT BLAME UCI

PHILSTAR. This case only proves that the POC is powerless in recognizing an NSA if the NSA isn’t recognized by its international governing body. The POC is, in effect, unauthorized to recognize an NSA unless the NSA is sanctioned by its international governing body. The implication is before an organization applies to the POC for recognition as an NSA, it must first be confirmed as a country affiliate by the international governing body.

Gaining POC recognition as an NSA is therefore meaningless unless there is prior clearance or approval by the international governing body...

If only we Filipinos learned to settle things amicably, if only the POC exercised its political will to solve the problem between the PCA and PhilCycling and if only national interest took priority over personal interest, the cycling imbroglio in Laos could’ve been avoided.

No, UCI isn’t to blame for the shame and scandal in Laos. Only the Filipino sports leaders themselves are to blame for refusing to give in to each other, for stubbornly protecting their turf like it was a birth-right, for insisting to hold on to authority without compromise and for disgracing Philippine sports.

Caught in the middle of this mess are the 13 cyclists who are the victims of an embarrassing civil war. They trained long and hard for the SEA Games. Because of the insensitivity of the country’s sports officials, the 13 cyclists will likely be reduced to tourist status in Laos...

RP CYCLISTS BANNED IN SEA GAMES

Bitbit stint in peril as POC runs out of time The Philippine Star >> News >> Sports: "“If I were to race alone, I’ll do it. I’m used to racing alone,” said a teary-eyed Bitbit in Filipino after learning her 12 teammates were officially out of the competition. “ But the hardest part is coming over and not being able to compete. That’s bad for our morale.”

“We were told that everything is okay, that all of us would compete – iyun pala hindi,” said Bitbit, the lone UCI license holder in the team."...

WHAT TO EAT & DRINK ON THE ROAD

All sportsmen/women now what it’s like to get hungry and to get the “knock” or the “bonk”. When this happens you get weak, those pedals are so heavy, your head gets light and you can’t stay with the pack. It can happen to anyone and anytime, but normally to the under trained or those who have not prepared properly for either a hard ride or an event.  Read more @ http://www.bikecyclingreviews.com/Eat_Drink_on_the_Road.html
