Triathlons in Cancun and Riviera Maya. A Triathlete's Road to Her Next 70.3 Ironman Challenge. Sunday, July 26, 2009. Calluses: The Quintana Roo Statewide Triathlon 2009. Little by little, they started to arrive: the experienced, those who were looking to qualify, the newbies. The tri start was late in coming. We stood in the wet sand, waiting anxiously for the whistle and when it finally did blow, all I could think was, “And if I don’t do it? Today I had my hair up in a bun, as a suggestion from my swim...

On Taking a Break: Chronicle on the 1st (All Terrain) Triathlon of Xel –Ha 2009. In the midst of the imminent arrival of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Ida, the torrential rains and the heavy doubt that the event would take place, the very first edition of the Xel-Ha Triathlon was held, as planned. Talk about a major training session. But I'll do it. Whatever it takes. The minutes passed an...

Triathlons in Cancun and Riviera Maya. A Triathlete's Road to Her Next 70.3 Ironman Challenge. Tuesday, June 28, 2011. Undaunted and Ironclad: Chronicle of the VI Open Water 5 km Swim Bacalar 2011 (26 June 2011). It’s funny when indecision strikes. I wasn’t planning on doing this swim but now that I’ve done it, I don’t really remember why I didn’t want to. I suppose I felt I wasn’t ready. I suppose the Isla Mujeres-Cancun swim put me off. I suppose a lot of things. There were very few people in the stree...

Triathlons in Cancun and Riviera Maya. A Triathlete's Road to Her Next 70.3 Ironman Challenge. Tuesday, September 22, 2009. Whatever It Takes: A Chronicle on the 2009 Ironman 70.3 Cancun, Mexico. I believe you don't know what you're capable of until you do it. In the weeks prior to the event, the two people who I knew were going to do the Ironman were steadily growing nervous. The days previous were even worse. World champion Kona Ironman elite Michellie Jones was in Cancun. This was going to be a traini...

DNF (Did Not Finish): Chronicle of the Cancun State Triathlon at Punta Nizuc (3 April 2011). And nothing happened. It was as if there was an unspoken word that was said. One word makes all the difference. It doesn't take much. I took that as a sign to go on and continue. Just see how your knee feels after the swim and bike," Joseph had said. Like I said, it only takes a couple of words.

Time Trial Competition on the Route of the Cenotes, Quintana Roo (January 30, 2011). When I was a kid, my dad always used to criticize me for being indecisive. I couldn't make a decision without taking a good 10 or 15 minutes. He yelled at me all the time for taking so much time at everything. Dedos" (The Story B...

In April, Joseph asked me, “When are you going to start training? 8220;Eventually,” I had replied. He was referring to the 70.3 Ironman Cancun in September. My knee still felt a little weird and I couldn’t run 30 minutes without this strange pain in my left patella. But I felt heavy. I was 33 lbs overweight.

A New Hat: Chronicle of the 5th (and Last) Edition of the Cancun Ironman 70.3, 2010. The Thursday before the competition: I had just finished two laps swimming in the ocean and a 4x1000 meter run, when I was biking back home. I never saw the pothole. Needless to say, my bike made an interesting hat. For the first time in my life, I wasn't at all annoyed that a man should call me fat.
