There are a thousand and one articles on how to finish an IRONMAN; here's one on how you can't. With less 23k km's to go and almost four hours of racing left, numbers which any relatively trained athlete can finish any given day of the week, I tapped out of IRONMAN Taiwan and DNF'd for the first time in my racing career.
Frankly? I deserved it.
This article has been in pending status for months now. For some reason, I just couldn't finish it. I'll make futile attempts, but end up just browsing around into the nothingness of the internet.
It's not because I didn't want to share what happened to me during the race, but because this piece meant a whole lot more.
I told my Ironman Taiwan 2016 batch mates that I wouldn't share this story to anyone else. But I needed an out.
I lost my Dad last October 8, 2016. Yes, just a few days after I got back from Ironman Taiwan.
It was the saddest day of my life.
But that's just one part of the story.
Calling the attention of the race marshal to inform them about my decision to DNF was one of the toughest decisions I've ever done in my life. Yes, some may dismiss this as nothing compared to other life changing decisions, but I've never DNF'd before. I've always taken pride in the fact that no matter what the triathlon gods threw at me, I always found a way to dig deep and finish the race. And I have over 50+ races finishes to prove that.
My family has a funny gauge as to whether I'm really sick or not. If the point comes that I personally bring myself to the hospital, that's their cue that I'm REALLY sick.
There were also a lot of times during the race when I played mind games such as the "lamp post to lamp post" trick. The way it works, to get your mind off the hurt locker, you make yourself run from one lamp post to another and after that, you walk until the next one. It's basically like the run / walk method, but what it does in an IRONMAN, it breaks the monotony of the run and "resets" your form. If done correctly, it's actually faster than running all the way with tired legs.
But that was truly it for me in that moment. I gave it everything. The tank was empty and all my matches were burned. I got close, but it simply wasn't enough to last the entire race.
I had no more power left. My vision was getting blurry and I can feel whatever little energy I have left in my body, get pounded away with every step.
It felt surreal. I wasn't cramping or anything. But I was toast.
"You still look OK, Sir!" said the marshal on the scooter when I asked her to take me back to the finish line. Little did she know that I already threw up 2x.
I proceeded straight to the recovery tent as soon as I got back, asked for two bags of I.V., gathered myself, and called it a day.
What's funny is when I was talking to fellow Pinoy's and athletes in the recovery tent and they were all congratulating me. Until the awkwardness of me telling them that I DNF'd kicks in. =)
"Oh, sorry to hear about that". they said.
But I was completely fine with my decision. I made the best decision for my safety.
But that's just one part of the story.
It is in the waning moments of an IRONMAN when you'll really get to ponder about your priorities in life. As the seconds tick by, and the minutes fade, thoughts on "why are you doing this?" will really creep in.
Inside your head, your mind is telling you all the reasons in the world why you should stop, then all of a sudden, gives you all the reasons in the universe to continue.
It was a battle. And that, for me, was the problem. Because I came into this race already defeated.
They say ignorance is bliss, but having finished 4 iron-distance races in the past, I knew EXACTLY what it will take to finish the race. And I knew I didn't have enough.
To finish an IRONMAN, you must be 100% committed and locked in. There must not be any second thoughts and I approached this race like a soldier going into war with a gun without bullets.
I was severely undertrained, I raced half-hearted, and I knew that I had only close to 50% chance of finishing the race. That is, if everything works according to plan.
I was 35lbs off my racing weight too and all that I could rely on was my experience. Which ALMOST worked.
Close, but no cigar.
But that's just one part of the story.
Going into this race, I already knew my Dad wasn't in the best of health. He's been in and out of the hospital and his condition worsened every single day.
I went into this race with the hope of inspiring my Dad to fight. I thought that maybe if he knew I was doing an IRONMAN for him without any semblance of training, he'd get inspired.
And so I raced. But I raced for my own selfish reasons as well.
Adding a 5th IRONMAN finish to my resume really didn't matter that much. I've accomplished everything in sports that any teenage couch potato could ever hope for.
I've raced enough to last me a lifetime.
But I wanted to suffer for him. I wanted to experience his pain in my own little way. I wanted to sacrifice myself to the triathlon gods with the hope that maybe, just maybe, he'd get a little break and get better. And what better event to do that than in an IRONMAN.
I had no idea about the pain and torment that he's feeling inside his body. His body was slowly shutting down. We can see it, the doctors know it, and he knew it. But I couldn't see past the fact that just a few months ago, we went out, had a massage, and did our usual thing together. If there's one thing about my Dad, it's that he never let his sickness get in the way of having the opportunity to go out with me or with any member of our family. Everyday, we can see that he was getting weaker. But he never acknowledged it. Part of us decided to shrug it off as well as you hope against hope that the medicines will work and that he'll eventually get better.
Maybe he'd be well enough to be with me on my birthday for one last time? until Christmas? for one last massage together? Or the ultimate, until my wedding?
Being in constant contact with my family about my Dad, I never stopped thinking about him throughout the entire trip.
Having the best group one could ever ask for in an IRONMAN trip surely helped, but there were a lot times during the vacation when I would zone out and secretly teleport myself back to the hospital.
You do your best to be happy and be the funny guy.
But that's just one part of the story.
It wasn't until I reached the 2nd loop of the 180k bike that I experienced the most bizarre thing.
While on the downhill portion, I was on my aero bars trying to get as much free speed as possible. Then out comes a butterfly from out of nowhere and hit my helmet.
I just shook it off and continued to ride. But the butterfly stayed with me for a bit and hovered over my head.
It was at that point, when it dawned on me that maybe that was my Dad. But butterflies only show up when someone passes away right? So this couldn't be it. He just got a break and got out of the hospital.
But from then on, I started to get worried and just wanted to finish the race as fast as possible.
There were times on the hilly part of the the bike leg when the headwind and the heat got tougher and tougher, and I just rode thinking that, "My Dad is suffering so much more than this". So I savored every minute of the pain. I was mashing my pedals, I could feel the tension in my quads, I was gripping the aerobars tighter. I was getting my wish.
Inspired, I kept riding when another butterfly hit me again on my 3rd loop at the exact same portion of the bike leg.
Like before, the butterfly hovered and cruised with me for about 10-15 seconds.
I was stunned.
But that's just one part of the story.
It wasn't until I was on my way back to the hotel when the wife of one of the athletes who I'm racing with, approached me and asked me if there was something to be concerned about at home.
I got speechless immediately and the only thing I could say was, "Oh no".
She asked why and I told her about the butterfly incident on the bike and how it bothered me. It turns out my sister has been frantically trying to call me non-stop. She called some of my friends who then called the friends and wives of the athletes who they knew were racing with me. She was the first one to talk to me about it and offered her phone so I could call home. But it wasn't connecting.
It was at that point, that I really began to worry. Now, everything started to make sense. The butterflies, maybe it wasn't a coincidence anymore. Some athletes and supporters knew about it and saw me along the course but didn't want to inform me as they were thinking that maybe I wanted to finish the race.
I would have quit right there and then had I known. But I'm not blaming them.
I found out that the doctors already informed my sister that my Dad wouldn't be with us for much longer and if anyone wants to talk to him, while he's still relatively responsive, now's the time to do it.
They were calling me so I could say my goodbye, but I couldn't be reached as I was racing.
I immediately went back to the hotel and ran towards my cellphone as soon as I entered our room.
I saw 30+ missed calls, and with roughly around 2 hours to go until the cut off time of IRONMAN Taiwan, as the participants were crossing the finish line, I got to spend some of those precious hours talking to my family and my Dad.
Had I finished the race, I would've gotten that 5th medal but that would have been the most meaningless medal of all.
Medals gathers dust, but what I got because of my DNF was two more hours of meaningful conversation with my Dad.
He wasn't that responsive, he can only nod but in our own mano-y-mano way, we got to talk and say our goodbyes.
I asked him to wait for me 'till I get back. Which he did.
He was put on an artificial ventilator a few minutes after we talked.
And he passed away just a few days after I got back.
I will never forget that moment.
And the missed calls? It was the exact same time when the 2 butterflies hit me in the head and rode alongside me. The calls continued until the batteries of my cell ran out.
And that's my IRONMAN Taiwan story.
You will never, ever, be ready for an IRONMAN, but you can surely prepare for it. So, to someone out there who's racing for the first time, maybe you could learn a thing or two about my experience. I like looking at glasses half full, and what better way to take a little positive out of a negative than to share this with everyone. Just train enough, respect the distance, and you can finish it.
I've kept this private for so long, but we're moving on. I'm moving on.
This post is dedicated to my #TraGuzman Family, the PAINHU Boys, the IRONMAN Taiwan Suckling Pigs, Aleta, and to strongest Ironman I've ever known.
I love you, Pops.
This is my out.
Thanks for reading.

UK has almost 1 Million Zero Hours Contracts
Office for National Statistics reveals 440% increase in number of people on zero-hours contracts since 2010.
GMB union today commented on new data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showing the number of people on zero hours contracts rise to 905,000 in December, contracts, a rise of 100,000 on the previous year.
The figures show a masive 440% rise in people on zero-hours contracts since 2010.
Tim Roache, GMB General Secretary said:
"The number of zero hours workers is on course hit a million. In the real world, zero hours means zero certainty. Zero security. Zero ability to plan your life, your future, your family's finances because from one week to the next, people don't know how much is going to be on their next pay slip.
"People deserve more certainty and control in their working lives, not getting their hours texted to them the day of their shift, with no ability to plan around caring responsibilities, public transport or having any kind of a social life.
"This figure ties into a wider problem of insecure work in the U.K. - millions are toiling away on agency contracts, zero hours contracts and in bogus self employment. Not six months ago, the Prime Minister promised an economy that works for everyone. It's a political choice to let this be the status quo for working people. A choice she is seemingly happy to make."
Contact: GMB press office on 07958 156846 or at email@example.com
[1] New ONS data just came out - the number of people on a zero-hours contract rose to 905,000 in October to December 2016, a 101,000 increase on the same period in 2015:

The Kokatat Icon is an absolute innovation, with its performance and durability surpassing any other dry suit I have tried before.
At first I was dubious about the shoulder zip, having ever only had the girls leg zip before but I needn't have worried (at all!) as the suit was super comfy and 100% dry! Paddling in it was easy as I had complete flexibility and control throughout. I particularly liked the zippered chest pocket (very convenient) and the Gore-Tex socks.
As a female whitewater paddler I found the suit to be very lightweight, further adding to the key selling points of the product as time and time again I have found gear to be heavy and constricting.
Kokatat have fine-tuned this product to the max and will make it hard for boaters to look anywhere else!

Scoliosis is a lateral curvature in the spine. When our doctor looks at a spine he will be able to tell if it is straight or not. Patients with scoliosis have a spine that is curved. The diagnosis typically takes place when patients are children and teenagers when they are growing, however, adults can also have scoliosis that has not been diagnosed.
If scoliosis is left untreated in children it may lead to future health problems. Even minor cases of scoliosis can lead to degenerative disc disease and spinal osteoarthritis as an adult.
Adult scoliosis can create problems with your balance, and a reduction in height as your spine bends. In adults, long-term scoliosis will lead to unleveled hips, which can cause degenerative changes and arthritis.
Chiropractic care is a non-invasive treatment that is proven to help children and adults that have scoliosis. Dr. Gutierrez will gently adjust your spine to bring it back to its normal position and provide you with recommendations for home care.
If you have any questions regarding scoliosis diagnosis and active treatment, or would like to schedule an appointment, contact us today. We look forward to assisting you or your child!

WHAT IF THE PLUMBING LEAKS WHILE YOU'RE AT WORK?March 19, 2018
It's important to know where the water shutoff valves are in your home. Should the plumbing system spring a leak, it's an inconvenience, but you can certainly go to a dedicated shutoff valve (located beside the toilet, sink, or fixture it services) or turn off the water to the whole house to stop the flow of water and then call in a plumber for help.
Of course, if a plumbing leak occurs while you're at work, there's no way to know about it, and no one home to shut off the water. What can you do in this situation? And is there any way to prevent it from happening?

If you're looking for examples of argumentative essays, then you will most likely want them to be of the highest possible quality. Therefore, it is best to try and find some that have been proofread before being published online. If you find some that haven't been proofread then it may not necessarily help you when it comes to learning more about the structuring and formatting side of things, as well as a general understanding of any content involved.
Alternatively, some students wish to find proofread examples so that they can use them as they are, without having to make many adjustments to the work. Of course, this may seem like an easy approach to take; however, there are plenty of dangers involved as students can easily be called out for plagiarism.
Whilst there are numerous argumentative essays available online for free, not all of them will be of the highest quality. In fact, many of them may have been written by substandard writers, as well as people who don't necessarily have English as a first language, all of which reduces how useful they will be to you.
Unfortunately, for students that are looking for work that is available for free, there is certainly no guarantee that any work will have been proofread. Furthermore, proofreading is a difficult skill and, unless it's been carried out by a professional, it may not have been proofread effectively. The fact that the work is available for free online suggests that whoever wrote will not have gone to the expense of hiring a professional to proofreading work.
Having said that, there are some resources where free papers can be found that will most likely have been proofread, such as the websites of universities and colleges. It may be that educational establishments decided to publish good quality examples to help their students.
If you want really good examples then you're most likely to find them on sites offering services that you have to pay for. In fact, there are plenty of writing agencies available that offer the possibility of buying prewritten samples, as well as having bespoke essays written for you. The latter option means that you can have the work completed based on any requirements you may have, as well as having it proofread by the professional writer before it is sent back.
If you need a professional assistant, be sure to try the following time-proven sources you can count on.
Don't buy essays online - simply write your own and it will be honest.

Mizzou Women's Golf Continues to Shine this Summer
COLUMBIA -- While it is still the offseason for Mizzou Women's Golf, the Tigers have not stopped competing. Four student-athletes, Taylor Gohn, Laura Kraft, Kate Gallagher and Alina Rogers, all participated in the Pure Silk Women's Collegiate Team Championship at Wedgewood Golf and Country Club in Powell, Ohio. Incoming freshman Kat Hepler is also on the course this week as she is competing in the PGA Junior Championship.
Hepler is currently sitting in a tie for 24th in the PGA Junior Championship, which is being held at Sycamore Hills Golf Club in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Hepler is currently in playing the fourth and final round of the tournament with a total score of 8-over-par. She came out strong in her second round of play as she scored a 70 (-2) after finishing the first round 6-over-par. She carded a 75 in the third round of play as well.
Also this week, Gohn and Kraft placed 20th in the Pure Silk Women's Collegiate Team Championship while Gallagher and Rogers finished right behind them in a tie for 21st. The 54-team tournament field is comprised of players from all levels of collegiate golf including Division I, II and III programs. The teams followed an alternate shot format on the first day of play followed by a best ball format on the second day. The third day of play was scored using an aggregate score of the two players.
Gohn and Kraft finished 13-over-par, improving their game throughout the tournament. The two started off the tournament with a 10-over-par first round score, but came back to finish 7-under-par on the second day. The two combined for a 154 in the final round.
Gallagher and Rogers also stepped up to the plate in the final rounds as they started off with an opening round score of 88 (+16). The two finished just 1-over-par in the second round and combined for a 143 in the third round of play to close the tournament just 16-over-par in a tie for 21st place.

Hunts for Warriors
Imagine yourself in a foreign country, at a young age, away from trusted family and surrounded by enemy fire after an exhausting 24-hour call to duty. That's exactly what happened back on March 27th, 1966 at Tuy Hoa, Republic of Vietnam. Named as a local Hero, Glenn Pearmain, a Utah Soldier was honored for this Vietnam mission unloading vital ammunition and supplies from his helicopter while dodging Viet Cong gunfire. Glenn earned the Army Commendation medal at age 21. While serving as a crew chief of a helicopter carrying supplies to combat troops of the 101st Airborne Brigade, Glenn Pearmain, and his gunner unloaded the helicopter cargo in an area where intense enemy gunfire was keeping the U.S. troops pinned down, and out of ammunition. Most of the enemy gunfire was directed at Glenn and his helicopter, with total disregard for his own personal safety while carrying heavy crates of ammunition to the troops. Glenn's actions were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Army, and his heroic actions rendered a successful mission with no casualties. Actual photo from the first helicopter returning from the Tuy Hoa assault, lost one helicopter that day which is the reason for the smoke background at Lighthouse Mountain. Glenn Pearmain averaged anywhere from 15-20 hours of daily flying support and medivac missions which included picking up wounded and dead soldiers. Between November 1965 to November 1966, Glenn was shot down 3 times, lost an engine and ended up in the Rice paddies (photo below), and wounded 3 separate times. Fast forward 51 years and more than 7,000 miles away, the Safari Club International Utah Chapter was privileged and honored to extend our gratitude to this well-deserving Vietnam Veteran. Glenn Pearmain, 72 years of age is an avid outdoorsman and enjoys hunting but has never been fortunate enough to harvest a Rocky Mountain elk. This would soon change. The first evening, scouting for elk resulted in a positive and refreshing attitude, this hunt was for real. Several decent bulls were seen but for the time being, it would have to wait until the next day. During the evening dinner, Glenn shared Vietnam memories which some were difficult for him to fully express. The next day could not come soon enough, and early that Saturday morning Sept 30th, 2017 it all came together. The weather and temperature could not have been more accommodating, warm with a bit of overcast and brisk fall atmosphere. The plan was to position a small group of spotters on a popular rock pile for locating any elk. End of the rut season had the elk restless and still bugling which if you have ever hunted elk, is quite exciting. It was not long until we started spotting elk, mostly cows for the first part however as the morning progressed the bulls became active. Two large bulls could be seen from several hundred yards away but with maturity, they kept themselves hidden showing only their massive racks above the cedar trees. The second group, including Glenn Pearmain drove ATV's down the road to a better advantage location. With the elk bugling, it was exciting to locate several good bull elk while communicating between the two hunting groups on 2-way radios. By this time, both groups had spotted the same two large bull elk hidden in the cedars, and noticed two other bulls in the same vicinity and closer in range. Glenn's physical mobility is not what it used to be however, the heart-pounding excitement did not stop him from positioning himself for a better view. It was not long afterwards, 8:05 AM to be exact, that a sharp crack was heard from Glenn's 270 win-mag rifle. An impressive one-shot display of marksmanship at 170 yards, Glenn harvested his first elk. Scored at 320, a beautiful 6×6 elk in the Southern beaver mountain range. Despite his physical condition, he accepted the extraordinary challenge because of his love for hunting. A veteran doesn't need to be physically injured to have his or her head in a dark place. The outdoor experience makes you realize how much more life has to offer. That's plenty of reason to consider taking a veteran hunting. Hunting is positive therapy for Military Warriors. Spending time with Glenn while harvesting this magnificent elk was an amazing moment, not only for him but everyone involved. To see the smile on his face, emotions and gratitude is very hard to explain. We are the ones who need to be thanking him for letting us have the privilege of hunting with a true hero. Congratulations Glenn and well done, thanks for your dedication and service to our country. We owe a great deal of thanks to all of our veterans, and at the least make them feel like rock stars for a weekend. These men and women have given so much and their families have sacrificed as well. The more we can do for them, the better off we all are. The Safari Club International Utah Chapter would like to extend our sincere thanks to Royal Point Ranch and his brother Jeff Pearmain for making this happen and a hunt to remember.

Pvc dog bed – the dog to lie down and allow him to stretch. Locate parts wider and longer than the dog. Using those spots, measure a square to accommodate the length and width dogs. Make the lines as straight as possible. Add 3-6 centimeters per side. Then cut the PVC pipes to the measures you have taken. Cut two pipes to match the width is measured and two tubes the length is measured. Cut four pieces of pipe 4 inches long for the legs of the bed. Cut the fabric for the dog to rest on. Add 2 inches to the measures of all sides of the bed and cut the fabric so that it is twice as big as the bed. Then apply glue board inside the doors of the lower three-way corner connectors. The doors are holes in the bottom of the connector rather than in the form a "V" at the top. Insert the pipes leg into these holes and apply another ring of glue around the outside of the bottom of the tubes. Side PVC caps on the bottom of the tubes.
Paste the inside of the side doors on the corner connectors and slide the tubes for side doors. Allow the tubes to set for about 30 minutes. Raise the bed frame and place it over your dog, to control the size. After that fold the fabric in half and apply the adhesive fabric inside the crease, around the sides. Press the tissue together to form one piece, which makes it twice as loud. Leave the fabric adhesive to dry for 10 minutes. Then place the fabric on the floor and set the bed upside down on the fabric. Fold each corner of the fabric under the corner of the frame tube. Do not bend over the pipe of pvc dog bed. At this point, the angle of the 3-way connector is visible, but the sides of the connector will be covered when you fold the fabric on the tube.
Pull each side of the fabric on the frame and PVC stretch each side to make the fabric tight. Screw a screw every three centimeters into the bottom the pipe of pvc dog bed. And the last is turn the base of the dog and practice five screws on each top corner. The screws are placed one centimeter from the edge of the fabric and are evenly spaced angle. These screws must be screwed into the frame to hold the fabric in place.toddler mattress bed with canopy, decor amazone, green throw, horse themed nursery, kids bed canopy, pvc pipe dog bed

*New updated planners available here
I've added a new Homeschool Daily Planner for 2012 to 2013. You can download it free from my homeschool page.
I view this planner as my child's educational resume. This is where I keep track of everything that he accomplishes during the year. At the end of the year, it will be the first thing I include in his yearly school portfolio outlining the days he attended school, the schedule we kept, the curriculum we studied, books we read and other activities of educational value.
I like to laminate the daily schedules and use a wet/dry erase marker so I can re-use the pages and easily make changes when needed. I also realized that there were many things we did together, like baking bread or making yogurt, planting herbs, traveling, attending a cultural event, etc… that I wasn't documenting as "school". So I've added a page to keep track of those real-life learning experiences as they occur. Hope this is helpful to some of you!
