MARAMI ang napabilib ni Kim Chiu sa katatapos na duathlon race sa Subic kamakailan. Hindi lang kasi basta finisher si Kim kundi napasama pa sa Top 10!
Kuwento ng isang loyal fan ng Kapamilya actress na nakapanood, nawala na raw ang dating hikain na Kim Chiu. Partida pa dahil walang training si Kim at first time pa lang sumali sa duathlon.
Tuwang-tuwa raw na ikinuwento ni Kim sa kanila na kinailangan lang niyang maniwala sa sarili niya at hindi ‘yung nakadepende lang sa iba.
Sa Instagram post ni Kim ay binanggit niya na ilang buwan na niyang inihinto ang biking at running.
“It’s been months since I stopped biking and running outdoor, doubted myself at first if I could finish the race, 4km, 25km… Four km sounds easy but the first run got me nervous after I passed the starting line, du’n pa lang nag-sink in. OMG nasa race pala ako,” banggit ng aktres.
“The bike course also got me, never ending UP HELLS to the NTH level!!! Thought of giving up or go down and just push my bike upwards but I told myself, ‘NO: its all in the mind!’ Kaya ko ‘to! Then I did it!!!” kuwento pa ni Kim sa pamamagitan ng kanyang IG account.
Marami ang nagtatanong sa kanya kung bakit kailangan niyang sumali sa naturang sport.
“People asked me why I join this kind of sport, do I really want to get that podium finish? I said NO, joining this kind of races make me know myself even more, every race I discover something new about myself.
“It pushed me to limits out of my comfort zone, I have to finish this thing on my own, my own body, my own mind, my own strength, not depending on anyone else’s ability,” patuloy pa ng special someone ni Xian Lim.
“Just like in normal life, ‘pag may problema ka you want to give up, if nahihirapan ka na you ask help and be dependent to someone na akala mo mas kaya nila than you. But NO!!! You can do it, just believe in yourself, it may be hard in the mid part but nothing compares the feeling when you reach the finish line with your head up high and get that finisher medal with people saying ‘CONGRATS nagawa mo!!!!!’
“Finished 10th place in my age group category! Double tap on the back self but one thing I also learned from this race is not the race if you didn’t train coz that was hard!!! Hahahaha (thanks for reading my long caption, hihihi),” masayang pagbabahagi pa rin ni Kim sa kanyang achievement sa pagsali sa Pilipinas Duathlon 2018.
