Used to be a smoker, heavy alcohol drinker, then from a golfer to a runner,then a cyclist, then turned into a triathlete. Never mind the swimming part, which is my weakest of all 3. Nevermind, I didn't become a US Naval Diver/SAR/SWCC/SEAL, but I still carry a nickname "Mr.Frogman". I am an amphibious machine that cross the finish line at Ironman Cozumel in 2010. My dream is to participate at the Ford Ironman Championship in Kona one day.

LA Cycling Day
Our LA Mayor, a.k.a. Mr.Telemundo. From the speech he is giving, this guy has a lot of charisma. I was going to ride with his group, but I got tired of waiting. These news reporters wouldn't stop interviewing him.
So, this is the day, 7-mile event that they set up in LA for cyclist. All free of cars, only cyclists, runners and walkers. LA the finest were everywhere, one officer even came up to me and ask me about my Look. At first I thought I did something illegal...lol. Normally, cops don't act that friendly. When I ran the LA Marathon, only the Fire Fighter guys were cheering. Cops were all standing there with their dark Oakley sunglasses looking like a mean prison guard. Nevertheless, I had a great conversation with him.
Gotta love LA. It's my home! Oh Brasil..no, this is just a Brazilian BBQ restaurant. It's the infamous farmers market at the Groove. Back to my training log.. 5 more weeks to go, and I am still dogging it..only 9-10 hrs per week of training. Next week, I need to double that amount.
