Kim Chiu is not only portraying a duathlete in her morning drama series “Ikaw Lang Ang Iibigin” on ABS-CBN.
She’s now also a duathlete in real life. The Chinita Princess has joined the Pilipinas Duathlon Series 2017 last Sunday held in Subic. Despite having asthma, Kim was able to finish the 6 kilometer run, 30 kilometer bike and 3 kilometer run.
If you aren’t fit enough, you won’t be able to finish the said race.
“Transition and strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t,” said Kim in a photo caption of her own struggles on the said race.
Prior to her duathlon event, Kim was previously rushed to the ER for an allergy. “Just finished my second duathlon race! At first I was hesitant to do the race because of my schedule, shooting and taping, team no sleep. I didn’t have the time to train for this leg of #pilipinasduathlon2017 but instead of giving up, I said to myself I’ll offer this race for my mama in heaven. It’s Mother’s Day today and I’ll ran with a purpose to make her proud of me. I know she’s with me during the race, I didn’t know where I got my extra energy to keep pushing, my mind says, “Tama na, pagod nako” but my feet keeps on pushing and pedalling nonstop and one thing I’m really thankful is wala akong asthma attack kanina. So amazing! Mama, this is for you! Thank you and I love you!”
