Hey guys, My sports life has just turned 360 degrees as of last week! As most of you know, my category in Paratriathlon is cut off from Tokyo2020. So… I’ve been thinking about a dream of trying for Winter Olympics in snowboarding, and my 1st opportunity just came up. It all happened faster than I wanted to, but I have been in touch with the Brazilian Snow Federation and the opportunity to get into the rankings presented itself and I had to [...]
I had a great time representing PossAbilites at the Long Beach Marathon. This was my 6th straight year competing in this marathon, and I always look forward to going back. This event has always been a great way for me to guage my progress over the years. It’s usually the first event I complete after a summer training period. Every year I have the same goal, improve my finishing time and become more efficient. I’ve been trending in the [...]
Season started again last month and it’s been swim, swim, swim.😊 Practice 5 days a week and the weather is perfect!
Fall is in full swing and this is usually the time of year when most people are winding down and preparing for the holidays, so it was a great personal success to end the 2018 Fiesta Island TT season on a high note! 😄 I have been training intensely on my indoor trainer for the last three months and there aren’t many races going on at the moment so I haven’t had a chance to gauge where my fitness is [...]
Pensacola Cycling Classic on September 14-15 was my last stage race for my racing season. I was my first time doing Pensacola Cycling Classic stage race and considering the level of competition that showed up to race. I am very pleased with my performance despite having made a few mistakes all the hard work and effort I put into my training kicked in and I performed just as I had trained. Mechanical issues and all. The first race was [...]
Greetings to everyone that follows Team PossAbilities! For those who are not aware, please refer to my post “Gold Coast World Championships Series – The 2018 Finals”: The sport of triathlon is taking a back seat (not my decision), so I decided to change sports, and I’m reaching out to announce that. I’ve been in touch with the Brazilian Snow Sports Federation and I have news: I am getting into snowboard racing!! There’s an indoor competition happening in early November, an indoor [...]
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to race in the St. George Marathon on Saturday in Utah and the Long Beach Marathon on Sunday in California. After winning the St. George Marathon the last two years, I felt the pressure to come up with a victory again this year. It was dark, cold, rained, and even hailed but I managed to come away with the win again. The competition was tough and we hit speeds in excess of [...]
Greetings! In early October I participated in the 2nd edition of the US Open Adaptive Surfing, my first surf comp where there was a monetary prize purse, $1000 for the 1st place! There were 80 athletes and about 15 countries represented. As much as I love surfing, I didn’t do well at this competition, only going until the second round. Surfing can be a frustrating sport, and even though I can hold my own on big waves, competing is a different story. [...]
