Tri-Family!!

A photoshoot by a great friend and photographer Alexandre Carnieri!

In 1998, my father and I started to train together.

 Later on, Mom also wanted to have her own bike.

 It has created a lifestyle...

 Sometimes we combine the journey, sometimes the goals!

 Looking for the best from each day . . .

Mom says: "I wanna race an Ironman ..."

 Dad smiling says: "Just let her ..."

  Me: "Do as I say, not as I do."

Dad smiling says: Just let him...

Rare are the moments that we "train" along, but we appreciate to race together, each one in your goal (subjective) and in each age-group (objective)!

Thank you for the records Studio Gaea, @ Autódromo Internacional de Curitiba.

The Transition Challenge!

Hello everyone!

Today I am posting a very fun photo shooting I made a few days ago.
As on triathlons we must to be fast on transitions, Mr Turk challenged me to do it in a great style!!
From tailored suit, to swim suit in 8 seconds!!

I loved the challenge and the result follows below!
Thanks Mr Turk!!

Who’s That Man … In Mr Turk!

It’s a bird. It’s a Plane… no, it’s Mauro Cavanha, International Triathlon Superstar. Mauro is currently training to compete in The ITU World Cup in Colombia. His goal is to make the Brazilian Olympic Team and compete in his home country in the upcoming Summer Olympics.

In the world of triathlons there’s a lot of talk about “transitions,” getting out of your wetsuit into your bike gear, and from bike ensemble to running look. There are more outfit changes than a Lady Gaga concert. I thought I’d test Mauro on his transition from Mr Turk tailored suit to Mr Turk swimsuit. He’s going to have to work on his speed but his form was perfect.

Good luck Mauro!

Photo Shoot in Curitiba by Studio Gaea

A whole month at my hometown Curitiba, and it feels like no more than a week.

The days here are flying and I am very excited specially about running, as I was injured for a long time, and finaly I am being able to build the workouts volume.

I am doing this post in between some amazing pictures made by Studio Gaea.

 Alexandre Carniere, the photographer, its a great friend of mine and he was my training mate when I was taking my first steps into the sport!

 The images were taking in Curitiba, mostly at Parque Tangua, one of the postcards of my hometown.

Curitiba its a very touristic place, and I could really check how incredible this city is while my girlfriend was visiting here a few days ago. (I guess no one would ever do tourism on their own city just by themselves! :/)

 The cold and hot weather are alternating a lot, so I have been training indoor a lot, on an attempt to not get sick in between races.

 I am finishing this season in California, where I am traveling to on the next week.

 Next races on my schedule are: LATriathlon, LifeTime Fitness Tri, Fearless Tri.  

 See you out there!!
