About Me

My Photo
I am Vicente M. de Lima II. My family call me "Vicboy" but here in Manila, my nickname became "Macky". Why Bicolano Penguin? I am a Bicolano by birth and choice. By any standards, I am a slow runner, but I like it that way. I like to read books, too. The writings of John "The Penguin" Bingham, Jeff Galloway, and Christopher McDougall have inspired me. Local running blogs that I follow have been instrumental in encouraging me to run more. I look at running as a healthy and exciting way to make a difference. Together with my fellow runners from Ateneo de Naga HS Class of 1983, First Balfour, LCA 8379, and Bagobos83, hopefully, we use running to give back to the community.

ENERGY GELS FOR MY BDM 102KM ULTRA



I will run and walk for a long period of time in my Bataan Death March 102km ultra.  Roughly 18 hours or less. 

Key therefore is proper hydration and adequate energy supply. For my fuel supply I will be relying significantly on energy gels which are designed to replenish carbohydrate stores that are depleted when running. 



Fortunately for me, I have received a generous support from my favorite Bicolano blogger, the Wandering Jouster. WJ has given me more a dozen High 5 gels of assorted flavors for my BDM adventures.

Thank you very much, WJ.
