<p>MANILA -- Her teleserye &quot;Ikaw lang ang Iibigin&quot; may have ended already but it seems that Kim Chiu continues to embrace a healthy, active lifestyle.</p><p>Chiu, who played a triathlete in the series, joined her first duathlon race for the year -- even if she wasn&#x27;t able to train.</p><p>The actress, who joined her first-ever duathlon race last year with the help of her &quot;Ikaw lang ang Iibigin&quot; co-star Jake Cuenca, was among the participants at the Pilipinas Duathlon Series 2018 held in Clark, Pampanga last Sunday, February 25.</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/BfqRa0iHuIi/" data-instgrm-version="8" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:658px;padding:0;width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:8px"><div style="background:#F8F8F8;line-height:0;margin-top:40px;padding:50% 0;text-align:center;width:100%"><div style="background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5/P8/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC);display:block;height:44px;margin:0 auto -44px;position:relative;top:-22px;width:44px"> </div></div><p style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BfqRa0iHuIi/" style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by Kimberly Sue Chiu 🌸 (@chinitaprincess)</a> on <time dateTime="2018-02-26T12:49:47+00:00" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px">Feb 26, 2018 at 4:49am PST</time></p></div></blockquote><div><script async="" defer="" src="https://www.instagram.com/embed.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>“Trust yourself that you can do things you thought you can’t,” she wrote in the caption.</p><p>Chiu admitted that it has been months since she stopped biking and running outdoors and that she had doubts about being able to finish the 4-km run, 25-km bike and 4-km run.</p><p>&quot;The first run got me nervous after I passed the starting line dun pa lang nag-sink in &#x27;OMG nasa race pala ako!&#x27;&quot; she said. </p><p>&quot;I thought of giving up or go down and just push my bike upwards but I told myself &#x27;NO!&#x27; &#x27;It&#x27;s all in the mind!&#x27; &#x27;Kaya ko to!&#x27; Then I did it!&quot;</p><p>According to Chiu, joing the race was not about getting a podium finish. </p><p>&quot;Joining this kind of races makes me know myself even more. Every race I discover something new about myself. It pushed me to my limits, out of my comfort zone. I have to finish this thing on my own, my own body, my own mind, my own strength, not depending on anyone else’s ability. </p><p>&quot;Just like in normal life, &#x27;pag may problema ka, you want to give up. If nahihirapan ka na you ask help and be dependent to someone na akala mo mas kaya nila than you. But NO!!!! You can do it, just believe in yourself. </p><p>&quot;It may be hard in the mid part but nothing compares (to) the feeling when you reach the finish line with your head up high and get that finisher medal with people saying, “Congrats, nagawa mo!&#x27;&quot;</p><p>Chiu finished in 10th place in her age group category.</p><p>&quot;But one thing I also learned from this race is not to race if you didn&#x27;t train &#x27;coz that was hard,&quot; Chiu added.</p>
