Negrense Julie Uychiat is an international-class marathon runner. This year she will take on the World Marathon Challenge 2022 \u2013 seven marathons on seven continents in seven days. And yet, just seven years ago, Julie hated running. And only because up until 2015 she\u2019s had no running background.<br \/>\nSelf-imposed fear of failure went out the window when her sister urged her<br \/>\nto give running a chance, saying, \u201cIt won\u2019t kill you\u201d. And we all know what<br \/>\nhappens when something doesn\u2019t kill you.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14693\" src=\"http:\/\/kawaiibeautyandlifestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/received_407740604628474.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" \/>Stronger, Julie has since done almost all of the major world marathons \u2013<br \/>\nBerlin, Chicago, Boston, New York, London, and soon, Tokyo. And in<br \/>\nOctober this year, at the World Marathon Challenge, she will be running to raise awareness and funds for the children of Kalipay Negrense Foundation.<br \/>\nSynchronized swimming, now renamed artistic swimming because solo and duet events have been added to the traditional group performance, has attracted Negrense Giella Sanchez. She is a mover of the Garcia-Sanchez Swim School in Bacolod, the same Garcia-Sanchez family that has excelled for years in dance and performing arts. From these disciplines, Giella summons a balance of grace and skill.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14694\" src=\"http:\/\/kawaiibeautyandlifestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/received_1144978412899829.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/>Focused on this goal, the Garcia-Sanchez Swim School has formed an<br \/>\nartistic swim team with Giella as coach. She performs duet with her niece Carmina. Meanwhile, Carmina also represents the team in artistic<br \/>\nswimming solo category. The Garcia-Sanchez Artistic Swimming Team has<br \/>\ncompeted for the Philippines, reflecting the Negrense desire to step up the plate and live up to the challenge.<br \/>\nMTB DH is Mountain Bike Downhill. The Jumpong Hill Downhill Bike<br \/>\nChallenge recently held in Don Salvador Benedicto, Negros Occidental, was the first live event that Negros Season of Culture covered. We followed one of the racers, Lek Brodeth, the leader of the Cyclopaedia Race Team.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14695\" src=\"http:\/\/kawaiibeautyandlifestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/received_437288214921885.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" \/> Lek\u2019s journey to biking was totally unplanned but strewn with obstacles<br \/>\nthat came in quick succession, pushing the detours he made. But a knee injury and the pandemic lockdown had plans for Lek other than retirement.<br \/>\nThe lure of MTB DH adrenaline rush was just too much to resist. The<br \/>\nNegrense\u2019s passion for adventure does not fade. It may rest to heal, it may even morph, but for sure it will rise again.<br \/>\nText By: Alan S.
