Y101 Armscor Run 2

August 26,2012 5:OO am Gaisano Country Mall
5k 47:38
Another long weekend of 2 fun runs. I filed my registration for the y101 armscor last july 15, thats why I'm doing  the 5k. I was kinda regretting it in the beginning coz they didnt give much details, the start/finish venue was moved and most of all they ignore my email and posts in facebook & twitter.

D day:  It was just another day, well at least i had more sleep this time, only the  alarm woke me up. I went down and ate some oatmeal. My throat felt sore so i took 1 strepsil to cool my throat. I was suprised that there were more people outsidewhen i went out, I wasnt scared unlike before. Anyways,  as expected, when I arrived at Gaisano Country Mall before 5:OO, the 21k still hasnt started. Compared to the Timex run, there were fewer funners, maybe becoz there was another fun run in Talisay. My estimate would be 600 plus. I guess this is becoz of the lack of registration venues and   no tarpaulins was posted at ccsc. It also doesnt help when they dont announce other details on facebook, just the same link again and again. During the run, my throat felt parched na naman..i'm really thinking of bringing my own water in the future, maybe ice water. When we turned to TESDA, my reaction was "ohhh this place again". Wala na akong ma-comment sa run, nothing really stands out, as usual i was left behind. Anyways, what i was looking forward to was the raffle prizes, major prize was 2 motorbikes, 1 for female and 1 for male ..they were also giving out 1 technomarine watch, 2 cellphones, rubber shoes and some gift checks. When they announced the female winner of the motorbike, I was walking slowly towards the puj terminal feeling like a loser again.  While looking at the signboards of the puj, the emcee suddenly announced that he was giving out minor prizes..whaaattt??!!! Still, I didnt go back to the parking lot,  I decided to listen to the numbers at the terminal...and surprise surprise..they called my number 1050..twice.. I leaped over the wall and ran like an olympian..my prize was a grocery basket worth about P500 ..wooohhhooooo I was so happy..sulit na sulit... now this fun run is memorable na..the first time i won in a raffle...Thank God.. contents: 1 big can of alaska milk, 3 small bottles shampoo (2 pantene, 1 loreal), 1 vaseline soap, 2 delata (pork and beans and meat loaf), 1 small can of milk and 1 junk food.. so happy its not spaghetti ingredients..magamit nako  gyud..
Snacks: 1 can coca cola lite, 1 meatroll.  Citibank was giving out a bag but i  had to write my name and contact number. Now i will be harrassed by them about getting a credit card.. 
Nega Part: When the 21k started, there wasnt any music. Dili sadya..nakulangan ko sa marshalls pero since  pamilyar ra ko sa  lugar, oks lang...also  NO Certificate.
Will I join the y101 armscor next year: ahhhh I cant decide right now. What really attracted me to this event was the raffle prizes. I guess swerte ko kay gamay ra ang participants maunang nakakuha ug minor prize. There's really too many runs scheduled  in cebu, the running community  are getting exhausted and and getting poorer hehe
next run: not sure pa sa VCMC on sept 2, but definitely CSC RO Run on September 8.2012
