1st Philsan Run

15k  official time is  2:30:10
September 16, 2012 Ayala Terraces


Its 10:50 am.
I am so glad  I survived this weeked, I just ran 10k and 15k back to back after I got sick last week. I was thinking of not finishing  the Philsan run but after passing the turning point, i just thought what the heck, just finish it, hinay hinay basta kanunay and i was doing that. Slowly and surely, just call me Ms. Pagong...hehe I dont care anymore as long as i  reach the finish line. I'm having doubts with the official time, i think my time is 2:15 minutes but i'm going to accept 2:30  for now. I will be running another 15K on Sept 30, lets see if the time is still the same.  BTW, this is the first time i used my newly purchased hydration belt, i really think this belt is slowing me down. I better not use this on the milo run.
The only good thing I can say about this run, aside from the fact that i'm so happy that i finished it, is that they have distance markers...yehey! okey the bad stuff: mahal ang registration fee. This type of  rate usually means there's a time chip, but no, the race bib is just an ordinary race bib, the singlet is just an ordinary singlet. The food is just 1 tinapay, and nothing else. NO DRINKS. NO CERT.  Masungit pa gyud ang nanghatad ug bread.. What??!!! no porkschops or bbq for snacks.??!!!  grabehhh... Where did the rest of my P550 go?  this is INJUSTICE!  Mas mahal pa mo sa timex and MILO. Lesson to runners out there,  ayaw ug pa-register kung mahal ang rate. makasapot jud kaayo. NEVER AGAIN philsan. Okey, Alvin Patrimonio was there, maybe he's the reason the rates are high. He's still cute btw , his looks hasnt changed over the years.
Observations:
1. Lesser number of participants in the 2 runs i joined. I think there's too many runs this september, maybe the runners are exhausted or got sick just like me.
2. I was faster last August (lower distances) compared to September.
note to myself: dont register in 2 runs during weekends. also, retire by october. papa-check-up sa doctor. Use the hydration belt on lsd's only.
