1st Race for Faith

Sept 9 2012 beside CICC 5:30 a.m.
14k 2 hrs 6 min(estimated time since the timer wasnt working BOOO!)
Its 10:23 in the morning, i just finished the fun run and did some laundry washing. I'm exhausted so i'll just say what pops into my mind.
Its the first time I joined the longest distance in the fun run which is 14k. Sad to say, I didnt receive anything special, freebies or something, for finishing the longest distance in the run. I'm really disappointed with this. Okey, so there's no medal,  how about a finisher's shirt? or loot bag?..
Bad thing: No distance markers. Lack of direction guides for people like me who are not from mandaue. Map route wasnt included in the race kit. I tried to listen to the route instructions but something happened to the microphone. TIMER wasnt working. No Certificates. Photobooth wasnt able to accomodate  everyone who wants to have a souvenir pic. NO Power daw! BOOOO. No raffle.. why oh why?
Didnt have the parched throat attack but I had a side stitch attack. I got hungry at the last hour of the run so i just kept on drinking water. During the route, the 3k and 6k got mixed with the 14k runners, this was the time i was totally separated from the 14k group. I really hate it when this happens.
Good Thing: Lots of marshals. Lots of hydration tables. I didnt skip the hydration table, I think there were seven of them but there was no water at the starting line. Food (pancit canton and bread courtesy of lourdes catering). I was so hungry i ate the pancit using my hands. When the pancit was almost gone, that was the time i noticed the plastic fork...bwahhahah.  Thank God they didnt run out of food, I noticed there was some styrofoams left.
Memorable thing: I was the last finisher. There were actually 4 of us who were last but i guess they gave up.  When i crossed the finished line, the emcee announced my  race bib number as the last. I must admit it was a letdown, I've never been the last before.  But  on the other hand, I was happy the marshals escorted me halfway during the race. I would have gotten lost without them. Was I too slow? Was there too few   14k runners? Was it the shoes? I dont know, If my calculated finish time is correct, its consistent with my pace last VCMC run. There must be something here in mandaue that makes my run slower. Next week, I'll wear my adidas shoes for the run in fuente osmena and ayala. Lets see if my pace is still the same. BTW, I decided this will be my last race in mandaue for this year, unless something good comes up like unilab or globe. But I'm not gonna register in the longest distance in the run, being last feels weird. I do plan to register in CDU run next year but only for the 13k run.
Will I join the second race for faith, if there is one.. DEFINITELY NO.  The food may be filling but I cant forgive them for not giving something special to the 14k finishers..I mean c'mon..no goodies...grabehhh
Additional content: If u see the word "1st Race/Fun Run"...be prepared for the worst. I'm sure there will be palpaks during the run since the organizer is a newbie. Next week, Philsan's 1st fun run (hooyboyyy, now i'm scared.)
