My Running (& other Stuff) Journal: St. Ignatius Run 2014

Venue: SRP San Pedro Calungsod Templete

21k 3:25

I just finished doing laundry. Its 11:30 a.m. and I'm tired and sleepy so I hope I can make this short. A year ago I promised myself not to join runs if the start/finish line is in SRP because I dont have my own vehicle. Since St. Ignatius run promised to provide kaoshiung bus service, I decided to break this promise and enter in 21k. Overall, it was an okey run, SRP was hot as expected, my first time go that far in Talisay. I was the last 5 or 6 runner, and the program was over when I arrived. At least they didnt dismantle the timer.
Some stuff I noticed.
No food or bananas stations. I thought every water station is sponsored from the students. They all look the same to me, although some of the water was cold. If they were offering gatorade in the water stations, I didnt see it.
There was a bit of rainshower in the beginning, but it was scorching hot by 7:OO am. After the turning point, I noticed fewer water stations, about 3. Good thing I brought my water bottle.
No snacks offered. They say Virginia hot dogs were offering free hotdogs. But I paid P15 for mine.
There were about 5-6 people behind me, 1 I overtook near the finish line because he was just walking. When I claimed my finishers shirt and medal, they said I was It was the last one. May cutoff daw...BOOO! I didnt read a cutoff hour. The poster stated all 21k finishers will received medal and shirt. Sorry for the runner I overtook near the finish line. I didnt know.
I only took 3-4 pics because I was in a hurry to catch the kaoshiong bus. Now, the distance between the bus and the templete is about 500-600 meters. I was almost halfway there when I saw the 2 buses leaving. GRRRRRR! Good thing a sympathetic runner whom I met in previous runs offered me a ride. Thanks kind Sir. Sorry I didnt ask for your name. Also thanks to the lady in Virginia Hotdogs booth for taking my pic.
