floppydrive Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Congrats to all NatGeo runners! Congrats specially to the 21K runners who experienced a new kind of run - the RUN IN THE DARK CHALLENGE! Imagine everyone in black shirts, gun start at 4am then no lights for the first 3km! With added cones and marshalls without lights/reflective gear too! Ang saya-saya makabangga ng cones! Mapapamura ka talaga! The course was nice though. No more winding run within BGC. Bayani road to Heritage and back to the finish line was especially challenging with the hills. Not much hydration stations -about one station every 3km, so if the runner didn't bring a container, he or she would be hard put. I guess the organizers didn't anticipate the volume of participants because certain stretches of the course only had one traffic lane allocated for runners running in both directions. Hirap makalagpas sa mga naglalakad. The last stretch to the finish line was nice - you can see the finish line 1km+ away and it's a straight slightly downhill run. Nice! It was also an ego boost of some sort that 2km from the finish line, the 21 and 10k runners merge with the 5km runners, and that after running 19km, I could still run faster than some of the 5km runners. (well most 5km participants were walking by this point, but it's still an ego boost, hehehe) Cheers and on to the next run! Quote Link to comment

floppydrive Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Kaya natin yan. Training lang tayo ng endurance at sigurado matatapos din natin yan. I agree! Break it down into smaller segments and it won't look so long. Kaya natin to! Please remember to also practice nutrition/hydration intake. Malamang aabutin tayo ng mga 3:30 - 4:30 hrs dito. 1 Quote Link to comment
