Finished at 1:03:47; 439th place out of 2110 other 10k runners. Not bad for my first time, not bad at all.

The race was great. There were lots of people but the water stations were enough to support the crowd. The addition of sponges and sprinklers was a welcome surprise. For me the best part of the 10k race was running along the Kalayaan to Buendia flyover at around 5:40am. It was so dark I can’t even see the road that I’m on. I just used the silhouettes of other runners in front of me as guides.

And there was ton of freebies after the race! Free Vitwater, 100 Plus, Herbalife samples, Coors Beer, Men’s/Women’s health magazines… I’m can’t remember all of the booths but the best one was definitely the free Selecta popsicles. Woot!! Oh, and I also got a 10k finisher’s medal (which I wore until I got home).

Now that that’s  done, my next goal is to get a sub-1:00:00 race. Hopefully I hit my target within the next two races.

BTW. Congrats to all the dolphins that got a hefty 400 thousand check because of this race.
