I woke up at 2.30am this morning and fixed myself to meet Ivy Macainan in Manansala Tower. That morning we decided to drive all the way to clark.

I also met BaldRunner while i was having warm up session.

As planed, aldz and i will leave aiias at 3.30am. we were suppose to take a public ride at 3am but aldz became the hero by bringing his car. we arrived in fort at 4.30am and that was too early. so i decided to have a warm up and stretching session.

i was talking with coach captain of team baldrunner when i saw wayne aka sfrunner approaching the booth with a brand new asics to be donated to donate a shoe project of baldrunner. nice to see you wayne.

i was hot and sweating when i entered the front of starting area. my running buddy, ivy macainan was there already. it’s been awhile i havent meet her. few minutes after that i saw baldrunner approaching the starting area, as usual, he was perspiring from a warm up an ready to rumble.

…and we were off

I finish the race in 1hour9minutes59seconds. I maintain 4.38-4.40 of my pace… despite of the lack of training in the past, i was able to finish the race comfortably. I placed 16th overall and 4th in my age category.
