Unilab Run United 3 2011 – Race Results Discussion

I have finished my 32K run although I experienced knee-pain in km 14. I started late again from the gun-start but I’m hoping to finish it in less 3:20 based on my chip time. Kudos to organizer – runrio…
It would have been better if there are lots of supply of powerade drinks. Going back from baclaran towards finish line, naubos na mga energy drinks, puro water na lang.

Congratulations organizers and runners, well done RunRio!

suggestion lang, sana next time organizers can came up with a route na hindi gaanong makaka-cause ng major traffic to the motorists and even sa mga runners, i know it is easier said than done but probably coordination with the MMDA and local officials can help.

anyhow.. it’s a great event and a great run…. congratulations to all!!!

it was a great run…less than 2 hrs ang time ko eventhough it was my first 21k run…not bad…see you ol in 2012 leg series…xexexe, schedule in march, july and september…excited na ako…

yes! Finally nkasurvived s 32k..

They ran out of powerade. I was counting on it! LOL! Glad I ate 4 muffins last night!

Nagutom ako. Walang banana. =(

it was a great run, as expected. so far, i was able to complete the runrio trilogy two years in a row. pahinga muna ko sa rio races. pamahal ng pamahal e.

worth it ung training,food, supplements and vitamins ko for my 21k debut thks run rio and unilab….

well done run rio….kaso lang no portalet along roxas blvd….thanks to sze schuan restaurant for allowing me to use their toilet..

ok yung race medyo kulang lang sa energy drinks… me nakita ako kanina me inaaway na naman yung bouncer ni rio…. bakit ba ang laki yata ng galit ng mga bouncers nya sa runners

I funished the race 32k in 3hrs. 26 mins.tinago yata ung powerade. Walang saging.

grabe traffic kanina noong start ng 32km, mga bus at jeep ayaw magbigay

Hooray… Got my new PR here…

I hope the cheaters feel guilty. Ba’t ba kayo sumali hahaha great run though

My first time for 32k… 4 hours and seventeen second. Congrats to all finisher and sa mga organizer din po!

congratulations to all finishers! You are a true urbanathlete… sobrang challenging ng race to, kakaiba. sana dagdagan ang obstacles next year.

Had my first 21k, i was able to finish at 1:52, no bananas but overflowing drinks. Good that i had hershey dark chocs in my pocket. It helped a lot.

nice run!!^ ^

ask ko lang c/o my friend. may nakakaalam po ba kung pano makukuha ung sabi ni limited edition na t-shirt if u complete the trilogy? nag email ako sa runrio wala reply, baka may makasagot dito para masagot ko din ung mga nagtatanong sakin. btw another success to team rio. more run to come. run safe. tnx

I finished 32k and took the finisher kit but was’nt able to check whats inside. When i got home i was looking for the finisher shirt but i can’t find it, is it not included yet or wat?

kulang ng 1.8K yung 32K ko. kaya pala sub3 ako. Nung pabalik na, turn right agad ako sa seaside blvd. derecho pa pala edsa yon tapos turn right sa Pea Road 1 then left na sa seaside blvd. kaya pala nasa right side ako ng seaside blvd nung malapit na sa fin line. napasabay ako sa 21K runners. badtrip talaga

it was a very hot weather..dami tuloy nag cramps…okey naman ang hydration station but the weather is really terrible!!!!…but everything from the start to beginning very very succesfull..definitely unilab trilogy will be on top of my list for marathon….

Finished my 1st 32k @ 4hrs & 29 mins. Ang masasabi ko lang iba pala talaga ang 32k sa 25k! lahat yata ng klase ng sakit ng katawan naramdaman ko :)

my very first 21k. my god ang init at ang bagal ko. nakakahawa kasi yun mga naglalakad ang sarap tingnan. hehehe a very organized event definitely next year mas maganda na.

nice event… next year ulit compltuhin kung ung tatlo….

To Coach Rio good job.yung init kanina sobrang nakakasira ng pace. pero i know its part of the challenge. Congrats sa mga officemate ko na first time mag-run.

@bheng different booth ang finishers shirt, rightmost ng finishers kit booths

hi runners,

question lang.. how does the timing chips works? i have my FB and CP configured but i didn’t receive any online result.

tnx sa sasagot…

had a great run at 15km.. yun nga lang walang banana, sana the organizers anticipated that and considered it before the event.. saka pwede po ba babaan ang reg fee?? kasi ang mahal considering na ang dami naka reg, diba dapat magging mura yun?? masyado na kasi commercialized eh.. thanks rio organizers. :)

problem of the run this morning was the supply of the hydration…..specially the macapagal ave. area, naubusan ng water and it’s really too hot on that area…

nagagalit yung nasa water station sa kin… bat ko dw pinapaligo yung mineral water… hehehe…

Congrats to everyone…

question lang sa 32k runners? may sign ba na straight ahead sa pabalik na ng moa sa kanto ng macapagal at seaside blvd? sa part kasi na yon ako naligaw at napasama sa route ng 21K runners, turn right agad sa seaside blvd

Kudos to the race organizer! Another great event by runrio…
Terrible weather though… so hot. Medyo malayo lang rin ang pagitan ng mga water stations towards the end, or so it seems dahil maiinit lang talaga.
After race was fun too.
Hope for an even better race next year.

FUN!! and very tiring ang 32k, grabe :))) my first time to run that distance
loved the event so much although I received a 21k finisher’s medal :(
Thank you very much RU3 :)
this event is very memorable :)

beat my PR for 21km..

Kunti ng hydration puro tubig, wla man lng pocari o saging sa ibang hydration…pangit p ng mga booths, la man lng ibang giveaways…

Dis time i’m not satisfied

the trilogy shirt will be given during the runrio trilogy awards night :) at least that’s how it was last year. antayin niyo na lang ung invitation.

Wow, it was my first 21K run, and excited kanina. Buti nalang natapos ko yung race in 2 hrs. 30mins. Nakakatuwang pagmasdan yung medal. Im proud to myself.

Rest mode…not happy sa hydration…

Not happy sa hydration

Di gumagana yung notification ng bazusports. dati, automatic meron SMS, twitter and facebook post agad upon crossing the finish line.

Kinulang kami sa powerade, puro water na ang available, sobrang init pa naman and we need to replenish the lost electrolytes. the run as usual is superb.

Bitin hydration…tinipid hahaha

event was well organized. pero sayang walang saging. maraming nag cramps..

@argus,
how was your 1st half-mary?

@all
congrats to all finisher! =)

Congratulations to all runners! This is my first time in running in 32k category. Kudos to Runrio!

CONGRATS TO ALL 32K FINISHERS!!!

NAHIRAPAN AKO SA 2 PATAAS NG FLYOVER :(

Powerades were still available in other water stations, but crews were hoarding them. Tsk tsk. Water was overflowing but was not even cold. Overall, it was a great run. My right foot though aches a lot, the long pounding of my first 32K..

Sana sa susunod walang flyover.nakakangawit eh.. hehehe..

Had top my last record of 15K

@elvin meron signage doon sa seaside cor macapagal… nung nakita ko kasi na may dumidiretso pa, sabi ko sa sarili ko parang di ko na kaya kung didiretso pa… but when I see the signage na 32k straight and 21k turn na sa seaside… para akong nabunutan ng tinik :)

ayos ang. wla ngang banana. buti may baong choco mucho.

I was expecting meron ulit ipammigay na power gel na madali ng mag expired along the route for 32K runners, at saging na DOLE.. hahaha. wla pla nagutom ako sa takbong yun ah… Ok ang patakbo d2 sa manila, yun nga lang pamatay ang polusyon…

my first 15K!!! as expected the best talaga runrio.. kaya lang tama nga yung isang comment .. pamahal ng pamahal..:)

@Mye: ah ok thanks.

puro 21K runners kasabay ko nung mga time na yon and lahat sila turn right na sa seaside blvd. wala na kong nakitang runners na dumerecho pa. my fault na din kasi hinde ko nakita yung signage, basta ko na lang sinundan yung mga runners sa paligid ko. tapos mukhang hinde rin ako nakita ng marshalls, baka natakpan ako ng bulk ng 21k runners. i finished at 02:51 pero 30K lang yon. 03:00 to 3:05 time ko kung 32K tinakbo ko. naka-dalwang GU energy gel ako, laking tulong sa kin. nakakuha pa ko ng Alaxan shirt in the fin line kaso XL lang yung size

san makikita mga pictures?

i survived 32k my first time to run that distance pero very tiring ang hirap at masarap kpag finish line na..bakit wlang energy gel at saging nagkaubusan ba ???

dapat kinumpleto nyo ng puro tubig nalang.. pinatakim nyo lang kami saglit ng powerade tapos ubos na… -dismayado. * napabili tuloy ako ng softdrink maiba lang ung iniinom ko… :(

yung waterstation lapit sa baclaran church
kulay canal na yung siniserve na tubig.. baka isa dun nainom ko kaya sumakit tiyan ko..

wala pang saging. kakagutom.

next year sana di na maulit..

Wlang portalet….

Nice 32K run @ 3:40. Though mainit pero ok lang. naligo na lang ako ng distilled water…

@elvin ok lang yan… naligaw na rin ako once sa race I think Run for Japan, nakaka disappoint lang hano? hindi ka tuloy naka PR..

excited sa results :)

first time magjoin ng kids q s fun run na 500M nakakadiappoint lng n wla man lng tubig na nakaantabay s kanila ..tas ung finishers kits nila kung san san p kmi pinapagpasapasahan..not happy at all ..d tulad ng Run United dati s taguig..

ginutom ako sa mga nagbebenta ng pagkain sa may manila bay. dapat pala nagdala ako pera. hehe

@barefootdaves

I survived 21K bro…2 hrs 55 mins!..although at first 2 kms, my left knee got hurt..but tolerable..my pacing is just 165 bpm until 10km..then run/walk for the last 11km..slow pace is the key!..that’s why i survived through the finish line..

I’m doing good right now..and satisfied with my performance..i’m so proud in myself even though in took me 3 hrs..but the most important is i achieved my goal..and that is to cross the finish line and to get the finisher’s shirt and medal..

I want to thank those persons who gave advices..it works for me…

My plan now is to make my time shorter..Need more trainings!!! :)

Run United Leg 3, thank you, it is indeed a great and memorable race event for me. Hindi ako nagkamali na dito ko itinakbo ang aking kauna-unahang 21K Run. (“,)v

@Mye: nakaka-disappoint talaga. tuwa pa naman ako kanina kasi sub3 yung 32K ko. yon pala 30K lang pala natakbo ko

My first 21k and my worse run. I can hardly walk now. Hahaha!

sana may portalet every 5k…

…manila bay smelled like crap… just sayin’

had a fun fit sunday!:))) the race was perfect although the singlet is kind of itchy!:)) nevertheless, the organizers did a very good job!

although the route is great but lacks hydration especially the last 2K, POWERADE AND BANANAS WHERE ARE YOU!???

A good run for me and my pangga! I was looking for the bananas haha but then again i enjoyed a lot. Kudos to Unilab !

ngmail na po ba ulit ng finisher’s certificate & baller id para sa run united 2??? thanks

Congrats to all of us … Great and super hot run… Let us now wait for the run rio invitation concerning the awarding of the limited edition technical shirt for those who was able to complete the trilogy… Run happy and proud! :)

naiba yung design ng free shirt,thanks nga pala sa marshsall.late ako kanina pero yung mga marshall nag-guide sila,thanks

grabe sobrang ihing ihi nako..sana meron mga portalet..pero sobra saya unang run ng 21k at natapos ko ng hindi humihinto..yeah!!

napakainit ng run… 2hours ko tuloy nakuha ang 15K… pero orgabized sya infairness

Daming nandaya kanina e, imbis na dumaan sa flyover sa ilalim dumadaan para makashed ng ilang minutes sa time nila, yung mga marshals naman dedma. Tss. -_-

for me this is the worst runrio event that i’ve joined. wlang hydration (or kng mayron man wlang powerade) sa last 10 kms nng 32k kya ang daming nagcramps … ang ang bad trip pagbaba mo ng EDSA flyover may mga sasakyan cla na pinayagan na dumaam kya pra kang nkikipagpatintero sa mga trucks and buses (this is the same problem during the milo marathon)… i hope magawan nila ito ng paraan pra hindi malagay sa alanganin yng mga runners … FYI, mayrong mga banana dun sa water station sa tapat ng grepalife building, i think gnawa nila yun pra sa maging exclusive lang sya sa mga 32k runners.

hindi dapat pinagsabay ang lahat ng events in one day. the result was a monstrous human/runners traffic the whole stretch of roxas blvd. woe to all runners gunning for fast times or pr’s. parang tumatakbo sa giant maze. better if nagstick runrio sa original 2-day event.

overall tho, the race was good. was able to hurdle 32k in sub-2:30. excellent final long run before the milo finals. from now on, it is tapering time.

congrats and more power to all runners!

2nd time to run (10k)…
nice run… saya!!!
thanks =) next year ulit

1st 21K! it was a great experience for me! good job run runrio! till next time!

congratulations to all RU3 finishers, Livestrong guys! RU CDO this coming Nov27…go,go,gooo!!!

where pala makita mga pictures during the event? any links or yun mga photographer baka meron sila. share nyo naman sa fb..thanks!

Tipirin nyo na lahat wag lang hydration.. makakapatay kayo ng tao guys.

Not satisfied.

astig runrio first 21k 2hrs 17mins.
sayang sumakit ng husto both knees ko kaya kailangan ko mag slowdown and walk. still ok pa din.

congratz sa lahat ng runners.

thanks God din kasi safe tayong lahat na nag run and good weather.

safely finished 21K, thank you, Congrats to all finishers…..

nice event….

i just came from pampanga just to attend this event, it my first time to run 10k ang im glad that i just do it.. and i did it..

Good run, overall, but below par, considering it’s a runrio event! A lot of comments were already made regarding hydration, food, & traffic control; and I agree with them. But I would like to suggest for the organizer to put at least a few time monitors on some km points, so runners will have an idea on their split times, specially for the longer distance category…pang level up Lang! And yea, better km markings for each race category too.
Anyway, congratulations and more power.

I was expecting that the 21K route has banana station since I only ate one along Buendia. I could have gone down early without the power gels that I brought along which I consumed around 16km and 25km. Good thing I had ate tapsilog 2 hours before the race.

Compared to last year’s 32K event they were giving out Hammer gels.

@jc, salamat d ko na napansin sa sobrang pagod gusto ko na kz makauwi kaagad at magpahinga. charge to xp na lang. tnx.

congrats to all runners and thanks to runrio and unilab! next year uli…

kinulang ang powerade sa last 10K ata ng 32K…laki ng gutom ko approaching 20K, wala man lang saging! :(

finished and survived the 32K with no injuries, no pain! ganda ng training ko, thank you Lord!

Sana sabay abot ng medal, may kasamang pandesal at banana…pang replenish man Lang ng energy pauwi! Para masulit ng konte ung reg fee :)

i completed the 32K run and the unilab race support was reasonable. but im wondering why there were NO BANANAS! i felt shortchanged by this unfortunate incident. :-(

if you need to go, you have to go during the race…there will be situations where you will need to pee on your shorts… you can do it discreetly when pouring yourself with 2 cups of water at the water station… you really need to bring your body temp down to avoid cramping up… that’s why i have avoided the full leg compression gears… just wear dark shorts… i cant imagine finishing a race holding your urge to pee… not good for your system and concentration…

Good 32k run despite the intense heat sa latter part of the event. Nathan 21 and QCIM 42 on deck. Congrats to all finishers and TY RunRio! By the way, in case you guys want some info on a safe supplement we use to minimize cramps and hasten recovery, send me a message over at [email protected]
