Unilab Run United 3 2012 – Results Discussion

twas a good run! i got injured but nevertheless i tried to finish and finish strong i did!

maulan na takbo ang saya. basa ang sapatos ko :)

Very well organized run, adequate hydration stations, enough bananas and portalets along the route. The weather was also conducive to the long distance 32K run, providing cooling relief with the intermitent light rains and winds.

Runners just need to keep an eye on the road for potholes and rain puddles, specially during the early hours when some stretches of the roads were so very dark.

Everyone got soaking wet, but it was enjoyable and memorable!

from start to finish di huminto ang ulan,pero sulit prin ang takbo.nbreak ko ung PR ko ng almost 4mins.SALAMAT SA LAHAT NG NAG ORGANIZE.

Yes! I made it! It was a wonderful wet run for the first in run rio runs…

Everything was perfect and well organized BUT sayang medjo natarnish na naman yung run ng issues with the finishers’ shirts.

I was hoping that issue would never happen again since I assumed natuto na sila when it hppened the first time.

By the way significant improvements from previous RUs 1) lighting on Kalayaan flyover 2) they had a customer booth.

This RUN3 is so much fun. We were not stopped by the RAIN!!!
Congrats to all RUNNERS!

I thought it was a great run. Andaming hydration stations…..may saging pa. nakakatuwa kasi nag32k ako na walang dalang bottle….hehehee…isa lang ang napuna ko…..may mga daan na walang ilaw. medyo nakakaworry bilisan ang pagtakbo kasi may mga lubak yung daan

Dadalawa nadaan ko hydration station bakit ganun? buti na lang umuulan kahit papano di ganun kauhaw… sad thing is there were rectangular trash bins provided by RunRio Organizers para tapunan ng basura pero madami pa din nagtatapon ng plastic cups sa daan… Sayang umulan could’ve enjoyed the booths and programs… Ngayon lang ako tumakbo soaking wet it was fun! Till next run!

I still dont have a finisher shirt grrrr….

Ang hirap pagpawisan!

enjoy!! see you all sa 42K! ask ko lang sa organizer, san puwedeng kunin ang visor hot?

it was a good run,till now masakit pa buong katawan ko for 32k,good job rio..suportado ko lahat ng event mo…thumbs up.

Congratulations to the Organizers! A very successful Run!

My First 32K and it’s sub 4! The best ang Run. But there are still un-educated runner who just throw their plastic caps and banana peelings in the road. Lahat naman po tayo may pinag-aralan. Hoping that this will improve next time.

Ang ganda ng experience ko kanina. mag alas 5 AM na ako dumating late na late na sa gun start ng 21K. wala nang katao tao sa starting line. Biruin nyo ako lang yata ang tumatakbo sa kalye. Buti na lang after Kalayaan naabutan ko ung last pack. Then after that dami ko na nilagpasan until finish line. whew! it’s all worth it. pero naubusan na ako banana gutom na gutom pa naman ako. napansin ko lang me mga big rectangular trash cans pero bakit hindi naman ginamit ng mga runners. dun pa rin nagtatapon sa daan. talaga nga naman. well, aside dun ok naman. nakakuha ako ng XL size shirt and the best thing is nakumpleto ko na ung 3 Medals. Yeeheey!

my 1st time to run at Run Rio event, I would say It was a very beautiful experience and well prepared event. Aside from these, my 1st time also to run while raining , astig !!! ang sarap pla tumakbo ng naulan ….

See you next event ,

First time ko mag 21K ang ganda ng time naka below 2Hours ako salamat sa pinoy fitness LSD nakatulong ng malaki… na noticed ko lang masyado yata mabilis clock ni rio sa finish line dami ko nakausap iyon din napansin nila…. masyado malaki difference. Congrats to all runners…..

geat 32K run. What an experience.

naubusan na naman ng Finisher shirt. nakakadalawa na si rio ah.
sabi sa booth binaha daw yung supplier ng finisher shirts kaya kulang ang supply.

FYI sa mga walang Finisher shirts.
Sa RU2 1 month hinintay bago naibigay ni runrio yung mga shirts.

Ngayon kaya?

Buti pa yung mga nagbabaklas ng stage around 12:30pm, 4 yung naka finisher shirt na 32K.
Runners kaya yun ? ? ?

Waterproof kung waterproof!

Enjoyed the run! My first 21K and my sis’ and niece’s first runs (3K). The rain never stopped, nor did the fun!

Yun nga lang sayang ang program dahil sa ulan. Ganda pa naman ng lineup – Imago at Sandwich live! Pero di na’ko nag-stay long after claiming my freebies.

Congrats, Unilab and Runrio! See you next run!

congrats s lahat ng runners basa kung basa pero msaya na mhirap kc mbigat ang sapatos at laylayan ng jogging pants ko ,pero ayos lang kc mlamig s pkiramdam ang patak ng ulan,kya lang on d way nkakita ako ng blat ng saging sino n n nman ang di na ntuto sa pgtapon sa tmang lugar?sana sa susunod eh mtutunan n ang tmang pagtatapon ok po ba!

panalo sa pagka-wet lahat ng runners! ngyon lang ako nakatakbo sa ganyan kalakas na ulan, usually mild ambon lang ung ibang runs na natakbuhan ko (ambon na, mild pa! haha!). sobrang sarap ulit magtampisaw sa ulan!

@bsp, baka hindi nila alam na may trash bin sa dulo, nasa dulo kasi. ako nga nagkamali pa, dun ko shinoot sa orocan na katabi nila ate at kuya, kala ko basurahan, haha, late did i see na meron palang basurahan sa dulo ng hydration stations.

super enjoy yung run kanina..my first 32k! Ulan kung ulan !

maaga ba nagsimula ang 21k? used to be 430am. or late ang relos ko hehe. i arrived BGC at 355am. nag-aayos pa ako ng mga burloloy ko sa katawan then i heard nagco-countdown na LOL. did not have time to warmup. simula parking..takbo agad papunta sa start line then diretso na hehe

as always, it was an organized event again for runrio. kudos to coach rio, the marshalls, hydration crews, the police and sa atin mga runners who brave the rain!! at congrats sa mga may bagong PR….like me ;)

@honeybels,@Emjay:
nakakadismaya noh? nilakihan na nga ang basurahan at isho-shoot na lang..dami pa din kalat.

Wow what a wet run! It helps a lot to cool down the body temp but the problem is the shoes are soaking wet. So hard to run w/ wet socks. Added weights din kc every strive. But its a good run. Its like unlimited water supply everywhere by just opening ur mouth during the race. Sarap din pala ng combination ng poweraide and rain water. Hehe! If not for the rain, i dont know wats going to be my run time for my 1st 32k. I did it in 4 hrs 6 mins. Sayang my target is sub 4 but its ok. Atleast im safe crossing the line w/ no injuries only muscle pains. 42 k kaya o back to 21 k and lots of training? Hehehe! Run safely guys! Good job unilab and runrio team! Dami ko nakain na saging! Yum!

Congrats sa Runrio at maraming salamat sa mga taga Sigue Correr Runners yata yon na naglagay ng omega painkiller sa tuhod ko.

the best

my first time run on rain! its great and break my record again with 10k. hindi man lng ako napapagod compare sa normal run na walng ulan.

Pwede naman kasi itapon sa tamang lugar ung mga plastic cups, an laki laki na nga nung trash bin eh… dapat ata gawing 500 meters long ung trash bin eh! ahaha

@Lexi, me point ka dun. next time siguro ung mga tao sa hydration stations eh dapat sila na magsabi na sa dulo itapon. pero ung malaking trash bins naman eh iannounce ng runrio kaya alam ko at dun talaga ako nagtatapon. kaya kung me nakabasa eh dapat eh isupport na lang natin ung ginagawa ng runrio to address ung clutter sa daan. hope sa next run eh maminimize na ung mga kalat na yan.

Issue noon, issue pa rin hanggang ngaun!!!
bat ung mga 21k runner kasi, binigyan nyo ng 32k finisher’s shirt?? tapos kaming mga 32k ang naubusan??

pag cross namin ng finish line, wala man lang kayong ibibigay na tubig, tapos papipilaahin nyo kami agad sa customer service??

wala na kayong ibinigay na finisher’s shirt, binasa pa ninyo ung mga bag namin sa baggage counter.. lahat basa pati ung mga extra shirts namin na nasa bag.

magbibigay kayo ng unilab na bag, basa pa!!!

pasensya na, pero kahit na napakasayang tumakbo sa ulan… nkakawalang gana ung madadatnan mo sa finish line!!!!

HOY!!!! loyalty shirt namin nung last year!!!!!!!

“By the way significant improvements from previous RUs 1) lighting on Kalayaan flyover”

Nung milo nila unang ginawa yan. Mas nakatipid dahil 1 generator na lang ang ginamit. Tapos hindi pa nakakasilaw

Eto yung mga observation ko kanina
1. Zero traffic. Naayos na ni rio yung mga issues sa congestion na nangyari nung ru3 2011. Maganda na talaga ngayon
2. Bakit sobrang aga? 3am ang gun time? Sa milo 3am din pero full naman.
3. As usual on time gun start
4. Overflowing hydration at dami saging
5. Sana yung arrangement sa water stations, powerade yung unang kalahti tapos water yung sa dulo. Hirap kasi kailangan mo munang tingnan kung ano yung laman ng baso. Pwede rin kung iba ang baso ng tubid paraadaling makita
6. Mala milo yung conditions kanina perfect, kaso ako walang wala sa kondisyon
7. Naibigay na medal sa akin 21k buti na lang at napansin ko agad. Akala talaga nila 32k yung hawak nilang medal, baka meron nang nabigyan ng mali
8. Ganoon din sa finisher shirt, may naihalo na 21k shirt sa mga 32k. Nung nag claim ako may nagpapalit

Hindi man ako naka PR ngayon, masaya na rin at nakatapos ng walang issues. Huling takbo ko mid august pa tapos ngayon walang ensayo. As in 0 mileage. Nagtesting lang ako kung kakayanin at huwag tularan hehehe. Ayan off ako ng 30sec sa pace ko last year.

Pero next week, sana mag peak na ulit ako in time para sa rexona. Kailangan ko ng keychain!

parang naging obstacles course yung daanan sa mga hydration station dahil sa balat ng saging sa daan.

Power aide ULAN flavor. Hahaha!

Pero sobrang saya ng event na to! First time ko mag 21k at hindi na masama ang 3hrs na PR! ^^,

pagbigyan kung hindi na kita ang trash bin sa 1st hyd station. pero gang last hyd station hindi pa din makita? hindi na pagkukulang ng organizers yun. nasa tao na talaga yun.

Anyways, sarap pa din ng takbo at nabuo na ang medal. Ilabas na kung magkano ang Philippine Marathon para malaman na kung tatakbo pa or hindi na. hehe

big event pa din naman kapag ang runrio ang nag organize,un lang ang mga marshalls mga bago na naman ata,,at kung san san lang napulot ni coach..andun ka na sa baggage counter nagtuturuan pa sila..ms madaming palpak ngyon..due to rush?well..nagtipid ba? sa 32k baggage counter 2 ang tao?hehe..ang kilometers mark naliligaw,,tanungan ng tanungan kung ilang K na.pano ung mga walang gps??? ang hydration nung nakaraang ru every 2k sobrang thumbs ups ngyon every what K nga ba? nasan ang mga marshall takot mabasa?? pdeng pde na mag cut off ng distance..ung sa magallanes intersection ongoing pa din sa pakikipagsalimbayan ang mga sasakyan at ang ambulansya..nasang kilometer mark 16 o 21K????at the best yung fin shirts priority..SANA WAG KAYONG MAG PAASA SA MGA TAONG NAUUNA PANG MAG PAREG AT KAMPANTE NA MAKAKAKUHA NG TAMANG SIZES YUN PALA NI ISA WALA…AT ANO?ipapakuha nyo sa opisina nyo?todo perwisyo kami po ay nagbabayad ng reg fee makasama lang sa run nyo sana po respetuhin nyo din kami..

Its my first 32k run and finished 4:15 … I enjoyed running 32k hopefully to run my first 42k this coming october

Sarap ng feeling..kahit maulan sarap tumakbo..very organized..first time sa 10k distance 1hr and 5 mins..ndi na cguro masama tong PR na to..

see you runners at RUPM.. :D

We had so much fun! Rain from start to finish… Two thumbs up for a well organized run. Thanks Runrio and Unilab :)

this was my very first half mary! ang saya lang tumakbo under the rain.

bet na bet ko yung takbo sa may kalayaan flyover, lalo na pag natatapat sa ilaw ng poste tapos bubuhos yung malakas na ulan. ang lakas lang maka-MTV moment.

i could say that runrio is still one of the best run organizers to date. kaya dito ko napag desisyonan tumakbo ng aking unang 21k.

kudos to the organizers and congratulations to all the finishers lalo na dun sa naka buo ng trilogy medal.

keep running! :)

no km marker anymore, 16km lng yta huli ko nkita…but nice run

RU2 is better than RU3.

congrats to all finishers! hope to see everyone in RUPM :)

no km marker! I got XL finisher shirt instead of XS. so disappointing. Sana di nalang sila kumuha ng sizes at the time we register kung di man lang masusunod. ggrrrr..Excited pa man din ako to wear my 32K finisher shirt because that was my first.

It was nice to run under the rain with friends, didn’t see a banana though looks like bananas were consumed by the hungrier 32k runners and faster 21k pack leaders :)

very exciting experience. meet several people to pace me thru the finish line. ang hirap pala tumakbo ng malakas hangin at ulan tas puro tubig na sapatos mo.. wahehe.. @stradmate roy sorry kung naiwan kita.. sana lang mga runners itapon natin ng mayos ung cup ng maayos my trash bag na malaki nman next time.. congratulations to all finishers! Thank you to all organizers!

nice run ,congrats sa lahat ng runners at sa organizer din.

parang higit sa 32 kms and nag register sa system ko. also unlike united 1 & 2 madaming kilometer markers para alam mo san ka adjust ng pacing. i also notice walang checkpoints sa madaming u-turns though may mga race marshals naman. lastly, nung binigyan ako ng freebies….pag open ko sa parking 21K shirt nag nasa loob i had to walk back para palitan.

but overall, miski hindi perfect ang event I am grateful to Unilab & Runrio.

Congrats fellow RU3 runners! iba talaga ang takbo sa ulan. bilib ako sa mga fast runners despite the rains. complete na pie medal ko, yehey!

Rest and recover well, guys! naligo rin Angry Bird balloon ko,hehe!

The event was flawless as expected. Although I think the 3am gunstart was a bit of an overkill. Perhaps the organizers wanted to make sure everything’s packed up before the mall opens at 10am. I guess I just miss those times when there are onlookers cheering the runners. Those were the times when 21K races would start at 5:30am.

@RunReal – The Running Popoy
agree ako dyan. sold out the banana supplies! simut na simot, hehe!

pero sana the runners wud throw the banana peels sa gild or tabi ng road kc pag sa gitna, it could cause a slip accident! naku alam nila yan.

Congrats Runners! see you on the road!!

sarap sa pakiramdam makatapos ng malakas sa 1st 32k run ko. actually….33k ang tracked sa gps ko… mas ok un kung ganun. hehe.

yun lang, sa sobrang ulan, nasira phone ko kahit nsa water resistant na armband…

pero at least, natapos ko ng maayos, and nataasan ko 21k PR ko by 11mins… ok na improvement. RUPM, let’s get it on!

@charles comment 30
1. Every 1.5km ang hydration. IMO overkill at unnecessary expense. Kahil 3km ang intervals ok pa rin. Dati every 5km ang intervals.
2. Magallanes? Pre anong category tinakbo mo? Sa alam ko wala ang magallanes sa route.
3. Marami sa mga km markers nakatumba. Well sa akin lang mas ok na yon kesa liparin sya at maka disgrasya pa
4. Nung wala pa akong gps, sa google maps ako nag estimate ng distance. Madali lang naman mag plot ng route at gumamit ng landmarks, eg ang 10km sa may makati ave cor buendia. Etc. ang kailangan lang naman eh yung every 10 kung 5 sobrang dami nang imememorize. Wehehehe
5. Sa kahit anong race pwede mag shortcut. Pero ewan ko ba, nagbayad ng 1000 para lang mangdaya? Merong gumagawa pero ewan ko ba kung anong nasa isip ng mga yon. Sana marami ngang timing mats para mas maraming splits na ma record.
6. Sa shirt size, baka mapikon na si rio dyan at gawin free size na lang lahat. Heheh seriously, buti nga ginawan pa ng paraan makakuha ng tamang size. Mahirap mag organize ng event na 10,000 runners at ma ensure na makakuha ng tamang size lahat. Pero kanya kanyang trip lang nga naman, ako kasi hindi particular sa shirts/ medals.

@jp comment 43
Overkill talaga ang 3am sa 32k at 4am sa 21k. Sana may waves at makapili ka ng starting time. Pero walang magagawa, marami sa mga tumatakbo ngayon hindi nacoconsider ang finishing time eh, ang iniisip palagi longer is better. Condura nga eh naging midnight run. Ang business kasi ng RU at Condura eh more sa mga recreational runners. Kailangan i consider talaga ang finishing times kaya nag adjust tuloy ang gun time. 8am na marami pa rin nasa roxas cor buendia.

si coach rio nagalit sa mga matitigas and bwisit na motorist na pinagbawalan magpark sa tapat ng bar sa fort. I-timing ba naman umalis n sumingit kung kailan madaming runner.

Asteeeg !!!!! i made thru the RAIN for a 21K!!heheheh.Walang Hassle its the Runners Against THemselves with the forces of Nature with twist..All it took was the Will to RUN from the Start to finish line ..Where the Brave may Live FOrever!!!YEAh! Rifffle na lang kulang reaDY for Battle na!!!!

I run 32K,unluckily ang naibigay saken na finisher’s shirt ay 21K. pero nagclaim ako sa 32Ktent. di ko n check dahil tiwala ako n ok ang laht. sa bahay ko n binuksan yung bag. but it was a 21K shirt. Guys!! if anyone who knows kung saan pwede papalitan yung shirt… help naman oh… parang sayang yung takbo ko kung ganun lang ang finishers ko.. thanks sana matulungan nyo ko..

It was a great running experienced… Congrats to all finishers!

not physically preaprared dahil wlang mileage and proper training pero go p din for 32k! buti na lang no PR to break so no pressure at all at petiks lng sa pagtakbo.. gonna be prepared for next year’s event and i’ll make sure na wala ng petiks moment… congrats to all the runners! lots of hydration and bananas… thumbs up!!!

It was nice Run! Sarap magrun sa ulan..

very thanks ru3 4hrs 26min 32km safe,thanks to all runners and thanks to god!

I’m proud to be a 32K finisher.. Sarap tumakbo tlaga pg umuulan kasi di mo masyado maramdaman ang pagod.. Congrats to all finishers! Stay fit and keep running.. lml, =)

My 1st 32K & i made it with no injury :-) Thanks Lord! Kudos to the Run Rio Team for a very organized run though some runners no consideration & still throw their banana peelings on the road :- I hope next event every runners must be responsible enough.

Very Nice RUN..

but napansin ko medyo malaki ang difference ng time sa finishline at nung nasa watch ko.. i ask my friend and… so is he.. malaki din descripancy sa time nya..

Is there anyone who could comment on this.. still hoping na sana accurate ung ilabas na official time result..

@Adventist runner @Mark_runner_ph @13th Runner. Thanks for the previous advise before the event. I was able to finish the 32k. Will start training for the 42k next month.

@jammer comment 63

congrats pare! bigyan mo lang sarili mo ng ilang araw na recovery tapos dahan-dahan magbuild up ng training mileage ulit. Kung natapos mo nang walang issue ang 32k kahapon, pwedeng pwede ka na sa RUPM !

6 weeks training + recovery, pwedeng pwede yung RU3 32k pang peak ng training. Singit na lang ng mga 21k na runs at mga easy na 32k+ (slower sa 32k pace mo kahapon). Basta pag dikit ng october, gradual nang babaan ang training mileage. Usually ako kung within 3 weeks na sa target race na full, hindi na ako lumalagpas ng 21k.

ingatan na lang na dapat walang injuries, mahirap mawalan ng training mileage para sa RUPM. Ang goal ng lahat ng preparation / training ? Makapag mall pagkatapos ng RUPM ! weheheheh.

first time mong mag full sa RUPM ?

Nice advise mark-runner-ph. I did the proper training/preparation gaya ng sabi mo noon and natapos ko ang first afroman distance ko by sub-3hr without any issue tapos hanggang gabi pa ako nasa mall.. THANX 4 ur advise!

lesson learned yan sa mga naubusan ng sizes ng finisher shirt, kelangan nyo ng proper training to finish early and finish strong. haha…

My garmin logged 20.760 for the 21k. Finish time was also off by more than 20 mins.

Salamat sa organizer,mgkita kta tau ulit sa october,god bls.

@mottaka..it is not the point..they should give what they promised. If they said that only top 100 finishers can have that shirt, that would be fine. NO PROBLEM. Ako personally, I undergo training but you can’t be sure that you are 100% okay on that day, pwede masama pakiramdam mo but you strive hard to finish the race, well not for the shirt but for the self fulfillment, pero siyempre pinangako nila ang shirt, you will expect for it.

@ Mark – runner_ph.
yup first timer. I might add up 5 or 10k sa rexona run next week for training sa RUPM

Masaya ako nabuo ko na yong medal puzzle. Dismayado kasi naubusan ng finisher’s shirt. Sabi sa Customer Service, nabaha daw yong supplier kaya di nakapagdeliver. Sabi pa dati, may priority lane para sa mga maagang nag-register and yet wala rin. Nabasa din yong bag ng mga kasama ko sa baggage area kaya basa din yong laman. Good thing sa akin hindi kasi naka-plastic yong mga damit pamalit ko kahit basa yong bag.

Maganda ang hydration Ang sarap ng Power rain (powerade + rain). Ang dami ring saging. Sana mapaaga ang claming ng Finisher’s shirt. Hoping na mas maayos na next time.

@jammer comment 68

yes panalo pre… congrats…

Kung magdadagdag ka ng distance sa 21k ng rexona, recommend ko bago mag race. So takbo ka ng muna ng at least 7k bago mag gun start sa rexona. Ganyan ang ginagawa namin nung nag training para sa Milo, at sa akin lang, effective sya talaga.

eto advantages kung bakit mas gusto ko magdagdag prior sa race
1. pag hindi ka pa naman na-warm up eh ewan ko na. Ako kailangan ng at least may 5km na moderate pace bago makatakbo.
2. since na race ang rexona, ma-simulate mo ang strong finish.
3. kung unahin ang race, e di may dala-dala kang freebies. Pwede mo naman iwan gamit mo sa baggage couters dahil malimit bukas na yon ng ganoong kaaga
4. alam mo naman, mas madaling tamaan ng katamaran. Kung bago mag race eh di at least tapos mo na
5. malamig pa ang panahon. Up to 10k, makakatakbo ka ng moderate nang hindi ka-kailanganin ng supplies (water stops etc)

ensure mo lang na maaga ka dumating sa MOA. Mas ok kung magsimula ka sa projected na start time ng RUPM (malamang 3am). Tapos ang goal mo eh dapat kahit papaano walang impact sa usual 21k time mo. At dahil, in preparation sa full ito, dapat walang issue sa iyo yung additional na warmup run sa 21k.

sana makatulong at good luck pare!

@r@m©€$ comment 65

ayos pare! buti nakatulong. Iba talanga ang importansya ng training. Buti nakatulong ang tips ko… Balita ko mallwide sale pa sa MOA kahapon.

Kaso ako yung hindi nakinig sa tips ko… weehehehe zero preparation ako. idinaan ko na lang sa pagbagal ng pace (1 minute / km slower) at pag-manage ng cramps… Natapos ko ng 3:10 at buti naman walang injuries. wehehehe daming lakad kasi. Hindi na ako nag hangad ng sub 3 at alam ko wala ako sa kondisyon.

ayos na ayos na yan bro, ituloy tuloy na lang ang ensayo, at kita kita na lang sa RUPM.

@PF salamat pala sa pic… at nahagip din ako papasok ng chute!

@Hyper June Real- hahaha oo sir mejo madami kami nakain na saging. sensya na. tirhan kita next time brad :)
@Ms Mars- ang cute po ng angry bird balloon niyo. hahhaa mukhang uso na ang may lobo sa run parang sponge bob runner. :D

Finished my 1st 32k and I did it barefoot all the way. Was really a memorable one with all the rain that beset us. Great event Runrio :) keep it up. Congratulations to all the finishers for whatever distance! :D

results?

my registration na ba for RUPM?

Re: TIMER

Mabilis nga ba?

Though I didn’t have a watch, I was expecting that I’d finish 21K around the 2h30m – 2h45m time (due to 2 injuries). Kasi every training run I did prior to the event ay under 2:30 (w/ uphills/downhills).

Nagulat ako ng nakita ko ay 3:03 na as I was approaching the finish line.

What about you, guys?

first time ko tumakbo ng 21K, pero second time ko palang naman tumakbo my first was last 32nd Milo pero 3K lang un, hahah

Im still waiting for the real time, sa nakita ko kasi 3:07:42 pero iba yun sa time ng relo ko although di na masama for a first timer samahan pa ng malakas na ulan.

Mabuhay tayo mga kapatid

finished 32k in 3 hours 10 minutes…
improved 2 mins compared to last year’s finishing time…
very well organized… adequate hydration stations…
but lack of kilometer markings… but its ok…
Let’s get ready for the full marathon next month!!!

it was a great run!!! the rain add some spice on the run itself.. except sa bumigat ung shoes ko nung nabasa.. since it was my first time running 21k km, at first time on the said route i cant compare it with other runs.. it was well organized, enough hydration and saging.. maliwanag nmn ung kalayaan bridge… friendly runners… i just hope i did well for my PR… hehehehe.

Congrats to all runners. Perfect para sa akin ang condition. Mas ok sa akin ang tumakbo ng medyo malamig. Kaya ok para sa akin ang gun start ng 4am. Actually we only found out it was 4am when we woke up. Good thing we normally wake at 2 am during runs.

Sayang hindi ako naka PR although same minute din. Good thing I also used the lightest dri fit shorts i have para di bumigat dahil Sa ulan.

Timing din yung freebie na sunvisor. Nakatulong din laban sa ulan. Ok din yung lighting except pagkalagpas ng chino roces. Madilim and have to slow down. Dumagdag pa yung Nakakasilaw na ilaw ng sasakyan ang i also wore glasses. Medyo maraming 32K runners na naglalakad at that pt kaya ingat talaga baka me masagasaan.

Next up rexona.

@ZOOT_angel.d.saint. mejo mabilis nga ata ung time… sa watch ko, 2hrs and 10mins.. but then sa finished line, it was already 2 hrs and 30 mins+ na…

Mas malaki yung RU1 na medal and medyo faded siya compared sa dalawang medal… napansin niyo ba yun… siguro iba yung supplier nung unang medal… anyway sana next give anyway ni unilab running jacket naman para complete gear na hehehe

@ noel arellano,

Thanks for your confirmation. If you have read previous posts, they have the same sentiment. Hmm. Kelangan yata ipaalam kay Runrio…

Wala na ata pag asa nakita ko binura comment ko hindi naman ako nag mura nagpahiwatig lang ako ng saloobin ko on behalf of other runners that did not get what they should. Sana maibigay pa yung finisher shirts para satin sabi nung head ng customer service hindi na daw sila makaka order kasi ibang bayad na yun. Tama ba naman yun?

Sore legs and feet after 32km, Job well done Coach Rio,sapat sa hydration, bananas and portalets. My only complaint is muntik ng maubusan ng finisher shirt, buti nlng XL size ko, may mga nakatapos ng 21km ang binigay ay 32km shirt, nalito n mga nag didistribute ng bags and shirt.Hope there won’t be next time. Ill always support RunRio!!!

Fihished 32k with slight injury. grabe ung tapilok ko sa butas sa may baclaran. buti n lang may isang runner na nagbigay ng ointment sakin. sino man po kayo, God bless you sir.. See you all on RUPM.

i run 32k pero bakit ang laman ng bag ko eh 21k finisher shirt !? kampante ako na 32k ang laman ng bag ko pero ng buksan ko sa bahay ang laman ng bag ko eh 21k ang finisher shirt !! hay naku ! paano ko kaya mapapalitan to ?

RE: TIMER

Thanks bro @ZOOT_angel.d.saint. and bro noel arellano for the confirmation.. ibig sabihin medyo may descripancy lang talaga sa time.. anyway, sana maayos eto ni organizer.. hoping for the accurate time result soon..

2 thumbs up…

It was may first half mary and it was a very pleasant experience.
Kaso mga 2 hours lang ata tulog ko the night before the race, excited kasi. Any tips to prevent this for my next race sa rexona?

Sa mga may problem sa Finisher’s Shirt nila .Ako din meron.

I got a 32km Finisher’s Shirt kahit na 21km yung tinapos ko and I claimed it at the 21km – M claiming booth. Kung may magtatanong kung bakit di ko binalik? Ang hassle eh. Baka pagbinalik ko, kukunin nila yung fshirt ko tapos palitan nila ng 21k na hindi naman Medium yung size. Di ko naman kasalanan in the first place na mali yung naibigay nila kasi nasa loob ng duffel bag yung shirt and nalaman ko na lang nung magpapalit na ako mga 9:15am na.

Slightly worn. Sinuot ko lang after the run pero hindi naman napawisan kasi nagpunas ako, nag alcohol, at nagpatuyo ng pawis bago ko sinuot. Hehehe. Nagtaxi kami pauwi at pag uwi ko eh nagpalit ako agad ng pambahay. Hehehe. So guaranteed na hindi napawisan at maayos pa. Ayun po.

If anyone would like to swap, kindly contact me here. 0932–. Yung magaguarrranty din po na maayos pa yung FShirt na isswap nila or else baka masayang lang po yung pagpunta nyo. Sa Mall of Asia lang po ako available pag weekdays, after 8pm. Or pwede nyo po ako puntahan at Mall of Asia Arena Annex Building office hours on weekdays din. :)

Salamat po and Happy Running.

I also have a suggestion for Runrio.

Why not organize the Hydration Stations in this manner:

Energy Drink – Trash Bin – Water – Trash Bin.
