nice route na sana, ang pinaget lng is ung mga usok ng mga truck! hehe. nice run!

Very nice event. We are all happy today. Thanks NSL, Ateneo. Also medal and shirts are good.

Thanks NSL next year po uli,,,

I enjoy this event……..

i decided to check out this run although i was not officially registered, problem is there is this ass hole guy who insisted on taking me off the race course as i was not registered -in the first place this was not mentioned in your website- i am just after the ‘fun’ run in Marikina- well, after the first round, that guy saw me again and tried everything to stop me- so i decided to just ran around the campus. . .
but lo and behold- that stupid guy insisted that i should be escorted outside the campus?! he even asked the security escort to take me out- well good thing hindi bobo iyon security police- hindi siya sinunod. I even asked the guards- and they agreed that it’s okay to jog around ateneo

hey stupid guy, you don’t own Ateneo okay? what a run – imagine php 850 without any gatorade at all? tsk tsk , lumaki na ang ulo from last year’s run.

@potamus55

They have the right to take you off the race route if you are running in it. In races, the route is ideally reserved only for the registered runners. Pero it’s another matter kung pati sa loob ng Ateneo campus e paaalisin ka.

nice run! congrats NSL organizers. cool 15k medal.

Ang cool ng organizers e..ultimate cheerleader ang dating..sana next time hindi lang water..ahah congrats

In my opinion, okay lang na pinaalis si potamus55, kasi considered as bandit running yun. Don’t be offended, pero nagbayad yung ibang runners, tapos ikaw makakalibre lang. Kung pwede namang tumakbo ng ganun, sana di na lang din ako nag register. Pero yung sa campus ng Ateneo is offending. Anyone can jog inside the campus…

Mas okay yung fun run this year compared last time. Masyadong energetic mga marshalls. Yung hydration, may times na walang cups, pero okay lang kasi halos magkakalapit lang ang hydration areas. The medal is good. Walang Gatorade pero may hotdogs naman. Nakakatuwa talaga mga marshalls. Nakikita mo yung effort maghawak ng flags, sumigaw, at magbilad sa araw. Di matatawaran yun. =)

9/10 ang score ko. Wala kasing timer, nasira yata sa finish line. Tsaka yung finisher’s shirt, di kasya sa akin! Bwahahaha…

may mga cons (2 beses ako pinaikot ng marshall sa loob ng ateneo kahit hindi naman dapat, maliit and low quality fin shirt) pero may mga pros din naman ( awesome cheerers, nice singlet) kaya ang rate ko ay 1,000,000/10 kasi ang daming pretty.

cant help myself pero @potamus55 ok na sana pero yung last statement mo:

hey stupid guy, you don’t own Ateneo okay? what a run – imagine php 850 without any gatorade at all? tsk tsk , lumaki na ang ulo from last year’s run.

may gana ka pa mag complain na walang gatorade? parang snatcher na galit kasi 3310 yung nakuha niyang phone. wow dude.

It was challenging route, challenging din ang usok, mas may improvement nga last year guys for suggestion only.

1. Sana ung finisher shirt d naman free size, d naman lahat ng runner pareho ang ktawan pareho ang height sakin bitin sayang d magagamit ko kunti na lng kita na pusod ko he he he.
2. Tinamad ata magdala ng mgagandang marshall ng camera ganda ng route walang kumukuha ng pics.
3. Water ok lng. Kahit walang energy drinks, wala nga lng banana 2 ikot ni banana sa route wala. Wala tuloy potassium.
4. Walang medic sa route un ang importante sa mga runners.

But again it was organized and pretty marshall cute ni ate.

for comment #4, tama po kaw ngkalituhan sa pg guide for 15k runners..sabi tpos n dw un..after ng blue string ,un pla di pa.. isang ikot p pLa..pnblik aq dun s finish line..nka ilang tanong aq s mga marshalls.sabi ok n dw..di msydo nguide ung iba..syang ung time e..

epic fail!

21K Route lacks 1 Kilometer

nice run, my first ever 21K madali lng pla hehe,,,, maganda exept dun sa bastos na lalaking mc, hindi nkkatuwa ung mga pinagsasabi nya sa mga participants na nag join sa contest or winners ng raffle, pasalamat xa hindi ako nabunot sa raffle, sabi ko nga sana mabunot ako not b’cos sa price or gift pack na mkukuha ko kundi mkukuha nya galing sakin…grrrrr

sa mga marshal tnx for your big CHEER,,, twice ko clang nadaanan same level parin ang level ng cheer nila,,,ang ku-cute pa,,,tnx guyz muah muah chup chup

to no. 17 masakittuhod
well, you missed my point hijo, what i meant was i feel bad for those who joined and paid the reg. fee- they were robbed! didnt you read the other comments like what’s inside the loot bag?, and also the quality of the finisher shirts.
this is what i have beens saying all along, we runners can have a say- we should not be abused and taken advantage of by these kind of organizers-
look at the pse bull run and the upcoming yakult run and compare. . .
obviously i am not expecting to get anything – the freebies and the free drinks after the race- i just feel for the runners bakit kayo nag papaapi- and please sir, don’t call me a snatcher

para sakin its not a success story sa side ng runners and organizers

1. sa registration rates na kasing taas ng skyscrapers, sana man lang may gato/pocari sa mga drinking stations. THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS IS THAT IONIZED DRINKS PREVENT CRAMPINGS, WHILE WATER REPLENISHES H2O, IT CANNOT RETAIN BALANCE OF SALTS AND IONS ALONG THE RUN. sana lang hnd pag titipid ang reason behind this, pero pwede naman sila mkakuha ng sponsor for this.

2. i think kulang ang 21k distance nila, na sa sobrang bagal ko with my injuries i was able to finish it earlier than my 21k na optimal ang body conditions ko. this is my fasterst record for the past 3 years pero i doubt it kung 21k talaga yung natapos ko

3. the nikon camera hotdog eating contest is a failure. i was counted number 5 when the emcee was looking for 7 participants. from the side of the stage people swarmed ending up with 9 participants. she could have asked them to back off but the guy emcee decided to make a mini game to determine who will the final 7 be. The heck!!! yes i want to win a camera, but with dishonest participants and incompetent emcees? nevermind. so i stepped back and just let them have the FUN of it.

4. im not a good singer, but the singers upstage were, unprepared i guess (for the crowd exposure that big) hence affecting their performance, well you know what i mean by this.

5. and yes maraming naligaw sa actual routes ng 21/15k ending up either short of distance, or shorter.

6. tama yung comments earlier, the finisher shirt prints look good for all categories BUT RUNERS DO NOT HAVE SAME SIZES

7. finisher’s medal is NOT part of LOOT BAG! it should be used to honor the finishers. hnd yung nkabag lang na parang binayaran lang literally ng mga runners

My Garmin says it lacks more than a kilometer,well guess its really hard to manage traffic with the organizers. Why not raffle the prices next time o.k. My banana inside my loot bag is over ripe. Sana may timer next time,kawawa maga walang timer.But its a good run. Thanks.

@potamus55 #23 i just find it weird that a bandit such as yourself would even say something bad about the event and the organizers. there is no perfect event, even rio gets low scores from runners and to think (correct me if im wrong) that this event was organized by students and the proceeds will go to a cause, i personally believe that you should apologize to the organizer for saying na “lumaki na ang ulo nila”. anyways, this will be my last post to this thread. again, kudos to the cheerers. mahirap sumigaw ng ilang oras. just for that effort, my money well spent.

Ang aarte niyo naman humingi ng ionized drinks. ‘Pag tubing lang ba binibigay ibig sabihin inaabuso nila tayo?

Nung sumali ako dito na sa isip ko yung CAUSE nila. Nalilimutan niyo lahat eh. The proceeds went to a school for children with special needs, I think that alone should’ve urged others to set aside their SLIGHT discomfort and run for these kids. The run wasn’t perfect but when is there ever a perfect run?

@nemo_runs I don’t think you heard, but the singers on that stage were kids from their beneficiary…. Those were special children. Laki naman ng expectation mo sa kanila kung ganun. That performance was heartfelt and almost brought a tear to my eye.

Overall, great run. Sapat naman yung tubig nila, yun lang naman kailangan ko. And the marshals were energetic and inspiring. May nakita ko nga isang marshal nakatorotot habang na sa bike. They were all great for cheering runners on. I paid to help the beneficiary and to run. Yung mga freebies bonus lang ‘yon. Peace

@potamus55 #23. You said you feel for the runners bakit sila nagpapaapi. Kaya ba tumakbo ka sa route kahit hindi ka registered dahil ayaw mong magpa-api? And nobody is calling you a snatcher. Masakittuhod was only making an analogy.

For some reason like for instance ung mga usually tinatakbuhan mo tlga like bgc. UP or public places, nagkataon na may running event d namn pede ata exclusive lng sa mga runner na nagbayad. Para sakin ang bandit ay simula sa start hanggang finsh line tumakbo, eh kung paikot ikot ka lng namn dun at palayasin ka ng marshall ah ibang usapan un Public place nga diba. So Wala namn mali na tumatakbo ka sa route ng running event na usually un tlga ung way mo din. Nakikigulo ba sila, naagawan ba tayo ng daan o nauubusan. Peace

At least have the decency and respect to avoid the race route and give way to the runners who have paid to run the route. Hindi dahil usual run route mo ‘yun e karapatan mo nang tumakbo doon kapag may event. Sinecure ng organizers ang ruta para sa participants nila.

maganda na sana pero, daming nalito at nag short cut. yung pang lima sa 21- tag, sila dapat ang third to finish. nasingitan lng nag short cut. hehe. i suggest po sana, kunin nila ang time ng first runners din. keep it recorded. kasi yung iba di pa nakatakbo partner nya,, sa finish line na kaagad dumeretso-due yun nalito nga. mas masaya pag honest lahat, mas masaya pag fair sa lahat ! we will see the improvements nalang nxt run. ! congratulations ! God Bless!

sayang,,hangang tingin nalang…at basa nalang..

bawat pagsali natin sa mga run… expect na natin yun worst..

1. Water – pwede ka naman magdala ng isang boteng water or gatorade… plus 1 bottle sa bag mo after ng run.

2. Banana – usually binibigay talaga yan sa 42 at 21k runners.. but nakaugalian ko na maglagay sa bulsa ko.. pag half way na ng run tsaka ko kinakain yung banana at cloud 9. Meron extra sa bag pag tapos tumakbo.

3. Loot Bag – pasalamat kung meron banana at mineral water sa loob.. kung wala, meron naman sa bag ko.

4. Medal – salamat pag meron silang ibibigay… for sure masaya ang anak ko kung meron ako uwing medal.

5. Finisher Shirt – salamat kung meron at sakto ang fit sa akin.

6. Bandits – kainis talaga ito.. ikaw nagbayad ng reg fee.. sila free lang.. hehehe.. ROW kasi dun din sila regular na tumatakbo.. bakit di ba pwede patapusin muna yung run o mag give way sa mga runners.. respect lang ng unti sa kapwa..

remember: maging prepare tayo sa bawat run.. newbie lang ako sa pagtakbo.. at ayoko magpakastress dahil lang sa pagtakbo…

…Abay….nag aaway away na kayo…..Takbo lang po tayo ng takbo….mahirap ma init ang ulo pag tumatakbo….May masasagasa-an kayo….RUN FOR PEACE 2013

@potamus55 may reverse na nangyari sa akin parang yung experience mo. i was jogging inside ateneo tapos naka-red shirt ako, tapos may some event yung isang class that day, tapos lahat sila naka-red and this one supervisor-type guy was shouting after me na ‘saan ka pupunta?! hindi ka pde umalis!’. that totally freaked me out. totally. naka-red shirt lang ako and i was part of their event na? like, not even stepping inside ateneo anymore.

at binura ng moderator ang post ko, anyway…

@simple runner
pakibasa nga ulit kung ano yung post ko? hnd mo yata naintindihan eh
1. ionized drinks prevent cramping, and other injuries. hnd sa parang nag aapila ako na tinipid. saka diba sinabi ko na makakakuha naman ng sponsor for this kung naasikaso sana nila ng maaga. just in case wala kang alam, may mga naospital na, at may mga namamatay sa mga injuries related sa imbalance ng ions during run. i could have brought my own pocari, yes i did that. but to those who have no idea, they were prone to dangers that time. sasagutin ba sila ng organizers pag may malalang nangyari?
2. what did i say about the performers? i said their performance was affected by their unexpected exposure to the crowd. may sinabi bko negative dun? the organizers could have done a mock rehersals so that the performers would be much prepared

@NSL organizers
take these as challenging criticisms. we cannot be perfect but we can always be better. for sure i’ll see you again nxt year, yes i will run again for your cause, together with my other members.

@moderator
hope this post would sound fair to you >_< sorry for the one earlier ^_^ peace out

epic fail!!!!!

hay nakupo!!! ang daming reklamador… kesyo walang power drinks, may bandit, magulo ang ruta, sukat ng finishers shirt… etc etc..!! wag na kayo tumakbo jan na lang kayo s paligid ng bahay nyo para wala kayong reklamo…

i’m now 60 yo and this event was my 3rd 21k run ifilled up both my hydration with pocari to be sure i’ll hydrated well pero sana gaya ng ibang nasalihan ko sa susunod meron na. kaya nman nyo cguro kumuha ng ganung sponsors para wala na reklamo na iba.nkakatuwa mga cheerers nyo my nag iisa dun along katipunan pero ndi iniwan ang post nya., i enjoyed d race

kudos to all marshalls /cheerers for their untiring support
they keep you motivated and inspired from the starting till the finish line
love this event
cheers
got my new PR here inspite of lots of uphills
^_^

@sam
wala kang alam sa sentiments ng maraming tao kaya wala kang karapatan na mag salita ng ganyan, at isa ka pa! wala ka naman naintindihan sa mga explanation sa post ko. may positive bearing yung mga pinopoint out ko for the sake of both runners and organizers at kung hnd mo maintindihan yun eh i-zipper mo yang bibig mo… ay nag t-type ka lang pala sa keyboard

nga pala, hnd power drinks yun, ionized drinks yun pang replenish ng salts and sugar stabilizer lang sila. nganga ka ulit, hnd ka kasi nag babasa ng maayos eh, kung mka sabat ka akala mo na nabasa mo na at naintindihan ng mabuti

Tama naman si nemo_runs if u r first timer 10km to 21km or not isipin mo na lng tumakbo ka cmula north edsa hanggang taft 19km palng un.. as in ganun khirap ang 21km . Need mo tlga un yes expect the unexpected pero d aman pede habang tumatako ka dala dla mo ung 3 bote ng gatorade. madami namamatay tlga sa mga running event lack of potassium, dehydrate. Kaya im not speak to myself but to all runners. Sna nababasa ng nsl organizer kung gaano sila kasipag magreply nung registration palang, eh ganun din sana kasipag para explain ung side nila …ganto lng yan, we support your advocacy but also remember don’t forget to taking care of us also. Maraming salamat po.

kung ano yung nakaugalian natin pag nagtraining o practice tayo yung din sana gawin nating during runs…. water or gatorade.. yan ang madalas natin iniinom during sa practice natin.. at walang table at cups na naghihintay sa atin along the way..kaya malamang habang nag training tayo lalo na sa 10k up ang pinaghahandaan for sure meron yan hydration belt o bottle of water…. sa una talaga nakakailang magbitbit ng bottle of water… pero sanayan din lang yan… me personally plastic bottle ang dinadala ko yung disposable even sa actual race.. i check muna kung ok yung hydration sa run bago ko idispose yung dala ko na bottle… salt o chocolate??? pwede ilagay yan sa pocket ng short nyo.. sa akin naglalagay pa ako ng CP, Cash, chocolate at banana sa pocket ko during practice and actual run.. hanap kayo ng running short na meron pocket na may zipper… marami sa 168 sa GAMETIME ang name ng store… 2A 37 kung di ako nagkakamali..

sure ako newbie itong si nemo, gusto kc every km yata may ionized drinks, gusto yata magpakabundat sa libreng inumin. running pinuntahan mo hindi picnic!

@runrunrun

hnd ako newbie at hnd ako nagpapakabundat sa inumin, eh isa ka pang walang tamang pag intindi eh para kang walang pinag aralan,

ikaw ba ilang beses ka na ba tumakbo? ang lakas ng loob mo mag sabi nyan. kagaya ng sinabi ko na halatang hnd mo binasa, may dala akong pocari bottle, i was hoping they provide ionized drinks for those na walang dala. nakaka intindi ka ba?

nasabi mong newbie ako eh sa unang post ko plang sinabi ko na sa lahat ng 21k na tinakbo ko dito sa NSL yung pinaka maikling time ko despite my injuries that time making me think that this NSL is short of 21k distance.

akala mo kung sino kang may alam ng pagiging newbie, eh mukhang hnd ka nga marunong mag basa at umintindi. oh ano ka ngayon? sasabat ka pa?

@bagito

if i share my training routines would that justify it at all? well, during trainings, i dont carry bottles of pocari or any, bumibili lang ako along the way right after mka 12k of training nko and once makabili nko dun ko lang bibitbitin yung bote ko kasi hnd naman ako umuubos ng isang bote ng pocari ng isang inuman. i also dont bring belt bags kasi alam ko mag susurvive naman ako hanggang makauwi. yes i have a pocket with zipper but i only bring enough cash. i bring phone for music and that’s all.

kung pwede nga lang sana mkabili sa mga stores ng pocari during run eh sagot ko na sarili ko, hnd nko mag aalala para sa iba, isa pa ang lalayo ng mga stores sa race route kaya delikadong tumawid tawid ng highways para mkabili. im a leader of a small running group kaya i always worry for those na hnd pa ganun ka pulido sa mga runs lalo na para sa mga members na first time mag try ng mahahabang distances

salamat po Sir nemo_runs…..

Share ko lang yung nakakatuwang karanasan ko sa run na ito….During the gunstart ng 21k.. nakakairita yung lalake na nagpapahiwalay sa mga TAG TEAM.. naka unli ata at paulit -ulit… pero ito yung isa sa pinaka nakakainis.. meron ako nakatabi sa startng line.. 1 Female na medyo meron ng edad at 1 Male na mga nasa early 30’s na.. sa pagkakarinig ko sa academic oval ata sila madalas tumakbo….Gunstart na…. sabi ni FEMALE kay MALE yaan mo yan mga BAGUHAN na yan…. (nahurt naman ako kasi newbie din ako actually 2nd 21k ko after skyway)….. puro pormal lang mga yan pag dating sa finishline mauunahan natin yan……sa loob pa lang ng campus medyo madilim pa biglang nawala sila… mukhang nagmamadali….di ko napansin naunahan ko na sila plan ko sana sundan lang sila, pagdating sa unang ikot sa Macapagal naka U TURN na ako sila pa U turn pa lang.. sama ng tingin na naman para.. kakain ng tao hehehehe.. pagdating sa campus nagkasalubong ulit kami.. naka tingin na naman.. dahil siguro katabi ko sila sa starting line…. last na ikot sa MACAPAGAL nakakaramdam na ako ng sakit ng paa…. nagkita na naman kami sa ibabaw ng tulay.. at nakatingin na naman…..parang gusto sabihin uunahan pa natin yan.. wala na akong choice tutal malapit na naman dahil kita na and SM.. kahit masakit na ang paa takbo lang….. nakarating naman ako ng ligtas sa finish line at di ko na sila muling nakita…share nyo lang yung experience nyo… nachallenge lang ako sa 2 na yun but walang sama ng loob…tnx

ms. nemo, “stop complaining and youll find happines………..” maybe u r just bitter kc hindi ikaw ang nag win s hotdog eating contest… BURAOT!

@Bagito, wag mong masyadong damdamin. Iba’t iba ang klase ng runners. Nagkataon lang na na meet mo yung ganun. Think of positive sides… =)

@bagito
tama, dapat may personal goals ka lang sa bawat pag takbo mo. nung kakasimula ko plang sa pag takbo wala ako naexperience na ganyan, buti nlang. nung unang beses ako nag 42k, wala ako idea na matatapos ko yun. may nasagap lang ako sa loob ng lamesa eco park na runner pa man din ang nag sabi. sabi nya sa kasama nya “ang dami talagang pilingero sa 42k, halata namang mga first timers kaya parang mga hingal aso na sa pagod” that time may kasabayan kaming dalawang lalaki na basang basa na nga ng pawis naliligo na sa tubig na galing sa hydration station, medyo yumuko nlang sila kasi mukhang first timers nga na gaya ko at nahiya sila sa narinig nila dun sa nag salitang matandang lalaki. kung sino man yung matandang yun eh naunahan ko naman sya sa finishline, pag cross ko ng line inabangan ko na sya at gusto kong ipamukha na kahit firstimers may chance na makatapos ng 42k. ang nakakatuwa pa dun, naunahan din sya nung dalawang hingal aso na kasabay ko, nagkangitian nga kami nung nagkitaulit kami sa finish line. nkaka lift ng pagod yung mga ganung eksena

post race lang naman ako nag rereklamo, pero during run hnd ako nakikialam sa mga patakaran ng mga organizers. mas gusto ko maging running marshal. honestly mas magaang ang pag takbo pag may inaalalayan kang co-runners at pag may natutulungan ka. sa dami kasi ng runners eh imposibleng mabantayan lahat ng mga marshals, lalo na yung halang nahihirapan na kasi may mga injuries na pala. nung una kong 21k kasi pinulikat ako at hirap mkarecover, may isang co-runner na umalalay sakin hanggang mkatawid ng finish line kahit hnd na nya nabantayan time record nya.

Dapat hindi i-approve ‘yung troll comments dito.

….Teka….imbes na mag batuhan tayo dito ng ma anghang na salita….Bakit di natin subukan ang mga yabang natin este mga galing natin….Kita kits tayong lahat na nag coment dito at mag karera tayo….Name the Place,the date etc…ika nga magka alaman na…..Ano Gays este Guys…..?

tama na yan mga ka RUN.. handa na lang tayo sa mga runs natin.. ingat lang nagsisimula ng uminit ang panahon. tnx

peace lang tayo mga brod,,,

isa lang napatunayan ko sa mga comment nyo… marami talaga pagkukulang ang organizer sa takbong ito at madami ding tuta na handang ipagtanggol ang mga pagkakamali ng race na ito..

nothing but praise for this run, before this…

Mali ang timing nyo NSL. I know walang timing chip still ang laki po ng difference, in my watch i registered 30 mins. lang but sa inyo was almost 40 mins.

so tama din ako…. coz i know to myself naka PR ako… 1:49…. sa 21k… in my watch, and sa mismong time sa finishline…. but in the results posted here, 1:52…
sundin ko nlng ung sabi ng watch ko and ung sabi ng time sa finishline! so,…… Yehey! naka PR ako! haha! 1:51 time ko sa PSE bull run last month,,, and 1:52 nung DEC.2011—> Milo (very long time ago)…
sana mag improve pa time ko sa mga 21k… ^_^
