Unilab Run United 2

Isang Umaga, Isang Takbo , Isang alaala FrancisM RUN

FrancisM Run is First ever event (organize by RUNtarantantan).  In fact, last Sunday was its 1st edition of Run to remembering the pinoy rapper Francis Magalona.

It was still a good race to us, the route Luneta to Coastal Mall is a good running place. Too bad it was short 16 Kilometers! Because me and my running buddies always run to 21K category.

The hydration to this run is only water, no Gatorade, no Pocari Sweat, in short no energy drink. I think they dont have sponsor, Still hopping next year it will going to improved. MORE SPONSOR TO COME!! RUNtarantantan..

I had to choose wisely where I will drink my water because there were some stations that lines were long and would mean losing seconds or minutes in this race.  There were also some stations where the crew were still busy filling up the plastic cups so that was something I had to skip as well.

I was able to maintain my pace and when the time came where I had to go faster, I ate the Banana I had with me and went out at a faster speed.  This worked for me until I felt pain in my right shoulder because i holding my DSLR Camera when running. YES! I run together with my camera because i am not satisfied with the baggage counter to this event, i feel my camera is not secured. But I resisted the pain or the temptation to slow down because of the pain and kept going at the pace that I wanted.

In the middle of the race i saw my Running Buddies Kelvinkiel Rivera. I saw my friend walking painful because her feet. So I decide to accompany him on his walk to the finish line.

I crossed the finish line at 2:24:19, with an average pace of 6:50. Not bad!!
