5:40AM the 10K race started. We “strategically” placed ourselves at the back of the pack as we’re not conscious of our time. For me it was one of the few times I started at the back and it was a world of its own—the gun was sounded yet the people at the back were hardly…

2nd BDM Ultramarathon 102 (Part 4: Conclusion)
Around 6:18AM I arrived at +Km 50 and Sam a few minutes later. We were feeling excellent for the next half ahead, but first it was time to load up some carbs and change outfits. Unfortunately there was no hot coffee there when we arrived but my ultra-support Ross got me one including a breakfast…
Condura Run 2010 Review
This year’s Condura Run went full throttle by finally having a full marathon route, a first in its short history and as with last year the Skyway route was its signature. This event was handled by Race Director Rudy Biscocho of RACE. Here are my afterthoughts of the overall race experience: Pre-Race Condura Run had the…
Bataan Death March Test Run News Flash
Just a quickie post about the great adventure we had with Bataan Death March Test Run last Saturday, January 23, 2010.

Before we look back at the year in its entirety let us first review the Philippine running scene for the last six months. This period saw highs and lows as far as races were concerned.

Run for Home Race Results, Criticisms, and Commendations
Have you seen your race results? Perhaps one of the best innovations that this race contributed to the Philippine running scene was its adaptation of globally competitive race results due to the usage of the timing chips. Although it took a little longer than runners expected, the informative race result was never seen before in…

Men’s Health All Terrain: Back on Trails
The All Terrain Race can be described as salvation for Men’s Health—the race was n a different caliber that everyone seemed to forget the past mishaps of races by Men’s Health. This was of course made possible by the race’s new organizer finishline.ph and with that, blazing fast race results. The Trails It’s either I’ve…
Mizuno Infinity Run (With A Surprise!)
Last weekend’s Mizuno Infinity Run was a monopoly in terms of races as it was the lone one for the day in the Metro. With a relatively higher registration fee than the usual (P300 without any race singlet) it was almost like paying for the brand, not the race. The race started early for the…
My Greenfield City Run Story
Greenfield City was an unknown place to me prior to this run. All I know was that is was in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, and that’s about it, and this run became my introductory. This run was also my first “regular” race outside Metro Manila—it’s usually trail runs that take me out of the city and…

Happy Run with My New GF

The weather was quite cooperative too, it didn’t rain and it was cooler than…
