It's going to be a crazy day...

I don't want to sound like a fortune-teller. But I think 05/10/2009 will be a crazy race day.

Have you seen the BOTAK PAA-TIBAYAN map? Specifically the routes for the 21k and 42k? Those are craaaaaaazzzzzyyyyyyy routes, man.

I hope that the race organizer has done their assignments real well. Marshalls should be well oriented. Water stops should be adequate & well manned. Medical facilities should be in place. Traffic should be, well... dealt with accordingly. Some people do work on a sunday. :)





And how about the weather? I don't know if "EMONG" has left the P.I., but this past weeks weather was craaaazzzzzyyyy. And according to CNN weather, it's going to rain tomorrow. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!


And last... I read from more than a couple of running groups that they'll go renegade on this race. And they are inviting people to join them. Craaaaaazzzzzzzzyyyy....

What I fear here is the cut-off time for the 42k runners. I don't know if there was a discussion about it. Because in the Condura Run, this was cleared at least a week before the race. I think I see a lot of complaints after this race though. =(

Will I run tomorrow even if it rains? It's a YES!

Will I run on the said routes? Maybe... :)

Will I go bandit? Hmmnnnn......

  5. Rod, sorry to hear what happened to you and the runners yesterday. Lack of water cups and marshalls is not acceptible when runners are shelling out a good amount of money.

    Anyway, hope you ran well. Take care and have a good week ahead.

    We all learned from this, pare. That's why I now check who organizes the race, where the route is & who benefits from it.

    luckily i didn't signed up for this race. i was suppose to go bandit & pace a first time 21k runner. i was late by 5 mins because i ran at least 2kms going to the starting line. good thing there were others who ran bandits and paced with him.
