Good job to us. after crossing the finish line i think i could go much farther pa. pero nung pag-uwi sa bahay bagsak na katawan ko. hehehe. It was a very nice experience though. can't wait for the next run. woohoo!

It was my and my wife's first race too. We thoroughly enjoyed the KOTR, even if the 5k was actually 6.4k. The extra 1.4k felt like a monkey wrench being rammed down my throat. I measured the route (based on the map provided) two weeks before raceday. It was only 4.3k. That part where you make a U-turn was not part of the original race route. When I noticed the detour, I thought to myself that the organizers may have realized that the route was too short and simply wanted to fill in the missing 700m. But an extra 2.1k? I almost quit when I saw how long the detour was. It totally messed up my race strategy as I had pre-determined my race pace based on the original distance of 4.3k. In other words, I was totally spent. Great experience nonetheless. Cheers and keep on running! What a coincidence. It was my and my wife’s first race too.

Have fun! @dyosa, pinag-iisipan pa namin kung yung Timex or yung Botak on the 22nd eh. Mahal kasi Timex eh just for a chip that you can't use afterwards. takbo ka rin ba? @kat, hanap ka rin ng mga running groups dyan. tapos sali ka ng race every month. or sama ka kay papa sa jogging nya. hehehe.
