1 hour 5 minutes. That's the best I was able to do in the Adidas' "King of the Road" last Sunday at the Mall of Asia. I was disappointed. I knew I can run faster than that, but because of my knee injury, I didnt't achieve my expected time of less than an hour. Mike even outran me. Kainis. Hindi umepekto ang ketoprofen na ininom ko. I should have taken it two hours earlier. Pero siyempre diba, 5am na ako nagising, eh the run was scheduled at 6am.
Btw, we were given freebies after finishing the 10k:
- Back issue ng Men's Health
- small bottle ng Viva Mineral Water
- plastic tumbler na may printed ad ng Cherifer (with chorela growth factor)
Esa diba? Pero ok na rin.Maganda naman yung singlet na binigay sa amin for the run.
In general, I enjoyed the whole experience . It was my first time joining such an event. And I get to see and run together with a lot of cute people. Sabi nga ni JC, "Friend, nandito ang target market."
UPDATE:
My official time according to the organizers of "King of the Road" is 01:07:35. I ranked 967th out of 2451 runners.
