Run United 2 2012

This time I've got the chance to sit down and write once again. It took me after one month to post about this event because I am quite busy the past couple of days. This maybe too late but still I am happy to share my experience with you guys. 

 

I joined Run United 2 which was held in SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City last June 17, 2012. This was my second 21K run and was challenged to beat my previous personal record of 02:28:40 from Run United 1. Finally I was hoping as well to get my second medal for the Medal Puzzle and I did! 

RunRio, the organizer of Unilab Run, used special chip timing device specially made for 21K runners. One of the great improvements from RU 1. There was also expo happened in Bonifacio Global City 3 days prior to the run. It's where runners claim their race kits which includes: singlet, BIB number, timing chip and a belt-bag.  The expo also exhibits stalls for sports apparels wherein you can buy things at their discounted prices.

With strong discipline and determination, I was able to finish the run and beat my old PR with the time of 02:21:17. Good enough to get my second 21K Finishers Shirt and loot bag with different Unilab Products.

The run was great! New run, new experience. The run was well-organized which RunRio wis well-known of. There were also lot of sponsors, Unilab was the major sponsor of the run. Race route was excellent, there were plenty of hydration stations and bananas! There were couple numbers of Marshal's too!

Now looking forward in running Run United 3 next month. Really need to train hard because I am attempting to have my first 32K and hopefully a full-marathon on October this year!
