Run United 3 2012

Right after I dropped my things at home, got my running bag and went directly to Makati. I slept at friend's pad so I can catch up the 03:00 gun start of my first 32K Run for Run United 3. Luckily, Robert was free that night. It was raining heavily hard when I woke up at 02:30 and thought that the run will be cancelled but that did not stopped the organizers and the runners not to continue the last installment of the Runrio Trilogy.

I was so excited to have my first 32K run and what got me even more excited is that I can complete the medal puzzle which I started to collect early this year. Now let me show you the whole medal puzzle. I am happy I completed the pie size medal.

Official Result: 03:49:38 Gun Time, Ranked 776 out of 2,567 runners.





It was really a great challenge for me to have my first longest run ever. I can say I trained much even harder as compared when running for shorter distance. It really needs a lot of endurance training. It was all worth it. I was even injured (left knee) before running because of what happened during the activities the previous days. Check out the activity area after the run. 


With my longest run ever and with those feet aching, I really deserved a heavy breakfast. This is what I've got after the run. Just don't know how I finish my order. Haha! 


While having my breakfast, I was waiting for my other colleagues: Kevin, Earl and Cla, who also ran(21K). There they also enjoyed their breakfast together.



Overall, the run was great. Runrio Inc. is really a great running organizers. Though I've heard some problems regarding finisher's shirt. Hydration along the route was great including those bananas and sponges. Check out the loot bag: mostly medicines coming from Unilab. 


One Finishers Shirt is already been added again in my closet. Looking forward to run next year and will complete the trilogy once again.



Sharing also the pictures while running. Taken from the website, did not know that I've got pictures there and luckily I was caught by the camera. :)
