Before the gun start for the 5K, I am on hesitations if I will be pushing myself to have a 6min/km speed or simply enjoy the race. But as my angel and I discuss things, we settled on simply enjoying the race and have fun. It's a fun run anyway right?
Gun start.
And so off we go and run for as long as we can. I made my stops at each and every hydration booth put up along the race route. And I have to say that I give Globe-Ayala a thumbs up. There were more than enough Powerade and water for hydration. More so, they are cold. Really thirst quenching.
As we continue to run and enjoy the race, I become excited-slash-challenged when we saw that we actually have to run the flyover. Wow! I just remember the practice run I had back at adiNation Ortigas group. And so, while most of the runners walk while climbing the flyover, we RUN. We also take the rare opportunity to have our pictures taken while we're at the top.
Before going down the flyoverWhile we were still at the peak of our excitement after crossing the flyover, we were surprised to see that the FINISH line is already a few meters away. But no, I don't sprint nor accelerate, I just continue to run until I cross the FINISH. After which, I immediately send RunningAtom a message, "Whoah! I love the flyover!" signaling him that we're already done with our 5K.
As we cross the FINISH line, we were welcomed by outpouring Powerade and water. Well, they just know what runners need after a challenging route. Afterward, we enjoyed the booths and the program. We also take the chance of taking photos.
