Nike+ Human Race – Part 2

This race was truly one of the more memorable races. Yes, I was happy about my performance. Plus, the race was perfectly organized; one of the best races I’ve attended—from the banana and ensaymadas at stations to overflowing water to the challenging race route to lots of race marshalls to giveaways (photovendo pics, finishers bracelets, Men’s Health magazine, Nike socks)—everything was perfect. (Congrats Coach Rio!)

But, it was also a race where the participants made it even more enjoyable. I was glad to have met most of the readers who had joined my TBR Race for the Nike+ SportsBand plus other runners in the community. It’s funny but I couldn’t have been more wrong about how CougCat or Bugobugo would look in real life.

After the Nike race, I learned that…

…Patrick‘s bodyguard/driver is a budding photographer

…Bugobugo is one of the few fortunate running souls who enjoys high altitude training

…Mukhang Guilty gives a tight handshake (parang di napagod sa 10k)

…Ever and Allyn won SportsBands at my blog and Ben’s, respectively. And, they’re husband and wife!

…Vince won’t be an active achiever anymore

…Bards is not just a great runner but a good dancer too

…RunMD starts fasting for ramadan today. He’ll be fasting from races too

…DATC looks different in running attire compared to his preppy look the first time we met

…Prometheus Cometh did a great job as race volunteer. He made distributing free socks look more fun than running the race

…in 10 years, Cougcat will be one of the country’s fastest runners

…Coach Rio always looks calm under pressure (I always wondered if his hair would straighten out with all the stress he goes through in each race…apparently not.)

  3. Jaymie, thanks for the special mention :-) I’d like to think I look different because I weigh less now than when we first met. I’d rather be in my running gear than in office attire!

  11. it was nice to meet you in person finally-yes, you with the 216,000plus and growing hits. and congratulations on your win. and should i say welcome back to the running circuit. it is a given that it is one thing to muster the courage to introduce oneself but it is another matter to wait for all your adoring fans to thin out in numbers before being able to “solo” you. for that, thank you for your time and photo- op yesterday.

    one nice thing about running the mountains is that feeling of running “high”. now, if only baguio has less of smoke-belching vehicles, it would be a much, much better place to run.

    well, see you when i see you. i hope and pray that your shins will hold up and behave for all your future races.

  17. Congrats on your win Jaymie! What an amazing comeback! The bull is starting to beat the matadors again. I will remember to avoid wearing red when I am running with you to avoid your killer horns!

  20. My husband didn’t officially win 2nd place in this race because of the wristband issue. We got all the gear for him on Saturday evening but because we both didn’t read the requirements properly and it wasn’t explained to us properly in the shop when he entered, he was disqualified. Anyway, he enjoyed it so much and still for us, he came second and should have won his age category. Lesson to be learned once again, read the small prints and ask when in doubt.
