This is DAY FIVE, the last day, of TBR’s 5 Days to 5/5 Anniversary Contest 2012. For more info, click HERE.
WHAT CAN YOU WIN?
The Grand Prize for the 5 Days to 5/5 Contest is worth over P20,000!

HOW MANY WINNERS?
There will be one (1) winner, but, just like last year, there’s a catch!
The winner doesn’t get to keep all the prizes. He must “share the wealth” with a DESERVING RUNNER OF HIS CHOICE. I repeat, the person chosen must be a RUNNER so that the items will not go to waste! That person may be a loved one, a teammate, a colleague, or even a stranger who you’ve seen racing without shoes. The items that MUST be given to the other runner are:
- 1 of the two shoes (KSwiss or New Balance)
- 1 Runnr race hat
- 1 Runnr dry max socks (3-in-1)
- 1 Runnr sports towel
- 1 Runnr water bottle

- Bike Fit at All Terra
My new BF, my Shiv from Specialized, and I went on our first date last week. We dropped by All Terra for my first bike fit with him. There to greet me was owner, Edmund Mangaser, and Coach Andy Leuterio.
- with Edmund Mangaser of All Terra -The Shiv was placed into the trainer while I changed into my bike shoes. Newbie me didn’t know that I should’ve come in biking attire. Whoops! Edmund told me that I was the first one he’d ever bike fit in casual clothes. Hey, there’s a first for everything, Edmund!
THE BIKE FIT PROCESS
1) Edmund measured my inseam. This gave him an idea what saddle height he would start me with.
2) Using a goniometer, he adjusted the saddle to a height that gave me a leg bent angle of 35 degrees of flexion. A height that wasn’t too high for newbies, but would still allow for good leg extension.
- Edmund measures the angle at which my legs bend -
– Edmund marks my legs with a pentel. Later that evening, I had dinner with my sister not realizing I still had those large moles on my legs! -3) Edmund then adjusted the saddle fore/aft position. He adjusted my saddle forward to allow me to use my aero bars without bending too much from the waist. He also made sure that when the pedal is at 3 o’clock position, my legs can apply power to the pedals.
4) Next was saddle tilt. He simply positioned the saddle at a level position.
5) Lastly, he worked on the cockpit area. He made adjustments to the front end (handle bar/aero bars) to put me in aero position and to allow my arms to support my head weight well especially when I start assuming a tucked aero position.
- What do you mean I can’t do my bike-walk intervals at Ironman 70.3?! -
Beyond the bike fit, Edmund gave practical tips on biking which I greatly appreciated. He reminded me that the bike fit is a work-in-progress. It cannot be perfected in just one meeting. Ultimately, I must return every now and then to make adjustments as I progress.
Before leaving, Edmund revealed that we had actually worked together before. Confused, I asked where. He handed me a brochure for an ad I did one or two years ago. Turns out, he was the biker with me in the brochure. We never met because our shoots were done separately. Small world!

PRESS RELEASE
In Unilab ActiveHealth’s continuing efforts to promote an active and healthy lifestyle among families, 2012 Run United will have its second leg on June 17, 2012 at SM Mall of Asia.
Kids from age 5 to 12 years old can join the Ceelin 500-meter dash to jumpstart their journey to fitness. Moms, dads and older siblings can choose from the different race categories like 3km, 5km, 10km, and 21km.
Registered participants of 500-meter dash, 3km, 5km, and 10km will receive their singlet upon registration. The Active Health race belt bag, bib with timing chip, and Riovana 10% discount stub can be claimed during the 1st ever Run United race expo scheduled on June 13-16, 2012 at BGC Grounds Riovana from 2pm to 8pm on June 13 and 10am to 8pm on June 14-16.
The participants of the 21k category will have a different singlet color design which makes the runners extra special, aside from the freebies that they will get during the race expo in BGC and the 2nd piece of the collectible medal and finisher shirt. A personalized RunRio Timing Card will be exclusively given to them they just need to present their old IPICO timing chip during the registration to get the replacement.
21km runners will also get to enjoy running the Bonifacio Global City to Mall of Asia race route, giving them a chance to improve their PR for Run United 1. Shuttle service will be provided from MOA as pick-up point for 21km runners.
“Active Health delivers Unilab’s vision of providing active health solutions for Filipino families,” Unilab Active Health Head Alex Panlilio said. “We encourage families to start or continue leading active lives through our events like Run United.
Active Health Sport Events Executive Lester Castillo said, “As we have always done in the past, we continuously improve Run United series to give runners a better experience and encourage them to keep running. Through our partnership with Coach Rio dela Cruz, Run United has become one, if not the best, running event in the country.”
As a testament to the level of commitment that Active Health brings to the runners, it has brought in the Team Bike Boutique, the official merchandise partner of Ironman races worldwide, to organize the Run United Race Expo happening on June 13-16, 2012 at the BGC Grounds near Mercato.
The race expo completes the active health experience by gathering runners, sports enthusiasts and their families in this four-day event. Runners can hang out with their friends while checking out the coolest and latest sports apparel. Fitness and athletic brands also present their latest products and services, including gadgets, running gear, among others.
Coach Rio dela Cruz said the race expo brings Run United to a whole new level. “Major international marathons like the ING New York Marathon and Chicago Marathon hold their own expos days before the event. Together with UNILAB Active Health, we look at some of the best practices from international races, and apply them to the Run United Series to further enhance the race experience of the Filipino running community.”

Route Maps:
- 21k route map as of April 30 -
- Labor Day Brick at Nuvali
There was a lot of work cut out for us this Labor Day holiday! Friends and I decided to head South for an easy brick session at Nuvali. (“Brick” is a bike then run training session.) It was to be my first brick this year (if you don’t count Tri United 1).
When we arrived at Evoliving Center, the parking lot was packed with bikers. No surprise that there were a lot of us today since it was a wonderful day for a ride.
- Me and Maricel Pangilinan. Anthony in the background busy tweeting -
– Fernando, Jun Cruz, Ton Gatmaitan, and Jake de Guzman -
– Team Tribe’s Ariel Arriola, TBRDM alumni and NYCM 2011 Finishers Gene Tamesis and Rico Manuel -As we prepared to take off, my new boyfriend, the Shiv, and I got a little bit jittery as we’re still in the getting-to-know-you stage. I’m still adjusting to him and vice versa. (Wow, this Shiv of mine is pretty popular. So many people, mostly middle-aged men want to see or touch him. Good thing I’m not the jealous type. tsk tsk.)
Thankfully, the entire ride was smooth and safe for me despite my worries. It was actually an easy, fun, and scenic bike ride throughout Nuvali. The steep ascents were nerve wracking, but conquering them for the first time on a bike was an amazing experience. For a moment, I actually felt like I was “taming” the Shiv just as Coach Andy Leuterio had advised that I would.
We ran a quick 20 minute run under the intense heat. Half the time I was wondering why I put myself through all this, but a little part of me enjoyed all the suffering. Perfect way to commemorate Labor day I think!

May 5 is a special day for me and my blog. I turn 36 (gasp!) and TBR turns 5 (woah!) How I wish it was the other way around haha.
There’s much to be thankful for during the past 36 years of my life, but most especially for the last 5 of them when TBR came to life. It’s been an awesome, overwhelming ride and I thank you for joining me at one point or another whenever you click on the site with the pink bull in green shoes, when you comment, send an email, FB message, or tweet, or when you say hi when we cross paths on the road. I may not be able to personally say Thank You to each and everyone of you, but please know that I truly appreciate it.
As my way of giving thanks, as I’ve done the past 4 years, I’ll be treating you guys for five full days of contests, fun, and, last but not the least, lots of surprises. (Okay, I’ll tell you now, the grand prize amounts to almost P20,000 in running items! Woohoo!) Thank you also to our generous sponsors for all the prizes we’ll be giving away.
This, my friends, is the official launch of the series of contests which begins tomorrow, MAY 1.
Now, on to CONTEST RULES:
- Everyday from May 1 to May 5, 2012, I will post an entry on 5 to 5/5 Contest. Only one contest entry per day with no particular schedule.
- Rules, prizes, and contest period will vary from day to day and will be explained in detail in that specific post. (Clue: Usually the early birds have more chances of winning.)
- Contest will be announced on thebullrunner.com but may also be played out on this blog, Facebook, Twitter, or on the email newsletter (I hope you’ve subscribed) OR all of the above.
- Winners can win as many prizes as they want. So, let’s say you win on Day 1, you can win again on Days 2, 3, 4 and 5. By May 5, you may accumulate enough prizes to retire from your day job and just focus on running! (Yeah right!)
Day One starts TOMORROW. Stay tuned!
