This race is different from the past 5 races for the following reasons:

1. Prizes: 6 coupons for 20% discount off on Nike+ SportsBand. (I’m reserving one for Rhea/Marvs, RunMD, Marga, and another for my running buddy, Annie, who I know will win in the Nike+ Human Race if she just gets herself a SportsBand before race day.)
2. Contest:  First 6 commenters get the coupons.  No fill in the blank sentences.  Just let me know you want one by commenting below.
3. Participants: Please comment below only if you are truly going to use the coupons to purchase the Nike+ SportsBand and eventually use it to join the Nike+ Human Race on 08.31.08

Thank you once again to all the participants of this race! For the first time in TBR’s race history (as if we’ve been doing this for years!), the favorite TBR commenter who gained 4 additional entries was the one who snagged the Nike+ SportsBand. 

And the last winner of the Nike+ SportsBand is…

LEVY ANG! 

Congrats to Levy, the pseudo virgin!

Oh, I forgot to discuss one last rule of the race: Should any one of the winners—Lisa, Ever, Winna, Carlo, or Levy—feel the need to share their good fortune with the less fortunate (such as TBR who lost her sensor last week while running in the rain), they may simply contact TBR and inform her of their wish to give the prize to her instead so that she and her husband can run the Nike+ Human Race together. For that, TBR will be eternally grateful. She’s obviously in desperate need of another Nike+ SportsBand herself.

Surprise surprise! Here’s your last chance to win the Nike+ SportsBand!

I deserve the last Nike+ SportsBand because _________________________.

Some of you were hilarious…

MY IDEAL RUN WOULD BE IN A DEEP SEA DIVING SUITE ON THE BOTTOM OF PASIG RIVER WITH MY BOSS.

– Carlo Miguel Gonzalez

While some were sentimental…

My ideal run would be in memory of my lola on a rainy day with her song in my head. 

– Backpacker

While others were plain sipsip…(hahaha!)

My ideal run would be in Central Park reservoir on a beautiful Sunday morning with the beautiful bullrunner (naks!) 

– Cruel

After much thought, I decided to give the 4 additional entries to Backpacker who’s comment tugged at my heart strings. Aaaw.

And so, from the top 20 plus 4 entries from Backpacker, my son chose the 4th winner of the Nike+ SportsBand.  And the winner is someone who’ll have all the time to run after his boss reads his comment…

CARLO MIGUEL GONZALES!  

Congratulations Carlo!

4 down and 1 Nike+ SportsBand to go.  See you at the last race!
