Mizuno pulled out all the stops for the Mizuno Infinity Run held at 5:30 a.m. this morning. If you were among the many runners who participated in the event, you were in for a big surprise, which was revealed soon after you crossed the finish line!
You did not know that your performance today would be somewhat of a time trial, did you? Your time today will be compared with the surprise Mizuno race scheduled for 01.10.10. Mizuno kept it top secret to prevent runners from sandbagging their event.
In the second race, winners will be chosen based on their personal improvement from today’s race. The great thing about this is that it levels out the playing field for everyone—runners who show significant improvements from their old time in their categories have a chance to win! With this double racing event, Mizuno aims to send out the message that we must all try to be the best that we can be.
I’m sure you have a lot of questions. Details will be provided by Mizuno and will be posted here.
Congratulations to Mizuno for thinking out of the box and giving us runners another great race to look forward to—and train hard for! I can hardly wait!
As I type this, I hear the birds chirping outside and realize that there is no sound of the rain’s pitter patter on our roof. Finally, there’s hope of clear blue skies for today.
Normally, the rain doesn’t bother me much. In fact, I love the occasional run that leaves me soaked not just in sweat but in rain water too. But, lately, the unpredictable weather has been giving me much agony.
You see, I registered for Mizuno Infinity Run 15k (June 7) and Animo Tri Mini-Sprint (June 14). I haven’t run over 10k since Condura in March and I haven’t entered a pool in days. (I’ve been very consistent with gym work and running thrice a week each. Oh, and thrice a week massage too, of course!) The only saving grace in this worrisome scenario is that I registered only for a Mini-Sprint at Animo (same distance I did last year since I didn’t want to stress myself out over a 950m swim along with the kids’ start of school) so I only hope to improve my deplorable swim and bike times.
I had a lot of plans last weekend. Not just any kind of training, but training with new tri teams and coaches:
Saturday:
PLAN: Short run around BHS
EXPERIENCE: cancelled due to rain, had breakfast at Pancake House instead
Sunday:
PLAN: First time bike-run training with Sunkist Tri-Hard Team (just a trial!)
EXPERIENCE: Skipped it due to rain, extended sleeping time instead. Learned yesterday that they pushed through despite the rain.
Monday:
PLAN: First time swim training with tri friends and Ani de Leon
EXPERIENCE: Cancelled due to rain, 5k treadmill run instead
So many exciting plans, so much rain! I know, I know, I shouldn’t blame my lack of training on the rain. Still, I hope for brighter days ahead…at least for the next two weeks, please.
I don’t care if this Sunset Run is a week after my Singapore Half Marathon; I’m going to this one. I can already smell the salt water, feel the pain in my legs from the steep and rough inclines, and imagine the picturesque sunset I’ll be viewing during the race. Oooh, I cannot wait.
