Completing the RunRio Race 2012 Trilogy

At last I've completed the Runrio Trilogy (UNILAB ActiveHealth) 2012; 1st and 2nd Leg are both 21k Runs.  The last one is a 32k Run.  The experience is great! The rain didn't stop us, the runners, in getting our goal.  It was said that in this 32k event alone, there are almost 3k runners! Although I didn't not completed my training program for this running event, I've managed to finished the run.  There are some things I've learned from this event -  don't drink too much water or else you will need to pee and by peeing you will waste a lot of time; the CLIFF Shot Energy Gel worked for me (test before the actual race day); run at your own pace.  Since it is a rainy day, I was forced to run without my eyeglasses and run slowly than my usual pace.  I also saw the Kenyans (running for 21k event) along Buendia (these guys really run fast!).  I wanted to run the 1st Philippine UNILAB Marathon this October but I won't run it because this is only my first year of running,  and based from what I've read,  they are saying that you do not run full marathon on your first year of running. I'll follow their advice.  Instead, I'll prepare for my first marathon which will be on February next year.  Hopefully I'll complete my training program for this one.  Finished the 32k at 3:54:38 chiptime (yahoo!).
