Michelle Estuar's FUNd Racing @ ULTRA - Race Day Pics

This morning, November 30, 2011, some 1,000 runners gathered for the Michelle Estuar's FUNd Racing held at ULTRA, Pasig. It was a new route for me running at Ortigas Center and the 2 loops of Meralco Flyover. And the challenge ended with another elevation at the St. Paul Road and another last hike inside the ULTRA compound few meters before the finish line at the oval.

But despite of the route elevations, I managed to set a new PR for 10K, unofficially my finish time is 58 minutes which is my first sub 60 finish! Thanks to my pacermate from ARC (I forgot to get his name - next time at ARC will surely get his name :-)

It was also great to meet a lot of new Pinoy Fitness.com peeps like Goldy, Pissed off Chick, BratinELLA, Kukai, Joy_c, Elvin, JC, Allan and of course for the second time I got to meet and have longer time to chat with Roxanne and the always present Ms_Mars.

Michelle Estuar's FUNd Racing @ ULTRA - My Race Bib

Last Thursday, November 24, 2011, I registered for the Michelle Estuar's FUNd Racing at the ARC store before the usual Thursday Fun Run.

The race will be on November 30th, it is a regular holiday in the Philippines so I will be free to join this event. I signed up for 10K run, actually this is just my third official 10K run as I have done more 21K's than shorter distance events.

My first 10K was at the QCIM2 last December 2010 and my second 10K was at the Nike We Run Manila last October 2011. After my first 10K last year, I jumped into 21K (half marathon) last February 2011 at the Condura Skyway Marathon and have done seven official 21K's excluding LSD's and my 32K last November 13 at the Run United 3.

Officially, this 10K run will be my last run prior to my first full marathon on December 4 at the Quezon City International Marathon.
