Adidas KOTR October 11, 2008

Adidas did a great job with this year's King of the Road Run. It was fun to finally run along the EDSA-Buendia flyover and along Buendia avenue. I finished with a terrible time but I'm not really competitive anyway. I was stopping a lot along the way and it was not to stop and smell the roses.

We were all lucky to have great weather that day. The sun was raging by 6AM which was much better than the last rain-drenched event I joined.

Nobody dared miss this one. I guess for many people, Adidas KOTR would be the main event of the year. For 10K alone, there were 1,400 plus finishers ( I also saw most of them...while they were on the stretch run back to the Fort :) ) .

At the finish line, I got to hang around with my nephew and watch the 21-K runners. These guys really impress me. Someday, I wish I can join and finish this event. I remember seeing one of the girls at this finish who seemed to be running out of breath. Good thing she didn't collapse. Her boyfriend and dog where with her at the finish line and they seemed to be in better shape. Oh well, that's my enduring image for the day.
