Cagayan de Oro city,
barangay Upper Carmen,

August 8, 2010,
6.00 AM
Street run, starting at the back of SM, running in the area
of Pueblo de Oro, maximum
distance 10 km.,

our helps, we cannot do
without them,
Bingbing, Johnjohn,
(Johjoh motor driver) and An-an
_I was
confused once I returned home and studied the results list.
Confused indeed because most of the runners were really fast
in the 10 km.
So, what I suspect in the first place was, that the first 3 runners
were doing the
whole track, passing the leg Xavier University two times, but the
others maybe just passing one time and going straight from the
end(5 km point) along the main road back and doing the Call
Centre for the second time, then the track along the Catholic
Church second time and so on.
Or even postponing the complete leg along the Xavier University?
_But, after long time thinking I made up my mind again, probably the track was just fast (an
almost flat track!) and not too
much hot weather, although it was already 25.2 degrees Celsius
when we started and a humidity of 33.7%
Meaning, we experienced a fast race and it was obvious because
we saw several times contestants dueling in the last few
hundred meters.
Also meaning, lots of runners were in a good physical condition/shape
and prepared to duel.
_Well, first I have to run it my self and then I know
more about this track I created and arrowed well, I didn't get
any complaint or remarks about it.
Anyway, it is always a fun run, but I just like to serve every runner
creating a correct distance and finish time, runners just decide
themselves how
far they like to run, but always let the organization know, how far you
went.
Only the ones who are surely running the correct distance in 5
or 10 km will be announced eventually in the media.

Adriano, Joven, Eduardo, Bryan, Santy, Pedro and Jerald
_First
we had a group
of 4 fast runners knowing Neil Catiil(CDO Triathlon), Jerald
Zabala(OSRC), Banjo Norte(BSI triathlete), newcomer Bryan
Antero and not far after them BSI triathlete Karl Valles.
During the race Bryan had to change his fourth place to Karl, so
this was the first struggle in the top of the finishing list.
In first place came Neil Catiil, second Jerald Zabala, third
Banjo Norte, fourth Karl Valles and fifth Bryan Antero.
_Next interesting duel was between the Oro Sunday Runners
Joven Clavero and Adriano Salering, normally a victory for the
much younger Joven.
But, in the last few hundred meters we witnessed a very strong
acting Adriano, so Joven probably was out of power with the
finish line in sight?
_Next 3 runners fighting for a good place were Santy
Nacalaban(OSRC), Jun Ramos(OSRC) and newcomer John Paul Dacoco.
John Paul was able to beat the two others in the last 300 meters
and Santy was defeating Jun in the last 100 meters.
_150 Meters behind them was BSI athlete Dean Frederick
Yap consolidating his eleventh place.
_Next competing couple were BSI triathletes Jose
A.M.Torres(14) and BSI youngster Melchor Chamen(12), who also were
fighting for victory in the last 100 meters wherein Torres was
the strongest.
_They were followed by OSRC runner Peter Cabañez ending 30
seconds behind Melchor.
_After two minutes only, OSRC runner Vic Catiil was also
strong in his performance to end up close to 50 minutes and even
the OSRC President Ricardo Fabe was this morning full of
inspiration and power to end up in only 52.12 !
_Within between of them newcomer Eduardo Balibay who also
showed a strong performance.
_Then we have only two BSI triathlete youngsters to go,
Genesis Baluran(16), 30 seconds later followed by Annabelle Torres(13),
showing how much she was giving in this race.
_Latest message:
Friday, august 13 the vice President of the Oro Sunday Runners
was running the track in 49 minutes and 54 seconds.
Friday is his interval training day, but he noticed that morning a
nice low temperature of
22°C because of a clear sky during the night.
He jumped on his scooter, direction Pueblo de Oro and started at
5.30, a little bit late because after 6 AM the sun was
already able to heat him up more.
_What he forgot was that he already ran a fast 10 km down
and up hill Wednesday before, so he still could feel this in his
muscles, no 'good' legs.
He realized that 50 minutes for 10 km was still possible but it
depends on several factors to finish under or beyond
this time.
_Anyway, I was fighting 10 long kilometers to beat Vic and of
course Ricardo, hehehe.
Oh, one mistake I made Saturday morning while arrowing the track
and painting distance numbers, I painted a second 4 km point what
of course had to be 4,5 km, sorry folks!
All athletes
very well done!
Next fun run on:
Sunday September 5, start
at 06.00 AM, we will run in the area behind The Sacred Heart of
Jesus Christ Montessori High School in Gusa along the Borja
Extension, entrance of Mountain Meadows/Fil Estate.
The planning is to make a cross country/street
cross.
As soon as we have more information it will be published on this website.
