CIHM 2012 - Race track preview and More++.

For the first timers like us, here are some sneak- peak  of  of Corregidor’s  race track, highlighting  the “Malinta Tunnel” and more. Video courtesy of fellow mountaineers from Ayala Mountaineering Club Inc. (AMCI). 40 AMCI basic mountaineering course trainees spend the weekend in Corregidor Island for the penultimate series of activities in 2009. Since running is one of the best cross training for mountaineering.

Some trails in CIHM on December 1, will be pretty much like this. So you’ll have an idea how beautiful the place is and perhaps prepare some strategies.

Enjoy!

We also look forward for the Carbo loading Dinner, thus ito agad ang inuna kong kinuha. I got ticket number’s 1 & 2 exited much. Carbo loading dinner will be catered by Yellow Cab. How’s that?  

Got our race kits, sizes are a bit big for us, since American sizing ito to benefit expat participants. But coach Edward advised us that shirt can be replaced on the race day.

We’ll be camping out, to have some little adventure and to enjoy the place even more. Camp site is at the South Dock which where the carbo dinner will also be held.  We even got a new tent for this event. Hehe.  

Checklist for campers (Basic) for beginners and Reminders for the regulars.  

Tent (for beginners you can buy sa Coleman, I suggest yung  SUN DOME tent nila 2,300 ata 2persons)

Sleeping bag or Earth pad since you would want to have a good sleep before the. Earth pad would do and mas mura compare sa sleeping bag. You can buy sa mga outdoor shops at Mega Mall, Robinsons Galle and Pioneer, Trinoma. 300 pesos yung earth pad 900 to 1300 yung sleeping bag.

Implantable pillow mahirap matulog ng walang unan, and it would be bulky naman if you would bring a regular pillow. I recommend Intex Implantable pillow you can buy this at any department store 100 pesos, comfortable sya and light weight at the same time.

 

Wind and Cold protections it is really cold at night much more sea sidAe pa yung site. Yan lagi ko problema when camping out. Bring Jacket, pants, socks and Thermal blanket for emergency ito yung silver foil you can also buy this sa mga outdoor shops. 100 to 200 pesos. This is important lalu na kung ginawin kayo.

Lights I suggest head lamps, para hands free and practical anywhere you look maliwanag. For beginners you can buy energizers or Eveready head lamps. 400 to 700 yung Energizer with night mode and 270 yung Eveready. You can buy this at Handy Man or ACE hardware (which I think naka sale pa yung energizer) I would not recommend yung mga generic na madi in china, sakit lang sa ulo.  

Cook ware, if you’ll will also consider cooking your own food. Medyo complicated ito since you would need to bring a cook set: Stove and butane gas cook ware. And medyo mahal bumili nito. Marami naman kaninan sa place so this wont be a problem and if you avail the carbo dinner ok na, since may free lunch namn on the race day.

Siguro just bring your owns spoon and pork and  paper plates.

But if you want to sip tea/coffee at night Just approach us we can cover that. Mag pakulo ako ng tubig for you.  

Ample amount of toiletries ok na yung mga nasa sachets para hindi mabigat.

Dri-fit shirts paraligt weight and easy to dry pag nabasa.

Water proofing ziplocks for gadgets, disposable ponchos for you. You can buy dispoable ponchos sa Coleman and any outdoor shops 75 pesos.

Medicine kit  liniment para sa lamig, and other essentials.

Hope to see more campers sa site para  mas masaya.

Couple din kami mag camp-out, Red coleman tent yung gagamitin namin. Just approach us at the camp site if you’ll be needing some assistance.

Good luck to all of us and Many Thanks to Coach Edward and his associates for putting up this one of kind running event!

We Run, You should run too. (Nike We Run PH)

Nike Fanboys and girls… If you’re planning to buy your next Nike dri-fit shirt for whatever reason… Well, we suggest you join the Nike  “We Run Manila” happening on December 02 at the SM Mall of Asia.



Here's why…
For 1,200 php if  you’re above 25 of age and 800 php if you’re below 25; you’ll get to have not one but two NIKE shirt and a water bottle. A personalized singlet  since your racing number is already printed on the shirt, and a gorgeous finisher shirt if you join and finish the run within 2 and half hours.
A Nike shirt would normally cost 900 to 1,300… For that price you can have 2 plus a 500 worth of Nike squeeze bottle and  of course experience one of the most anticipated  runs in the PH.
How’s that?

Nike We Run 2012 kit?

 

Registration is on and several people are talking more about the the price and how it is categorized, since it is done by age (pricing)

Runners are wondering about its rationality.

Got  some preview of  kits form Takbo.ph, but these are kits from other countries, pretty much it would be the same here in PH, I hope so.

Would this be worth the price? Is it too much to ask for a finisher medal?

Adidas KOTR 2012 in Multi-Color

Adidas is once again ALL-IN in this year’s adidas King of the Road (KOTR) 2012! Featuring 5KM, 10KM and its signature 16.8KM distances happening at the Bonifacio Global City on September 30, 2012! So, are you IN!?

Right after we saw the announcement in Pinoyfitness we went straight to Trinoma to  have the leverage on selecting  our desired singlet color. Unfortunately early bird registration wont still be an assurance  that we’ll get the color we’ve wanted. But they advised us that once delivered we can immediately replace it “priority” on our registered site with our preferred color. Thus early registration means nothing… waste of effort.   

Mai wishing that she will get the purple singlet.
  

 

Good thing I went to Adidas Trinoma yesterday to check some apparels so I also asked them updates on the delivery of our singlets since they started distributing it for on-site registration. (So people who are just registering at this period is luckier to pick their desired color). The staff advised me that I can already claim our singlets that I don’t have to wait for the delivery that will start on September 8. That was indeed good news.

Finally our  desired Singlets!

 

The kit includes 1000 GC from TimeStudio and 500 discount on Sennheiser earphones. Not bad…

So we suggest that for those who registered early and are  still waiting for their singlet to be delivered (Starting September 8) Go to your registration site instead and claim your desired singlet.

Columbia ECO Trail Run: Pinatubo

Columbia Eco Trail is a Trail Running Event organized by Columbia. This event is held in the different provinces of the Philippines. Each Trail is different kind of thrill and challenge. This is the first Eco Trail Event that will be held in Mt. Pinatubo.

Columbia has always been an advocate of local tourism and the environment. These activities do not only highlight the beauty of each province but also drives local tourism. Columbia organizes low-impact (on the environment), adrenalin pumping adventures that will be enjoyed by the adventurous and weekend warriors as well.

Thank goodness we made it, first 20 registrants at SM Mega Mall today, (4 slots left as of 11:30AM). I went there yesterday to register Myself and Mai right after I saw their posting wishing that we can be included in the first 20 for free shuttle ride. In my dismay you cannot register other person since they (Columbia) require participants to sign a waiver in the store only (you need to be physically present to register your-self). They are quite particular on it since accident might occur in trail runs they wanted to be sure that participants did understand and personally singed the waiver which I think is fair enough. Also for the slots not to be sold-out to a certain group only.

Actual Singlet design (Front)

Back (No print) I wish they could have been more creative here.

Upon registration, singlet and bib are already available. Also a 50% off on selected shoes on the day you register but you need to avail on that day/moment only. The 20% discount coupon is valid  up to November 13.

Timing chip is attached at the back of the Bib, powered by STRIDER the same timing chip used by Merrel Adventure Run last June. Good choice of timing chip.

Free ride (Two way) are  only allotted for the first 20 registrants of any category per Store. (Could have been best if they will offer an option to pay for a ride. Since going at the site is pretty tough. Kindly consider that Columbia.

Merrell adventure run 2012; Adventure it is.

Finally we’re about to run this adventure race on the 2nd of June. We’ve just learned about it last year and planned to try it, but unfortunately our schedule did not permit us.

Well, we almost missed it again since we just registered on the last day of registration at Trinoma (the last registration point that still have slots for 5K and 10K only) and luckily enough we made it. We wanted to run the 21k but 10k is very much welcome, since this will be just a week away from another run that we joining “AmCham Run for a scholar”.  Obviously we’re not on the competitive level of running, not yet.

What made us more interested about this run is the trail. The Organizer promotes it to be a rugged run as it leads you through dirt roads, flowing streams, river crossing, rock scrambling, and uphill & downhill trails. (A mountaineer's playground.)

Trail running is expected to be rough anyway. But after learning about the test run conducted by the organizer from some invited bloggers: (Kain.Laboy.Takbo and RUNNING FREE), can’t help but compare it to our last trail run (TNF100 21km)*. This seems to be tougher, rougher and more fun as the pictures shows. But the TNF100 (50km and 100km) is another thing and it’s a killer.

TNF100,  Yours truly on my ever reliable Merrell Riot shoes.

This will also be perfect venue to test my "waterpro Ottawa", let's see if it will perform its duty..

Pictures courtesy of fellow bloggers:

Kain.Laboy.Takbo and RUNNING FREE

 




Seems that Merrell is putting some new flavors in Trail running. They're true to their words; that this will be one rugged run. Adventure you want, adventure you'll get...
