Race #24: King of Davao

Race #24
Adidas King of Davao Run
September 4, 2011
15K
Davao Crocodile Park
Davao City

Adidas had their “King of the Road” fun run in Manila. Here, however Adidas, together with RunClub Davao, dubbed their run: “King of Davao”. To me, its sounds better. Its better to be king of a city than just a road right? And since I have done already several different categories at this point, why not add King of the Ring, I mean, King of Davao to my resume?

At the Davao Crocodile Park, people began lining up. My, a lot have joined for this race. Guess it has something to do with the singlet. This was different from the usual fun run singlets. It doesn’t have a lot of logos, mixture of colors, and pictures in it. The singlet was plain and simple, with just a small Adidas logo. It really looked like a jersey bought from Adidas!

Crocodile Park… but this time on Diversion roads instead of the trails. The path was long, curvy, and hilly. The roads go uphill and downhill, with lots of trees on both sides of the road. A great way to exercise my legs… ^_^

No-walk again for the third straight run. At this point, I’m not really sure if it’s a great strategy for long runs, but I’m still testing it out… Mission complete.

The prize of battle... sure it doesn't look like much, but its value can only be appreciated by the one who earned it. ^_^
