New 10k PR set at Botak Paa-Bilisan

Botak Paa-Bilisan Road Race Series
Date: March 1, 2009
Dis­tance: 10 km
Offi­cial Time: 50:46

Wow! Another PR. From sub-52 to sub-51. Next tar­get, a sub-50.

Some notes:

• I saw a run­ner on his bare feet. I took over past him as I made a sprint towards the fin­ish line.
• I saw FF’s beau­ti­ful RPM/Cycling instruc­tor, Michelle. Oh my! I got chicked. I was able to pace with her from the sec­ond kilo­me­ter, but fatigue hit me at the fifth kilo­me­ter. I ate her dust. She’ll be my tar­get next time.
• Based on our speed train­ing ses­sions at the ULTRA. My 100% is at 4:51 min/km. Based on my obser­va­tions on the pre­vi­ous races, I can keep up with that pace for about 30 min­utes. And after that, I tend to become slower.
• I think, invest­ing on a good watch will be a good idea as I can mon­i­tor my speed, heart rate, dis­tance, etc. Oh! I want a GF!
• Also, every­time there’s a water sta­tion I tend to walk while drink­ing. Pre­cious sec­onds can be saved if I can learn to drink while running.
