century superbods 2010 review

i finished the race at 52:55 with 7.55 km logged in my nikeplus. my guess was that that i might have taken a wrong turn somewhere. and true enough, i was correct. there are a lot of complaints in running forums that in the 6K mark, marshals were asking the 10K runners to turn left, back to the BHS area, instead of heading straight towards MC Home Depot and St. Lukes. unfortunately, i was one of those runners. bummer. that explains my unrealistic 52:50 net time !!!

o well. if i didn’t take that left turn, i could have finished the race in approximately 70 minutes (I was running at 7 km per minute pace). and that would have been a feat for me since my target was a sub-75 minute 10K run. frustrating.

note: my official result in the runrio site is 1:16:30. (bib 8522) - both gun-start and net-time. weird right? considering i started 15 minutes late (together with the 5K runners)...

i'm still waiting for the race analysis to be posted in the century tuna superbods site.
