Nature Valley Run 2010: RunRio Trilogy Leg 2

My Running Diary:

With what had been the result of the Nature Valley Run 2010; I believe the negative feedback from the RunRio Trilogy Leg 1 had already been erased. Indeed, Coach Rio De La Cruz had been true to his words of being able to make it up to us (runners) this time in the Leg 2. Hence, despite the fact that we (my girl and I) were late, the fun run was, indeed, FUN.

With the 11,000 plus runners, making way to the starting line is not that difficult as compared to the first one. Marshals on the starting line were telling 5K runners to make way for us (10K) late runners.
Water stations is that sufficient. There were considerably looooooong table that contains water and 100 plus in the hydration booth, making it easy to get a drink for hydration.
Marshals are equally sufficient together with the KM markers.
Claiming of loot bags after finishing the race has no queuing.
And we (runners) should be proud that we were equivalent to a tree (1 runner = 1 tree).
Race Results were already out a day after the race.

A thing that I dislike about the race was when we (10K runners) have to merge with the flock of 5K runners before our 3K mark. The crowd was that huge. My girl had to run on the plant boxes in order to free herself from that major traffic jam.
As always, I hope runners would have that discipline of not leaving their plastic cups behind. They were putting the runners that are left behind at risk. As for the race organizers, I hope that they would use paper cups instead. Let's love our planet. It's the only thing that we got.
