It was raining and there were lots of water in the different Aid Stations but it was proven by the MASTERS runners that all the things that I mentioned in the title of this post could easily mix in their stomachs and gave them enough fuel to recover their tired legs and bodies immediately after running a distance of 15 kilometers!

1) Mr Amado Castro, Jr aka Reinier 6666 who paid for the rent of clock/timer from PATAFA

Congratulations BR! It was a race free from any commercialism and concentrated purely on running! The route is the cleanest and safest within the city proper. After the race, at around 8am I do not how I mixed the ice buko and the beer never done that before, but, I guess it is the company! Thank you to all again.

Congrats Sir Jovie! I didn’t know it was possible to have so much fun after a race. The beer was a great idea however, kulang sa pulutan. So for the next Masters, I am changing my donation from bananas to barbecue. Cheers!
