This particular Elite Team Bald Runner placed 3rd in rank after the race’s 1st day/leg was declared finished and another Elite Team Bald Runner finished 4th Place on the first day, too!

Bald Runner 
Congratulations again to Elite Team Bald Runners!! Being in the same race w/ the best runners in the Philippines can be intimidating but nevertheless inspiring! Although the race had multiple logistical problems, it was still an enjoyable experience. The alliance and camaraderie among runners was also great to watch. I kind of miss spending the day in a cramped up vehicle. Hehe 🙂 Good job to the Manager/Driver/Support/Coach in one! Whew
