“Experience is the best teacher”

The second session of the 2011 BDM 102K Ultramarathon Race Lecture will be held this coming Friday, October 22, 2010 in one of the Function Rooms of the Philippine Army Officers’ Clubhouse, Headquarters Philippine Army, Fort Bonifacio. The lecture will start at 6:00 PM and ends at 7:00 PM.

I have invited two distinguished guest lecturers whom I consider as well-experienced in the field of ultramarathon events since the start of the BDM 102 and other PAU Races for the past two years. The first lecturer is Gene Olvis who had been consistently joining the BDM 102 and PAU races. He will impart to the audience about his training and preparation for the BDM 102 races as well as his experiences during the race. On the other hand, I have invited Bea Hernandez, the wife of ultramarathoner Mark, who will discuss her tips and experiences on being a Support Crew to his husband to the recent BDM 102 and PAU Races.

All “first-timers” for the BDM 102 and those who are still waiting for their invitation are highly encouraged to listen and be a part of this lecture. BDM 102 “veterans” who are qualified for the 1st BDM 151 are also encouraged to join this lecture.

(Note: The Secretariat of the 2011 BDM 102 event will be present during the lecture and applicants for the BDM 102 who have not yet received their “invitation” can coordinate with them. The Secretariat will also be there to receive and process registration for the 4th PAU 50K Run/”T2N”)
