I'm in! Hello KOTR 2010 and TBR DM 2011

Last Saturday was a hectic day. I went home after work and have myself for a nap to do my task for the day: to register for Adidas King of the Road 2010 (KOTR) and The Bull Runner Dream Marathon 2011 (TBR DM). I woke at exactly ten in the morning and prepared myself for the weekend task. 


I  went to Adidas Shangri-La for the Adidas King of the Road 2010. I went there the other day and the race kits for 21K category were completely gone and all the race kits were sold as early one in the afternoon that day. So I arrived and I saw some participants waiting for the arrival of the race kits since there are sold out. So I decided to go to Bonifacio High Street for the TBR DM registration and since Runnr Store is offering the registaration for KOTR. Since I'll be taking MRT going to Ayala, I decided to drop by Adidas Glorietta 3. I arrived there I saw the staff fixing the boxes for KOTR registration and asked again, Miss meron na ba kayong race kit for 21K? (Is there any available 21K race kit.?). The staff replied with a smile, "Sir, wait na lang kayo or balik for a hour kasi for inventory pa." (Sir, is not yet available since we're still on inventory for the race kit and if you could go back after an hour.) Geeeeee! I could see the apprehension of some participants there. Many were mad and some stayed outside to get the kit


So, I decided to go to Greenbelt 3 just few blocks away since I'm just in the vicinity. When I arrived in Adidas Greenbelt, no single customer is around and staff are just mingling each other and courteously greeted me. I went to the counter and ask the staff, "Kuya may 21K race kit pa ba kayo kasi pangatlo Adidas store na pinuntahan ko?" (Sir, do you a race kit for 21K since I've been to several Adidas stores and this the third one.) The staff replied with a friendly smile. "Meron po" (We have). I quickly opened my bag and got registration form and my aNR Passport anbd showed my ID and then I'm in. I'm officially in to the race for Adidas King of the Road 2010 on March 24, 2010. I'm runner number 10328. After the tiring race of looking for the race kit, I finally got mine and for free. I gave my aNR Passport which testifies my hard work and patience for thee aNR Ortigas Wednesday night running sessions. Task one accomplished.


Moving on, I went to BHS for the TBR DM 2011. I arrived there I saw a lot registration booths for other running events and further I saw TBR DM 2011's booth. They have the most humblest booth, no fancy tarpaulin with a celebrity endorsing. They have only a piece of bond paper and with a hand-written "TBR DM  2011."  It's a small event with close to 400 first time full marathon runners but they have the most pampered event. They took pictures and handed to me my TBR card and welcome note from the organizer. I'm officially in to The Bull Runner Dream Marathon 2011 on March 20, 2011 in Nuvali, Laguna. I'm so excited for the bull sessions.


Mission accomplish for that day!
