Banditted the wrong race
Yesterday I was planning to run from home to the ROTARUN organized by takbo.ph. It was a little under 10Kms to go to the Fort, and my ITBS would probably limit my run to only 10Kms. So I decided to go there and then maybe wait for the takbo.ph people there. On my way there, I was able to cross the race path and saw a lot of familiar runners- Jovie aka BaldRunner, Coach Salazar, Patrick aka vVinceth, dennis aka Dennis, Luis aka Gingerbread, Paolo aka bastarunnersweetlover, and the very tall Alfred aka El Kyoshi- Oh my he is tall for a runner!
So here’s my run yesterday: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/13615672
When I arrived at the Fort, I was a little too early and the fast runners haven’t arrived yet. So I decided to go in front of the finish line and take photographs of the fastest runners. I was wondering why I can’t see any takbo.ph peeps at the finish line, so I texted Doc Lyndon. He said he was at the stage. But I couldn’t see him. It took me a little over an hour to realize I was in Enervon Prime Race, not the ROTARUN! What the…. I’ve just banditted the wrong race. Could any bandit runner any be dumber than this? For now, just enjoy these photographs of fast runners:
The race to 2.5K (the guy in yellow singlet won)
The 5K winner
A very fast Taki (he finished the 5K in 20:04!)
Young Man
Old Boy
Where is Doc Lyndon?

buti di ka nanalo sa enervon? hehehe anyways.. in 55 mins lang yung 10k? galing…
hahaha nice post, dude.
well, at least you still got to run even if you arrived at the wrong race.
hahaha! it’s actually embarrassing, I’m just trying to make it funny
see you on Thursday again at the Mizuno Run Clinic?
Patawa ka talaga natz. Pagod na pagod na ako when i got your text that you banditted in the wrong race. You made my day yestreday. Thanks my friend.
cheers,
Boss Manding, injured pa yan ha. Hehehe. Buti nga di ako nag cross sa finish line, kundi panalo ako. Bandit na nga, wrong race pa. Hehehe.
Sorry Doc, sometimes sh!t happens talaga. Mukha talaga akong tanga sa Enervon race, ako lang naka takbo.ph, hanap ng hanap sa mga takbo.ph. Hahaha!
hahaha! buti nalang bandit … tama lang ata sa’yo ang mag Enervon Prime… hehehe peace!
Haha Natz! For the books ito
Glad you are recovering well
Hehe! Anyone could have made the same mistake! Pero the way you made the mistake is tops! Fast Bandit in wrong race…Classic, Natz! Cheers!
LOL Natz comedy ka talaga hahahaha
What a fun bandit 
55 for 10k? Wow looks like you’re on the way back to recovery na. Konti na lang back to your usual sub-50 form bud. 
That was a funny story! Its nice you bandited the wrong race as enervon needs additional runners like you. hahaha!
yan kasi, bandit pa! wahehehehe
i guess part yan ng “recovery period” natz, wahahaha sa tagal mong nawala, baka na disorient na rin sa dami ng races on the same day at the almost the same venues hahaha
see you around bro!
Hahahaha. Nice Natz! Buti na lang hindi yan kasal mo.
Pagnagkataon eh iba ang bride mo nyan.
Mr. Natzer!! Haha! (Neil sent me this link pa talaga!)
It’s a sign.. kailangan mo na uminom ng Enervon-Prime!!! Peace, Natz!
Hey Natz, I’m just thinking you are lucky to be able to mistake one race for another there in Manila. Here if there was a race going on, it would be the only one scheduled for two months or so. No chance for me to bandit the wrong race and I wish I had the choice you guys do. Hope the ITB injury is clearing up. Are you still going to run the Milo final ?
Haha…Wrong mistake, Natz!
Bandit na nga, mali pa pinagbanditan! Na wow, mali ka!
Glad you’re back at races. See you soon!
ian, rico, luis, tamaraw -> yeah maybe I ran too fast that I realized I was banditing the wrong race. it was an hour later after I drank the enervon prime that i realized i was in the wrong race
timmy -> oo nga, nakakahilo na sa takbo.ph, daming race, daming LSDs, meron pang orienteering, wall climbing… haaay…
neil, rachel -> very funny! hahaha! naku sana wag mabasa to ni Beth, kundi patay nga ako! maling kasal??? hahaha!
Dermot -> Yup my ITBS is healing. I got some technique from Coach Salazar (BaldRunner’s coach), and I also discovered some technique on my own. I will blog it when my ITBS’s completely healed. You’re right, there’s too many races now in Metro Manila. This time they’re so close together. I guess it’s not my fault, I’m not really that dumb, I blame them. Next time Race Organizers should also consider the bandits like me
Sir Rene -> see you at the QCIM carbo-loading, pwede po bang mag bandit dun? hehehe. sasamahan ko lang po yung tatay ko
Sure, Natz! Full mary ba, dad mo?
Hahaha. joke lang yung bandit ha. yup full mary sya
like your new site ,you have alot of good friends ….hope you recover on time for milo.
Sir Rafael, Thanks!
yeah I think I’m recovering already, I have ran for 8days straight so It’s a great sign. However I doubt it if I still have the endurance to finish the whole 42K. I will try though. See you in the QCIM carbo-loading! I’m glad Sir Rene is allowing me to bandit there 
Awesome new layout Natzter, I like it!
WOhooo!
Sleek new lay-out! Galing!
Thanks bro. There are some little problems we still need to fix though.
