My first Target Race for 2014 is the Aerotropolis
SCTEX 21 km Race in Clark, Pampanga. Thought it would be a good race to start
the year... somewhere out of the city for a change. This would also be my first
time running the SCTEX. I have run the Cavitex, Slex and Skyway but never the
SCTEX. The last time I was in Clark was in 1997. So much of it has changed now.
Gone are the endless Duty Free Shopping Complexes and I have to say the place
looks pretty much abandoned already.
The course was excellent - nice rolling hills, no cars, no traffic. We runners had the road all to ourselves. Weather was chilly and sunny which made for a comfortable run but the best part about the race was the awesome view - Clark airport on one side , Mount Arayat on the other and the row of girly bars on another :-). Congratulations to the organizer, Jimboy Tayag, who did a pretty good job on this one.
I did not break any PR on this race. In fact, I was running a little slower than normal due to my nagging left foot pain again. I couldn't pick up the pace without feeling it twitch but thats ok. Give it a few weeks and I know I will be back hungry as ever and hopefully no more pain.
I made the right choice making the Aerotropolis SCTEX 21 km Race my first race for 2014. I hope the organizer will offer a marathon for next year. I'm definitely in.
