We beat the No. 1 team in Urbanathlon 2008

Last year, I participated in the first Men’s Health Urbanathlon here in the Philippines. It was held in Bonifacio Global City last November 18, 2007. I finished the race in 1 hr 23 mins 16 secs.

This year, the Men’s Health Urbanathlon was held in U.P. Campus last November 16, 2008. I and my friends – Allan Vistan, Verchie Totanes and Echo Santos – registered as a team. We were team T-0147.

We ran a total of 10 kilometers (3 laps)
Walked and balanced myself over a long zigzag and slippery planks
Got up and over the hurdles
Crawled under the net
Got over a series of barricades
Went over Toyota pickup trucks
Went thru a Toyota “car” maze
Got up and over the 10-foot wall and unto the finish line.

And guess what? We beat the no. 1 team (literally, T-0001). Hehe.

I lost 9 lbs. in 5 weeks.

What I didn’t know was the race is going to be filled with “urban obstacles.”

Still looking for a nutritionist who can help me plan my diet. Do you guys know anyone? Or at least any health buffs – someone who goes to the gym regularly and carefully watches what he/she eats?
