Race Review: One BMS Run 2013

This run happen March 3 2012 in Luneta Park, Roxas Boulevard 5am in the morning

Please let me start on my review on the

race venue/route
I can say this is really self one for us runner coz, it one way long street line and crossing was close
Hydration
I can say this one bad, think before you can got water. You must must first pick a disposable cup in a stock to form(How hassle it is?) and ask to fill-up by one person in charge on the water station
Hydration Bottle Finish Line
I don't know was can be says on this one, since I finish the race in short of time(Not very fast but at least I finish the race in less than 28 min for 5K :)). I found that other runners getting more the one bottle of hydration than an expected one bottle per runner.
Addons Free Massage
I didnt expect this one that after a race and have massage will give must more relax, I fill like more run :)
Race result
This really gives me one BAD comment, I don't know whats the sense of the form we filled-up if the race result have lots of NO NAME and one thing more was the race result didn't reflect the race bib no. Try to see the Race Result.
