It's Skyathon's 4th edition and my 3rd year running the event (missed one when I had a 3-month business trip). It's the same old formula - travel to Boracay, stay in a nice hotel, relax, claim the race kit, run the race, attend the post-race party, relax some more before heading back to the metro.
The best way for me to share my Skyathon experience to you is through photos, so here goes:
 |
| Nandana Boracay Hotel - where we stayed for 4 days and 3 nights |
 |
| First night and had our alcohol fix (in moderation of course) at Epic Bar. |
 |
| Carboloading at Bite Club - One Pound Burger for the win! |
 |
| Survivor Viewing Party with fellow Survivor fanatics CJ and Thirdy |
 |
| Beach Bums |
 |
| April 13 (Race Day) - with photographer Lem of Active Moments |
 |
| Julio and Julia's photo! Haha! Finally my sister was able to run in this event. |
 |
| Quartet - Ryan, Noel, CJ, Thirdy at the starting line arch |
 |
| Ran on the 10k relay with Ryan - here's an action shot from Active Moments. So difficult to run in the soft, white sand! |
 |
| With Idol Coach Mherlz - 1st place Women's 5k |
 |
| Everyone wants a photo with the star of the race Coach Mherlz! Wow abs! |
 |
| Race finishers |
 |
| Hope Mikael Daez doesn't mind. Photo with Megan Young, hehe! |
 |
| That's what I call a loot! |
 |
| Zorbing with Pinoy Exchange friends |
 |
| 90s Flavor Post-Race Party - with Jinoe of takbo.ph |
 |
| Since Epic was way too crowded for our taste, we transferred to Bom Bom Bar and drank the night away. |
 |
| Goodbye Boracay! See you again very soon! ;) |
 |
| Official race results for the relay. 5th place overall with a sub-1 finish. Not bad at all! |
Next year, Skyathon turns 5! Anticipating it to be bigger and better! I also hope they return timing chips and get rid of manual timing next time.
