Also, it will only be produced upon special request of the participant. Each tri-suit will be personalized. Price is available upon request.
There are actually a lot of other things the participants will appreciate. Included in their registration fee would be the usual race number, map, mechanics.

A Tale of Shoes
.
As I tried cleaning my room today (tried being the operative word, haha!) I realized that my running shoes have invaded my closet space and displaced all my other footwear. As I was counting, I have 2 AISICS, 1 Adidas, 1 Fila, and 4 Nikes. Who has 8 shoes? Well… other than Patrick Concepcion who buys a new pair every month I think, and my brod who wears out his running shoes so quickly that they only have a life span of 2 months, max.
.
Looking back, I also realize that my shoes and I have a lot of stories to tell. I remember which pair I was wearing on a particular day, race or event and there is a memory that I can usually recall. From my arsenal of shoes, there is a pair that I bought the night before an international marathon since I left my shoes at home. What was worse was that I was more than in a different region all together. What a thing to forget! There was also a pair that went through hell and back. It braved the the first 10kms of the TNF100 trail of Nasugbu, Batangas. There is also a pair that got to be in a photoshoot for… Sorry, I can’t disclose yet.

There is one shoe though that is not included in the picture since it is now in its new home.

Stay tuned to the series of stories behind each shoe.
