Pre-Race
This race served as a way to test our target pace for Run United 2 (RU2). The target for RU2 was 2:30 so that blogger buddy and pacer, CJ, can attain a PR for 21k. Unfortunately, we were winging it and hadn't trained properly to attain this pace.
Race Proper
I met CJ at the starting line since I was late for the assembly line. I found fellow Titan, Mark, and Ayala Triads, Moy. Gun started was earlier than expected. It was 30 seconds earlier based on my watch but it was okay since I wasn't late for the gun start.

We really didn't have a plan on how to push for 7:00 min/km so as we ran as as we can. At the first kilometer, we did a pace at 5:50 mins/km. We were able to maintain a less than 7 mins/km for the first 4k but we slowed down and walked a little from 5km onwards. The scorching heat slowed us even further. We initially did 4-1 galloway but went even slower due to the heat. The road wasn't closed for the race so it was also annoying to find cars fighting off your position in the race.
