BDO Race for Life and Alkaline Water

Earlier on, I went to the BDO Race for Life in SM Mall of Asia (MoA) in Pasay.  No, I didn't attend as a participant, although I was wearing sporting gear.  Sometimes, it's okay just to look the part.  I was there as the official alkaline water boy (AWB) or thirst quenching specialist (TQS) if you want to make it sound more glamorous.  So there I was armed with 45 5-gallon containers at 4 AM to make sure that the 1,500 runners will not go thirsty.

At around 5:30-6:00 the race began near the IMAX area in MoA.  The race was orchestrated by Alma (see our picture) who was also wonderful to work with.  She was very much in control of the event as I observed it, but I digress.  Less than 15 minutes after the race started, we started seeing the forerunners near the Globe area.  The BDO water boys (see I wasn't the only water boy) scrambled to fill up the cups.  But then, as expected according to the Bell curve, the mean runners swamped the water table and water was free flowing like an open bar. 

But just as quickly as it started, the racers finished.  So I went back to the IMAX area where the winners were soon announced.  Actually I stayed near the water table where everyone converged for drinks and pictures.  And so it ended.  Another day, another great event.  Thanks again, Alma!   Until our next thirst quenching event (TQE).
