its doable... just to give you a descrption on it:

The run starts off at the top of Electricity Hill right next to the theater and the ATM machine. If you want to clock in the best time or get ahead, you push off like crazy for approximately 25-30meters then quickly get into your most aerodynamic tuck and prepare to take the on coming left hand turn.

Coming into this left turn, you begin to pick up speed, and you should now be in full tuck. The sharp left leads unto a more mellow sweeping left, and is followed by a chicane.

The chicane is a quick move to the left, then you hold a straight line for 20meters, then you take a right to exit it the turn. Be careful not to knock any of the cones (rules on this will be discussed come race day)

You then begin to approach the steeper final “S” turn picking up speed as the road progressively drops... choose the best racing line here so you scrub off the least amount of speed as you exit it with a sharp right hand turn and make a mad dash for the finish line at the pedestrian cross walk. Remember, don’t release your tuck till the line, lest you slow down and allow the guy on your tail pass you and take all the glory!

All in all this run should take 40 seconds of your life… definitely time well spent! Seize the day! Seize December 14, 2008! See you all at Meralco! This’ll be awesome!
