Meet Torti the Tortoise!!! I was so thrilled when Pia told me that Torti goes around the house like a pet dog. When we were visiting her, she asked us if we bumped into Torti in the house…so she looked for him and found him somewhere in the den. Pia said he is such a good pet because he is toilet trained!
Torti has a beautiful shell and Pia showed us that even his stomach is a work of art and is beautiful as well!

A Race to Save the Reef – Condura Race for Tubbataha Feb. 16, 2008
The race kit
This time, I wanted to cover the event differently, instead of waiting in the finish line, I wanted to be on the skyway and take photos of the 21k and 42k runners. I woke up at 2:30 am to get to the Fort to look for Ton to find out how to get to the skyway
Ton was not in sight so by 3:30am I just decided to go to the skyway myself and just try my luck. Ton told me that I needed to be in the skyway by 4am
I got to the skyway
and this guy, Paul, approached me when my car dropped me at the toll booth. My car could not enter so it was just me
He was kind enough and got approval to let me join them and stay with them…
Sometimes we take for granted the people who do all the preparation and hard work in planning for the race..Thanks to the Condura team for all your work!
so from around 4 am to 5am we were just waiting for the runners to come
We got so excited when we saw some runners approaching already! This was our first sighting
It had been an hour since the start for the 42k runners
The first runners to pass and leading the pack
Paul told me that this guy is the oldest runner in the race- If I remember correctly he said 83 years old!!! WOW!!!! and he was one of the first runners in the lead and he was doing the 42k!!!!!!
Starting to get some light and more runners on the skyway….
Jim, for some reason, I can never get a shot of you- you run too fast!! 🙂
More light…..
And finally I see Ton on a motorcycle! He had come from the end of the track and on his way back already
Of course I could not miss Tessa coming! And she has many poses. She is the only one that stopped and posed for me many times so she has plenty photos 🙂
By around 6:30 am, I had to leave the skyway to catch my husband and son who should be in the finish line
