Did I mention that CWC (where the starting line is) is several minutes away from Naga (where we were staying)? Well, because of this we had to wake up at 12 midnight and aim for the 2AM shuttle towards the venue. It’s the same old story of having that so-little sleep before that so-long run. …

Saturday, the second day of our “vacation.” One by one our comrades arrive in Laoag for our race that is practically hours away. After meeting a few of our newly arrived friends over breakfast, we went back to our hotel to freshen up, and start our mini tour.
