TNF Thrill of the Trail Experience, Part 4 (Final)
Finally to conclude my series on The North Face Thrill of the Trail experience, here are my opinions about the race:
TNF Thrill of the Trail Experience, Part 3
…just passing by MP1 (Marshal Point 1) I was asked nicely by the Marshal what my race number was. I think my face just light up that moment—I was, incredibly, back in the race!
TNF Thrill of the Trail Experience, Part 2
TNF Thrill of the Trail was held January 19, 2009 within the premises of Evercrest Golf Resort in KM 72, Batulao, Nasugbu, Batangas. It’s basically a loop around some very good and challenging trails, with the 20K having two laps of the approximately 10K loop.
TNF Thrill of the Trail Experience, Part 1
It was truly an amazing race! I just returned home from one of the best races I’ve ever had! I have so many stories to share so please bear with me until I’ve compiled the pictures and completed writing about it. I’ll share it here even if it takes on an installment basis. 🙂
Race Update 03: TNF Thrill of the Trail
I just got my race kit for this race last night from R.O.X. It includes a race bib, a singlet, and a course map with some race information…
Race Update: The North Face Thrill of the Trail
The first trail running event of the year is almost here, and since it’s not like most urban races here are some pointers about this race that may help first time trail runners like myself: Footwear: wear the right shoes for the right occasion. Trail running shoes are different from your normal running shoes so…
Running in the Sky (Way)
Something to look forward to running next year: the Condura run on March 22, 2009. RunningShield has announced plans for this race and the 21K route will pass through the South Luzon Skyway. This may be our only chance to run on the Skyway and it definitely makes the route very interesting and exciting. From…
PhotoVendo Moment
Each race is unique and memorable and capturing those moments are made easier by PhotoVendo, the brainchild of Ben M. Chan (photographer on the run). You can’t always bring someone along to take your photos and not everyone has an SLR camera, and it’s definitely difficult to bring a camera along in-race and take photos…
UP ICTUS Run and the Takbo.ph Peeps
The weekend wasn’t that good if I talk about my knee, but otherwise it was great! I was able to complete my goal for the year of reaching the 100K mark (yay!), and I get to meet the guys at takbo.ph. Meet my new friend: anti-inflammatory painkillersBefore the race started walking was something I didn’t…
100K Here I Come!
Believe it or not, I only started running, in races of course, last August, and roughly four (4) months since I started, my first 100K (race-only cumulative distance) is almost here. Before December I had set a goal of reaching my first 100K this year but back then it was mathematically impossible because of the…
One Great Weekend
This weekend had been a great one. Two races, two PRs, two finisher’s shirt, and Manny Pacquiao won! (Woohoo! And Manny did it via TKO!) My first race of the weekend, Nokia Recycle You Phone and Run, allowed me to set a new PR for 5K (the longest distance of the fun run) and was…
