frontRUNNER ‘The Valley Trail Challenge'


Joined this race on a sudden whim that I wanted LSD of 42K coz I was so "bitin" with my runs recently at gym, and I need a trail run for me to test the trail running in preparation for CDO-Dahilayan 55K Trail Ultra Marathon (http://www.pinasbackpackers.com/2011/06/cdo-dahilayan-55k-trail-ultra-marathon.html) this coming July 9
. Got my race kit c/o Doc Art (thanks so much Doc! ^-^) on last minute for 50K (but the actual mileage was 57K to be counted as a finisher), but only run for around 44 or 45K I think and DNF because of serious lack of sleep and insufficient training, and the most dreaded/hated part is the weather, because it was super hot due to impending rainfall on late afternoon! But if it was not for my being unprepared for the weather and insufficient training and serious lack of sleep, I would say that I love this route, because I so hiking/mountaineering...


I want to extend my thanks to achi Myla, doc Art, my dear sis, Rod, ahia Francis, and team Boring's support. :) So nice to see takbo people again! ^-^
