Last December 2012, I finished my first road ultramarathon – Tagaytay 2 Nasugbu 50km run, together with Melvin Pangan. After that, I eagerly waited for my next ultramarathon.
This year, The North Face 100 ultra series opened up their registration. My wife Arzen and I signed up for it. Bold enough (madness as you call it), I filled up the registration form and joined the 50km category, while Arzen registered for 11km, since this will be her first official run race after giving birth.
As a mountaineer, climbing, hiking and running on rugged terrains were a familiar thing to us, so we kind of have a substantial confidence level in joining this race.
