The North Face 100 Update
I texted Neville Manaois of Pinoy Ultra Runners last night wishing him a great run for tomorrow’s TNF (which I am still moping over since I forbade myself from joining due to the risk of re-injury). He replied from Batangas with this SMS:
“Raining hard here. River rising daw. Winds picking up. And temperature dropping. This will be fun.”
Followed an hour or so after with this update:
“River is rising really fast. Really cold. Good luck to us. hehe.”
Neville added that there are 90 runners joining the 100km (that’s a lot eh?), 100+ for 21km, and 210 for 10km. It sure sounds like these 400+ runners are going to have the time of their lives tomorrow. Good luck to you if you’re running at TNF…especially my friends Annie, Coach Jo-Ar, Taki, and highschool buddies Bau and Tin. (Who else is joining?) Stay safe!
As for me, I’ll be at light, easy and wholesome Robinsons Wellness Buddy run with the hubby with thoughts of TNF on my mind.
