A few posts ago, I wondered why the TNF100 which was handled by Runrio last year, was handled by Pinoy Ultra Runners last month.
As I said before, it was an interesting scenario since major events rarely change organizers: Condura and Mizuno are with RACE, Run for Home and Greenfield, with Finishline.
Anyway, for whatever reason that [...]

A few days ago, I got curious about what the TNF100 races in other countries are like.
There are 6 countries in the TNF100 series, but as of the moment, only four are “active”: ours, Australia, China and Singapore. Japan and Thailand are in the list-of-6, but I don’t think they held the event in the [...]

I have a confession to make.
I hate being anywhere near sentimental in race reports. I actually cringe a bit at my first few full marathon race reports. I’d rather have my races be mainly about time splits, game plan executions, attack patterns and finisher rankings than anything else.
But I think I’d make an exception with [...]

The second loop is pretty much like the first loop, with the exception that the turn around is located at the Airport Hill.
My Dad and I set out from the Base Camp at around 6:30 pm. If I was slow on my way to the Base Camp from the Radar Station, I was even slower [...]

How do you even begin telling the story of a hundred kilometer race? How do you perfectly put into words a 30 hour effort, when even while in the midst of it, the details already begin blurring in your own mind? How do you preserve the emotion, desperation, and everything else that one goes through [...]

I think a couple of blogs already explained how the Championchip timing mechanism works. But I don’t ever remember reading anything on the “old-school” barcode-based system. Either it’s common knowledge, or simply nobody cares about such a “outdated” system.
Well, for those who are interested, here’s how it works.
The barcode timing system has two components, manned [...]

As many of you may know, the TNF 100 is my “race of the month” for April. A few days ago, they released the much-awaited map for this trail ultramarathon.
What really surprised me with the map was how they broke from tradition by implementing “different loops” for the 100K race. The first two editions of [...]

Nothing fancy, serious, or even really coherent in this post. Just thought of voicing out some questions that’s been running through my mind and wondering about lately.
1. Whatever happened to Run Radio?
I was really expecting they’d launch Season 2 a short time after the end of Season 1, but then so far there hasn’t [...]

Condura, obviously, is February’s main racing event.
Among the distances in the Condura Race, the full is obviously the flagship distance. What the heck, most of the runner-bloggers in my RSS folder(which just about includes the who’s who of the local running world) would be doing the full this February 7.
For March, the main event is [...]

So it’s confirmed - the TNF 100 this year would be held in Baguio.
Most readers would probably know that the TNF 100 is on the top of my “DO AGAIN” or “TO-AVENGE” list. True I would like to run the SCSM again, as a more competent runner. I would like to have a go at [...]
