Hell yeah. But of course, with training. So what's up next for The Changeling Child? (I really want to gag whenever I address myself as TCC) An open water SD? Half-Ironman? Full marathon? Another... A mountain trek? A return to dragonboat paddling (hence a possible regatta)? A return to wall climbing? I don't know, really. It's not in my nature to make plans. Bring it on, fuckers. Bring it on
...way, thank you, too, for NOT singing. I think I would've died if you did. ;) Now, on to the REAL finish line -- the Kythe project! :) … Wait wait wait. Who the fuck am I kidding? I did not do an ultramarathon. I did a 10k trail run and a 30somethingk walk and crawl. Therefore, Neville, you may revoke my Pinoy Ultra Runners membership until I really RUN more than WALK and CRAWL. Ahahahahahahahaha...
It felt like a lifetime of climbing, of balancing on tightropes, but Jeremy suddenly stopped and said “Beyond these steps… lies the crater. Go ahead, have the first view.” I took the last few steps up...on time and not being obstinate enough. But then again, I had no training, I did not do anything to prepare for this, will just probably charge this to experience. Sumabit naman eh, 43.38. Hehe
...a cigarette. I was like, WTF???? He said, don't worry, we'll just walk this. Siyempre ako rin nainggit, so we trekked the sands with cigarettes in hand. Hehe. I cannot believe we were doing this on an ultramarathon. (Hence our craziness) But then again, getting me to participate here was already an impossible feat in itself. And on a mountain pa ha. We trudgedalong a shitload of river crossings...
...pain at the back of my knees are rendering me almost immobile. But there's no better time to write it than now, because the freshness of the painspells greater clarity for my recollection of my first ultramarathon. It all started when Jeremy asked me, seemingly out of the blue, if I was interested in doing an ultramarathon. I was interested, as it was part of my to-do list, but I wasn't sure if...
