I thinks, if im right, im still yet to blog yet to share my experience in TNF PH 100KM ultra trail  this April 2013. 

I wish i able to come back in 2014, but the date, as im not able to get permission to leave my job in early of the month. I have to let go my favourite ultra race!

TNF 100 @ Baguio, Philippines 2013

Ultra running. When i'm completed HK100 early this year in February, I told myself that it's enough. Enough of ultra running training and Ultra races. To-dated, I joint three (3) 100KM Ultra races within 8 months.

Within the 8 months, i know, there's something not right about me into 3 Ultra races. I never tell anyone, but tweeted it.

HK100 is my first and last Ultra race and only ultra race in 2012. I need to cool down and re-position myself in ultra running. The only way is stop running and venture into cycling while continue search for right mojo to back to ultra running in 2013.

Now is already September, 4 months to go to end of 2012 and start of 2013. Somehow, i managed to get to know TNF 100 @ Baguio, Philippines.

Going to re-learn my nutrition. my diet habit. I know my previous ultra training was kind of "kamikaze" type. Gotta enhance myself. 

End. 

2011 The North Face 100 - TNF100

Last few days saw this 2011 The North Face 100 poster on my facebook feed. 

Im always heard my running friend mentioning about this TNF100 but im not really know any details about it. 

TNF is another kind of running mind game which totally different from what's im doing now in running a road race marathon. 

TNF is a trail running and its not easy to run in trail where you go hike up hills and run on muddy road. 

The rules and regulations always become straighter and a lots of rules have to follow. The cut of time for 100km duo is 9 hours ( Time for 1 runner to run 50km). 

My normal 42km marathon timing is around 5 hours to 6 hours, but 9 hours for 50km.. This is so challenging !

The TNF for 2011 in Singapore falls on 15 Oct 2011. Registration open on coming 16 May 2011. 

This is interesting. hmmm...
