RockenRun: Hooked on Asphalt

“takami no kenbutsu”

The first time I heard that phrase was when I watched the movie “L change the world” – loosely translated, it means “observe from a vantage point”.

This would be my second time to be a part of  ultrarunner Isko Lapira’s  (aka   David Goggins of the Philippines) support crew. The only difference is that I am the only driver for the entire duration since Ian can’t make it due to an office activity.

This year’s chores weren’t as hard as last year’s, since pacers are no longer allowed- giving me enough time to catch some zs in between check points.

But that was just that, for the second year I am still watching things from a distance. I figured that since I was able to survive this January’s 50k test run plus last year’s BDM pacing experience , I might as well join the same 102km event next year (gulp!) – knowing  Isko, he will probably move up to the 145Km category … ang tibay talaga!
