70KM Ultramarathon Coast to Coast by ProActiv
This is my comeback ultramarathon run. The last time was last year April 2022, Penitence Run 60KM from Cebu City to Sibonga by Hardcore Events.
Excited about this route since I've never done this before and I somewhat underestimated it for thinking it's easier than Transcentral Highway in Balamban but this route gives you a different kind of elevation. Not to mention the dogs in Barangay Media Once HAHA
We started the race in the progressive plaza in the City of Naga, known for its narra trees before, and also celebrated the Dagitab festival. Before the race started, it had been raining until gun start and around the first 8 km of the route.
It's been quite a challenge for me since I can feel my blister in the turning point 35KM in the Port of Toledo City. Shout out to TAD or Toledo Adik og Dagan for their hospitality which provides all the runners a very accomodating and bountiful Aid Station for all. Lechon, paklay, unli drinks, etc., made all the runners happy and satisfied.
As we go back to City of Naga the sun is up and bright which contributed to my blisters getting worst but gotta keep going since cut off time is 14 hrs and I know I prepared for it mentally, physically and spirutually. Pace got slower and slower from 9 minutes per kilometer down to 12 minutes to kilometer especially in the last 10 kilometers of this footrace.
Around final 5 kilometers, I decide to just concentrate to power walks since the pain of the blisters is unbearable and to skip rest and just keep on moving forward.
I am so happy that we made it finishing few minutes before the 14th hour of the race.
To me and my running buddy Hector who hails from Toledo City, it is still a win nonetheless since we made it before cut off. Congratulations to all strong finishers til next event :-)
Notable barangays for me that we passed by are the following:
Barangay Pangdan
Barangay Lutac
Barangay Balirong
Barangay Uling
Barangay Cantabaco
Barangay Don Andres Soriano (Lutopan)
Barangay Bunga
Barangay Media Once
Barangay Juan Climaco, Sr. (Magdugo)
Barangay Ilihan
Barangay Sangi
Barangay Daanglungsod
Barangay Poblacion
Barangay Luray
Barangay Poog
Barangay Naalad
Kudos to the organizers, all the volunteers and the marshall for such a successful event.
Cheers
