Montalban Mountain Run - Leg 1 (21km)
My very first trail race, and it was such a great experience!
Since late registration yung ginawa namin, eto yung medal na nakuha namin instead of the Metal one but honestly I love this Clay medal (not sure if clay talaga pero yun kasi sabi samin) because the fact it was handcrafted, sobrang nakaka tuwa.
Okay, so for someone na recently lang nag start ng Trail Running transitioning from Road Running, honestly sobrang gandang experience ni'to sakin.
Big props kay RD Alvin Moka, sobrang ganda ng combination ng segments, a really great introduction for intermediate level type of route for beginners like me.
Naka kwentuhan ko yung mga OGs na kakilala ko sa Wawa and sabi nila yung Mt. Limilia daw is dati nang ruta pero wala kasi masyadong dumadaan na kaya tumaas ang mga talahib na at yun nga buti raw na binubuhay na ulit. Nagulat din ako sa dami ng sumali, di ko inexpect yung ganung volume ng tao sa trail which is masaya, dami ko nakaka kwentuhan along the trail.
Key takeaway ko lang din siguro dito is yung placement ng AS nila, personally tingin ko goods kung sa Parawagan summit sana yung isang AS na nasa Lagyo, para naman masarap sana kumain or mag hydrate matapos mag VK ng napaka haba haha pero nonetheless sulit na sulit pa rin. Sobrang babait ng marshals and staffs, big props Sinaunang Events.
