"One time lang."
These were the
words spoken by 83nean runner Ernie Badong when he decided to join the 2013
Bataan Death March 160k Ultra scheduled for January 26 -27, 2013. He made the fateful decision way back, a year
ago, when he paced Bob Castilla in the 2012 BDM 160K Ultra. After watching Bob crossed the finish line at
the Capas Death March shrine, Ernie was so inspired.

Now, we are a
couple days away from the start of the 2013 BDM and Ernie will be the sole
representative of the running men for others of the Ateneo de Naga HS Batch
1983. It would have been 2 if not for
the injury that plagued Ruben “Fards” Fajardo a month before the BDM.
But Ernie will
bravely soldier on and in this quest of his to be the second 83nean to survive
the BDM 160, he will be wearing Bib No. 83.
Truly a loyal 83nean. Never shy
to show his true colors.
Bob, Fards and
myself will be a tag team come January 25 & 26, as we provide support to
Ernie. Bob will take care of supporting
Ernie in the first 102 kms from Mariveles, Bataan to San Fernando,
Pampanga. At the Km 102 marker in San
Fernando, Bob will turn over to Fards the support duty. I then join Fards to be a pacer for Ernie.
