Blogger’s Note:
This article by Noel “Ghibz” Guevara is part
of the series that the Bicolano Penguin is doing on the recently-concluded 2014
Mayon 360 Ultra. Our years of experience
participating in this most famous of Bicol ultras have shown to us that indeed
the ultra way of life is full of color and challenges. Who better to write a story about it than
Ghibz who is one of the more
engaging and eloquent classmates in the
Ateneo de Naga HS Batch 1983. He had a
“shortness of breath” (SOB) experience after his gallant finish last April 5
but the way he handled the challenge that is the Mayon 360 showed to us all
that the SOB decidedly stood for “story
of bravery.
Now, I got your attention.
Our friend, HS batchmate
and ultra-marathon ‘maestro’ Vicboy
de Lima requested me to share my insights of my first ultra-marathon experience
in the just concluded Mayon 360 80km Run in Legazpi City, Albay last Saturday, April 5, 2014 .
