Sex in Ultra Marathon?: My First 80km Mayon360 Run

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.
