This Video Might Convince You To Join an Ultramarathon

First of all, congratulations to the ultramarathoners who completed the recent Tagaytay-to-Nasugbu 50K (T2N) last September 17, 2011.  I know someday I will join an ultra but not yet.  And if you are like me who is still undecided to join an ultramarathon then first read a book by Dean Karnazes like the book Run! or you can watch the video below and be inspired.

The North Face Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) just shows how beautiful an ultramarathon can be.  The route is scenic since it is usually done outside the busy cities.  The small number of of participants makes it a very close knit event where runners are helping one another rather than being highly competitive.  And most of all, I love the adventure.  I envy these runners at the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc who surrenders themselves to nature and allow their feet to take them where the roads will lead.
