The North Face Ultra Challenge - Strava 50k

I've had my eye on different Strava challenges. Most of them are a week long or over a weekend. My weekends are always super busy with work, meetings, and church. Plus I have a wife that I like to spend time with. The North Face Challenge seemed more up my alley because it wasn't 50k in one run, but over a weekend. See the Strava link here to check it out.

I took a ton of photos using my Samsung Galaxy S3 and an arm case. We had rain for five or six days which mad for really humid conditions. It was a tough weekend, but totally worth it.

I finished the 50k in 6 runs:

Saturday
Run 1: 21.8km to the very last train station before work.
Run 2: 1.1km to work from the train station.
Run 3: 9.8km after work back to the far train station.
Run 4: 1.8km to the flower shop to pick up a few roses for the mrs. Her choir was performing.

Sunday
Run 5: 10.3km Sunday morning with Kendall.
Run 6: 6.4km Sunday night after church.
Total: 51km!

Right out of the door. 

The temple two minutes from my house. 

It wouldn't be Saturday morning without a little Taichi!

It looked like it was going to be a nice day.

I decided to run parallel with the train tracks. It's flat and usually not too many lights.

This was as I was passing Taichung Train Station. Who knew it would be raining 15 minutes later? 

 Just a big god sitting on some houses. 

A quick Gu and some Supao. Gupao?

雙子新大樓 The church used to be on the 34th floor on the right.

Scooters. This is at one of the smaller train stations too. 

I don't know why, but this lady passed me and cut me off. Not cool. I even had time to take out my phone to snap a few photos. When she saw I had a camera, she took off. 

Here are some of my battle scars.
