A couple of exciting trail running competitions are coming up!

The first one is the Ultimate Trail of The South at Kota Tinggi, Malaysia, in September, for which I’m training for the 35km category. 

The elevation gain will be 1610 meters, with the most significant gains of around 500-600m just after the first checkpoint at 3km and at around 27km before the fifth checkpoint. I just got a pair of new Salomon S/Lab Ultra 3 shoes and will need to drive them in before the race.
