I wrote this post a few weeks ago but did not get to post it then. So here it is still, with some delay...
---------------
The frequency of our posts is still very limited. Why? Well, we haven't left yet, and lots of interesting things are going on back home - but this blog was going to be about our cycling trip... But last week, we did something that is probably worth talking about: The Most Beautiful Thing, or TMBT, a beautiful but tough ultra trail marathon in Borneo near Mount Kinabalu. This is probably not what you expected when you saw the subject of this post, right?
Ellen went for a 30k run (technically, not ultra but still tough), I did 50k this time. Let's say it's a good way to get in shape, although it was not on a saddle...
Let the pictures do the talking!

| First hour on the road before heading for the trails - with the mighty Kinabalu again |

| Yes, right. Mount Kinabalu covered in morning mist |

| Happy finisher after 10,5 hours |
