A few hours ago @dalatultratrail race began in highland Vietnam. A DNS (Did Not Start) for me sadly. I was excited to race in the first 100km organised this year and very much looking forward to returning after two years in the row running the 70km in stunning pines land.
.
But the border is still shut and just yesterday breathing into Phase 2 (ticked off 74 days of lockdown/isolation). The first weekend of dining out and meet up with human friends.
.
FYI Vietnam has done so well in controlling this pandemic despite the 97m population and its border with China. I heard this on @bbcworldservice more than a month ago. Wishing the organiser and runners a safe and successful event.
.
On that note, we don’t need a second wave. So please be vigilant wherever you are!! Safe distancing, elbow, wave, and namaste only.😷
.
P.S. More on stories or check out the blog posts on 2018 & 2019 races.

Throwback to my last night in Sahary camp for @ecotrail_alula 83km.
P.S.Miss hotel stay, also that long night of grueling ultra run. Who else? .

Gratitude, Thankful, Appreciation
.
Part of gratitude is to realise that we will always be completely unable to give thanks.
And that unconditional gratitude is superior to conditional grateful.
Never miss the chance to be grateful whatever may come, or not come, in whatever kind of situation. For grateful is a state of the soul for a sound heart. .

Car stop at a traffic intersection in Barsha (right behind MOE). On the way to meet a friend in the neighborhood, winter trip 2018. Windscreen down and quickly snapped this as I recalled seeing the mud red architecture in daylight posted by @mycustardpie a few years back. .
Of the four trips being canceled this year (how international travel is a thing in the past in just a short time frame, who would have ever thought!!) UAE trip was the most preciously missed. Otherwise, it would’ve been my 11th consecutive Ramadan there. Till we meet again after all this saga easing hopefully - though admitted it’s kind of nice to stay put. Good for the earth, not so for the 16k grounded jets.
Hope you are keeping well and positive. Virtual 🤗 .

Last weekend of @winterattantora till the site reopen this coming October. Reminiscing UNESCO ancient city of Hegra or Mada’in Saleh (occupied by the same civilisation that built Petra in Jordan till Roman came to the Arabian Peninsula) I visited last month. This particular place is called Girls’ Mountain (Jabal Al Banat). There are 31 rock-cut tombs and most of them belong to girls/ladies. The status of those buried is reflected on the the size and level of decoration of the tombs.
🏵
Check out the symbols carved on the facades such as eagles, sphinxes, snakes, rosettes, urns. Make sure you view the last video #soundson .
🏵
There’s so much to explore here in Al Ula other than the tombs and the effort to do it is always worth it! I have more photos of this Nabataean ancient place to come. Have you ever thought of visiting Saudi Arabia?
🏵
Happy International Women’s Day! Special mention to wonderful women I met in the kingdom @Haiyan_mojo @fattouz @renye.art @myadbenatures @cymaazyz #womeninsaudi 🏵

Around the resort, there were stunning sites to explore and wander around. I heard other runners stayed at farmhouses which sounded amazing - imagine waking up in surrounding of dates plantation and orange grove the fertile land is blessed with!
.
At Sahary camp (where @ecotrail_alula race briefing and finish line took place), luckily I didn’t have to go far to appreciate Al Ula’s splendid nature. The blue sky no weather forecast needed, the yellow sand I gathered in my running shoes and the red rocks with every interesting shape were part of the natural decoration. The red tent wasn't too odd after a few nights I curled under a blanket in the chilly nights - loving the Hejaz art motives interior wall.
.
Snap gazillion pictures, managed to pick a few...slide to see! Which one is your favourite?
.
Thanks for showing the hiking route @clint2408. Peek through the bird's eye view of Al Ula at his account 🚁 .
.
Despite a bit secluded from the town (hooray for serenity), buses provided from here to Winter Park and Elephant Rock if you opt for @winterattantora activities.
