Tolo Harbour 10 Km Race 2008 - 08/3/30


Just completed the 10 Km race in the hot and humid weather in a pretty slow time of 54 mins.

Moreover I woke up at 0300 hrs to watch the Netherland soccer making me very sleepy during the race. I fail to speed up even for the 1st Km.

I still manage to overtake a gal runner in the final 100 metres anyway.

It's nice to meet so many friends today including Bhoova and his friend, CHIN, Oldster, Sai Leung, Alex and others. Another nice race held by Marathon Pro.

Mount Butler 15 Km Cross Country Race 2008 - 08/3/23


Just completed the 15 Km hilly race course ( Mount Butler 15 Km Cross Country Race) in the warmer morning in a slow time of 1 hr 28 mins+.

I really felt powerless today and had to walk twice in the course. I finally manage to cross the finishing line with exhausted body.

Another nice race held by HKDRC again.

I really appreciated the hard working and good manner of the volunteers who offered their great effort to the race.

It's nice to meet some SSHH members and hkrunners.com's members.

Clearwater Bay Annual Chase 2008 (10 Km) - 08/3/16


Just having completed the hilly race Clearwater Bay Annual Chase 2008 ( 清水灣長跑賽 ) in a slow time of 55 mins (4 mins+ slower than last year).

However I really enjoyed the race in such leisure paces and meeting so many SSHH and hkrunners.com's members.

The race was well organized with many water stations and souvenirs.

Thanks Alain & Susan for taking my pics and giving me a drive after the race.

Another good race held by CWB Golf Club.

Perskindol Shatin Riverside 10 Km - 2008/3/9


Just completed the Perskindol Shatin Riverside 10 Km Race ( 普施健沙田10K ) in the warm weather in 50 mins+ in the morning along Shing Mun River in the morning on 2008/3/9.

Due to lack of training, I was already happy to complete the race in 5 mins per Km.

Moreover wearing a Mizuno black long sleeves running tee really pushed my ability of resisting heat to the limit. Nice to see Snail, Sarah and many SSHH and hkrunners in the race.

Another well organized race held by Marathon Pro again.

AVOHK Reservoir Cup Race III - 2008/3/2


AVOHK Reservoir Cup Race III (11 Km) - 2008/3/2

Just having completed the 11 Km hilly race in a quite disapponted and slow time of 74 mins in the warm morning in Tai Tam Reservoir.

To conclude my poor performance, I had the analyse below :

i) Lack of training - Apart from attending races, I had four weeks of zero training already.

ii) Wrong choice of clothing and shoes - I wore too much clothes today (long sleeves running tee plus vest topping) almost boiled me up after the long upward slope. My NB running shoes was proved not suitable in trail running in the stoney Boa Pass, which really hurted.

iii) Inadequate sleep - 4 hours sleeping was again proved not enough to me before race Despite the disappointed time, I really enjoyed the race. Another good race held by AVOHK.

It's good to meet so many hkrunner's members and having group pics after the race (including our greatest Keith, Kitty, CHIN, Bernard, LAM Wah....................)
