Having completed the Giga Sport X-Country 10 K Run 2010 in the extremely sunny and hot morning on 2010/10/3.

The race route was on the site of the Disneyland Hong Kong at Penny Bay. Therefore the track was covered with grass, debris, mud and stones. Running on such trail was like having foot massage.

Just completed the Coke Run 7.5 K 2010 ( 可口可樂 健跑樂 7 K 2010 ) at Shing Mun Riverside in a moderate slow time 36:41 mins (sub 5 mins / K).

Due to the tighten police control on the race, runners were restricted to run on the narrow pedestrian path which making many "traffic jams". I guess the whole path including the bicycle path should be restricted for racers in the race period being more rational.

Nice to meet so many runners friends in the race^.^

Completed the Mt Butler 15 Km Race 2010 ( 第34屆香港 畢拉山 15公里 古蹟越野賽 ) in a slow time of 1 hr 31 mins. Despite the completion time was slow, I felt pretty satisfied with the result already.

However the best part was after the race. I suddenly found out my arm pocket disappeared. I then quickly had a fast pace return trip to look for it. After 2.5 Km return trip, I realized I probably did not wear my arm pocket from the beginning.

Fearing the organizer would have disbanded, I had to rushed another 2.5 Km back to the baggage storage area. I found my arm pocket was kept in my bag safely.

This 5 Km rush really "killed" me^.^ Unfortunately there was no "most absent minded runner". Otherwise I would have no competitors at all^.^
