AVOHK 5 Km 2006 - Race 1

I attended the captioned at Wanchai Gap in the afternoon on 2006/9/23 (Sunday) and completed the race in about 26 mins. (ranked 11x in 194 finishers)

The race was held at Wan Chai Gap with about 1 Km uphill race course, then some trail and down hill road.

The temperature was still hot, but becoming cooler with some nice breeze.

A well organized race indeed.

Coke Run 7 Km 2006 - 2006/9/17

I have completed the captioned race in 35 mins+ in the morning today.

There were so many participants today (over 1,000 runners) making the narrow trail beside Shing Mun River very crowdy.

The race began at 0830 hrs after the sun fully expressed it's power, and the final 2 Km I really felt like panned fish on a heated wok.

Nevertheless the race was enjoyable.

Cheung Chau RTI Run 2006 - Cancelled

Cheung Chau RTI Race 2006 - Cancelled

When I was taking the ferry to Cheung Chau to attend the captioned race at 1315 hrs on 2006/9/9, the rain was really heavy with occasional thunders.

I was later contacted by a male staff of Cheung Chau Rural Committee that the race was cancelled due to the red rainstorm signal.

I arrived at Cheung Chau later and found there was no rain at all.

After a brief lunch at a HK style restaurant I had an easy walk along the race course (with red arrows).

The race course was nice despite there were many construction works undergoing which might be threats to the runners.

The trip to Cheung Chau was nice despite the disppointed cancellation of the race.

I completed the RRAC 8 Km Summer Run in 38 mins 10 secs+ in the morning today.

The race was held at the riverside of Shatin Shing Mun River which was totally flat.

The temperature was nice at 23 C and without sunshine.

I enjoyed the race very much despite I has only slept for less than 4 hours last evening.

Thaiquain Cup 10 Km Run 2006

Having completed the captioned run in 56 mins+ in the morning today.

The hot temperature and high humidity added some difficulties to the race.

I ran pretty slow at the 1st 5 Km which used nearly 31 mins to complete.

However the race was well organized despite the girl staff wrongly gave me a small size running tee after the race.

Another surprise was the appearance of special guest Maggie SHIU who looked smart & pretty today.

A nice run again.
