Shek Kong Pre-Marathon 10 K Race - 2007/12/30

Just completed the 10 K race in 51 mins+ in the cooler temperature this morning.

I really felt like training run despite the final 100 m to overtake a young lady runner in front of me. Really enjoyed the race.

I had a brief chat with the organizer LEE Ho Tung who mentioned he wished to quit from organizing races in the future. My instant response was like Simpson "Don't" cause I really appreciated the professionalism of the races organized by Marathon Pro and Mr LEE.

I asked Mr LEE to re-consider his decision because the consequence will be serious.

TPSA 10 Km Race 2007 - 2007/12/23

Just having completed the race in 48 mins+ in the wet and cooler temp in the morning today.
I've not completed any 10 K races in 50 mins for a while already.
The organizing of the race improved so much, but the abuse of plastic bags remained.
The cake given after the race was so delicious and I consumed it all.
The walk from Tai Po Station to the starting point was much longer than I expected. It took me almost 25 mins to walk in the rain.

Nice race anyway.

Kadoorie Brothers Memorial Run 07 - 07/12/16

Just completed my 1st KFBG 5.3 Km Run 2007 ( 二零零七年第十三屆嘉道理兄弟紀念跑 ) in 45 mins and ranked 89 among 220 finishing runners on 2007/12/16 (Sunday).

The route was really horrible steep, and I could not resist the temptation of walking uphill most of the time.

I felt good in overtaken 3 runners in the last 10 m uphill route (nearly 45 degrees).

Moreover since I walked too often, this race became a fast walk to me indeed.

Nice race and good organizing.
Probably will join the event next year too.

IMMD 7Km Invitation Race 2007 - 2007/12/15

Just completed an inter-departmental 7 Km race in 33 mins+ earlier today.

A nice race again (I doubt whether the distance is 7 Km enough though)

AVOHK Reservoir Race II (Tai Lam Chung) Race II - 07/12/9

Just completed the captioned race in 1 hr 28 mins+ in the morning on 2007/12/9.
Despite I am a slow runner, it's still a slow completion time to me.

I found myself struggling to recover from the tireness produced by the two half marathon one or two week(s) ago.

It's my PW in the same race since 2004.
I felt my legs pretty heavy after about 10 K and had to walk most of the upward steps.
It's my PB of this race and was 6 mins slower than last year.
Still enjoyed the race anyway.

UNICEF Half Marathon 2007 - 2007/12/2

Having completed the captioned race in 1 hr 52 mins+ in the sunny morning today. This is my first time attening a race in Lantau Island. The route is nice and the organizing is very good too. Hope the SCM's organizer will learn something from them.

I was pretty lucky today. I sat next to a pretty CX air hostess when travelling by MTR to Sunny Bay, and had a nice chat with a uniformed SSgt when returning home by MTR. I really admired the officer who had completed full marathon in Boston Marathon already.

I really enjoy the race today. This is the first race of my seven races in December.

Seiko Hong Kong Runner Half Marathon 2007 - 07/11/25

I was chased by a veteran woman runner all the way. Luckily I maneld by Managed to lead her 10 m before the finishing line.

I felt pretty tire after 16 Km which might be caused by insufficient training mileages.

Another nice race held by Marathon Pro.

Nike 10 K Challenge 2007 - 07/11/11

Completed the 10 K race in a leisure pace of 50 mins. I really enjoyd the run and almost seems like a training run to me.

I am happy to run along with another hkrunners member LAM Wah who just completed Trail Walker in 19 hrs+ yesterday. What a superman! I could barely walk after completing the TW in 30 hrs+ in 1995 for a few days. It's also my pleasure to cross the finishing line with LAM. Probably will not have another chance again becuase LAM is simply too fast to me.

Another nice run again!

HKDRC Half Marathon 2007 - 07/11/4

Completed the race in 1 hr 55 mins which was quite slow in such cool weather.

I hit the wall at 18 Km and had to walk for a short distance.

The suffering was caused by several adverse factors :

- Lack of sleep (0nly had a 3.5 hrs sleep) and felt to deep sleep before the coach entered the Cross Harbour Tunnel

- Lack of mileages (only trained for 8 - 10 Km run for months)

- Lack of war up (Coach arrived at Tai Mei Tuk at 0700 hrs)

Still enjoyed the run even the suffering becoming some sort sweet.

I was so happy to find my younger brother and friends greeting me at the finishing point.

AVOHK 5 Km Race III - Bowen Road (2007/10/13)

Just completed the captioned race in the cool and windly afternoon in 24 mins+ today.

The cooler weather and the frequent breeze was absolutlely a bonus to the race. However there were so many walkers with their dogs along the race course which posted inconvenience and dangers to the runners.

I was almost overtaken by a veteran lady runner at 4 Km. After a "SH" word I sped up further and got loose of her at the final Km.

Nice race again.

However I agreed with another keen runner Oldster that the race course was at least 300 metres longer.

Ulfenbo Quarter Marathon 2007 - 2007/10/7

Just completed the captioned race in a slow time of 56 mins in the extremely hot and sunny weather in the morning today.
It's nearly 3 minutes slower than my previous record last year.
Lacking of running exercise last week (not a single run since the 8 Km race on last Sunday) also paid the price.
I was nearly exhausted and closed to heat stroke at 7 Km and had to slow down a lot to prevent from over heated.
Truely a tough race to me.

Tsuen Wan National Day 8 Km Running Race 2007 - 2007/9/30

Just completed the 8 Km running race in 42 mins+ in the sunny and extremely hot weather in the morning today.

TVB was the irst to blame or depriving me from enough sleeping after watching Death Note and the table tennis games played by my beloved female players.

Lacking sleeping not just worsen my performance, it also made me hot tempered. I apologized to those runners being scored by me with dirty words before and during the race.

I had to push my speed to the limit in the last 10 metres to prevent another runner overtaking me. So relieving.

Nice race anyway

Just completed the captioned race in a hot morning in 53 mins+ on 2007/9/19 (Sunday).

It was a slow time because of my lacking of training (only a 6 Km run on last Friday evening in last week).

The organizer did a well organized race and e-mailed me the result so quick.

SDH X-Country Run 2007 - 2007/8/12

Just completed the Southern District Harrier X-Country Run in heavy rain on muddy and slippery trail in Aberdeen in the morning today.

The rain really poured cats and dogs during the race and the trail was muddy and slippery. The short upward extremely muddy and slippery trail really became a torture to me.

Lacking of training (only a 7km light run in 21 days) also proved to be a curse to me too.

I had to complete the 8 Km run in 48 mins at last.

Having completed the 10 Km Running race in the extreme hot and sunny weather in the morning today.

The first few kms running was nice because the lane was closed for runners.

The collection of chips was chaotic as expected.

However the race was still nice organized by the infamous DAB organizer.

Thanks slowrunner for taking those nice pictures in EDSA 10 K Run.

Seven sins of the re-unification mid night run 2007 - 07/6/30

It was probably the most chaotic running event I had ever attended. The organizer did not know what should be done or what should not be done at all.

At least seven "sins" could be located :

- The preparation of the race was most chaotic especially the despatch of bib numbers and tee shirts (later learnt the bib number is useless cause no one noticed it at all)

- Using of a lot of plastic bags before and after the race

- Too much food, drinks and partying before the race

- Too much souvenirs after the event

- should be called fun run instead of running race

- claiming of luggages was absolutely a nightmare

I will not join any running events held by the same organizer (TPSA) in the future.

P.S. Nice to meet EW, George and Bernard before the race.

Olympic Day Run 2007 - 2007/6/24

Having joined the Olympic Day Run in the morning today.

Southern District Beach Run cum Aquathon - 07/5/13

Just completed the 4 Km beach run in Repulse Bay in 16 mins+ in the morning today.

I believe the distance was not 4 Km enough, because I could manage to complete the 800 m beach run in 6 mins+.

Despite from the sightly hot temperature, the race was nice and well organized. However the pink souvenir tee was ................

1st Shatin 9 Km X-Country + Road Race 2007

Just completed the 1st Shatin Cross Country + Road Race in the morning today.

I could only manage to complete the race in a pretty slow time of 57 mins+. Wearing the wrong road running shoes which were incapable to handle the slippery down hill slopes.

I sped up my paces when turning into the flat field path. However I lost my control once and punched directly into the field. Luckily the field was covered with long grass and without water, rocks and mud. I climbed up to the path and continued the run again.

Very difficult race to me.

Congratulation to LAI Kat who completed the race in an amazingly fast time of 38 mins+.

A nice race still.

Pacer 10 K Easter Run 2007 - 2007/4/15

I completed the race in 48 mins in the warm and humid temperature in the morning today.

The race was well organized but the running route was quite confusing.

Since the gal runners started 15 mins later than us male runners, there was not a single lady runner to chase. This is so boring lah.

A nice race anyway.



P.S. Only had 2.5 hrs sleep making me felt sleepy during the first 3 Kms.

The 1st Tolo Harbour 10 Km Race - 2007/4/1

Just having completed the captioned race in 49 mins 0x secs in the morning today.

Unfortunately there was no rain, and the appearance of the sun slowed me down a lot in the final 2 Kms.

I enjoyed the race anyway.

The souvenir tee was not good in design though.

I was caught in the course congestion in the first 4 Km and had to spent 25 mins (which was my slowest time).

After the 5 Km I sped up and had a nice run afterwards. However the race course become extremely congested after we half marahon runners ran into those slowly walking 10 Km runners in the Western Tunnel.

Apart form the poor arrangement of the starting time, the race was nice organizied.

I completed my 1st half marathon of CCM in 2 hrs 3 mins in 2004.

It's a nice run anyway.
