Just having completed the Clearwater Bay 10 Km Annual Chase in the hot and humid morning today.
The hot temperature added more difficulties in running those upslope race course. I could feel my running tee totally wet.
I still enjoyed the race pretty much.
Moreover the orange souvenir wind breaker was so nice.
Thanks Alain for the pictures taken.
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.
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 was overtaken by 2 female runners in the last km, and lacked motivation to overtake them.
I enjoyed the race anyway.
The souvenir tee was not good in design though.
Mount Butler 15 Km Race - 2007/3/25
Despite having completed a 7 Km race in 31 mins (my PB) yesterday, I still managed to complete the Mt Butler 15 K in 1 hr 23 mins+ today.
The completion time was already 6 mins+ faster than my record last year.
The high hudmidity and warm temperature added difficulties to the race.
However I still enjoyed the race pretty much.http://www.hkdrc.org

Completed the captioned race in Tai Mei Tuk in 31 mins in the morning today.
Despite it was not a fast time, but it's already my personal best in 7 Km race.
With an occasional shower, the weather today was nice for running race.
Another good race again.
Having attended the captioned race in a rainy weather at Wanchai Gap in the afternoon today.
Despite the rain and the slippery race course, I managed to completed the race in 25 mins+. This was my personal best at the same course so far already.
The souvenir was a blue back pack which was so nice in design.
Another amazing race organized by AVOHK.
Thanks Peter for the nice pictures.
Having completed the captioned Race in 1 hr 7 mins in the morning today.
The hig humidity and warm temperature making the run more difficult, and the Boa Pass was pretty slippery.
Despite the unfavourable factors, I still found the race enjoyable. Moreover I was delighted to meet with so many members from hkrunners.com today.
Just completed the half marathon in the misty morning today.
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.
I had to apology to those 10 Km joggers/walkers being pushed by me on the way.
Finally I completed the race in 1 hr 55 mins (at least 5 mins slower than I expected)
Apart form the poor arrangement of the starting time, the race was nice organizied. http://www.hkmarathon.com
Just having completed the 8 Km race at The Peak in 39 mins+ in the morning today.
The hudmidity was extremely high and the fog was very thick. My glasses kept blur along the race course and preventing me from running faster.
However I managed to take over many runners in the last 50 m uphill course.It's nice to have met so many members of hkrunners.com after the race.
Another nice race organized by HKLRRC.
Thx Thomas FAN for taking pics in such foggy weather.

I completed the captioned race in 43 mins 32 secs in the morning today which was without doubt my PB in 10 Km races.However I strongly suspect the race course's distance might be at least 500 metres shorter.The race was well organized by the Pacer Runners Club and the souvenir blur long sleeves tee was nice and comfortable.However the queue in claiming the souvenir and water was a little bit too long.Thx On Chai and JW402 for the taking of my picture.http://www.pacers.org.hk
I attended the captioned race in the morning on 2007/2/3 and completed the race in 46 mins 33 secs.The race was held at the dam of Plover Cove Reservoir. With the cool and fine weather I could manage to complete the race within 50 mins without much difficulties.A nice race held by the Correctional Services Department.http://blog.she.com/blurmax
Just having completed the captioned race in 1 hr 18 mins+ in the cold weather in the morning on 2007/1/28.
Despite the completion time was not very fast, it was already my personal best in the same route.
I completed the race in 1 hr 23 mins last year.
The race was well organized by HKAAA and sponsored by Kamachi. The souvenir tee was nice in design and was probably my first Kamachi product so far.
Completed my 2nd China Coast Half Marathon in 1 hr 53 mins+. Despite the completing time was not fast enough, it's my PB in CCM already.
I completed my 1st half marathon of CCM in 2 hrs 3 mins in 2004.
I guess I had not conducted adequate warm up and inadequate sleep (2.5 hrs) leading me to suffer from painful right bottom muscle during the longest downslope section. I was forced to slow down while other runners kept passing me.
It's a nice run anyway.
Just completed the captioned race in 47 mins + in the morning today.
The cooler temperature making the race quite enjoyable, despite the smog was still serious.
I began to feel hungry at 7 Km and sped up to the finishing point afterward.
A young runner failed to take over me in the last 10 metres before the finishing line.
A nice race organisied by Marathon Pro (compared with the chaotic Tsuen Wan New Year Run this run was more perfect).
The release of the result was so efficient. I ranked 221 among 715 finishing runners.
Just completed the Mizuno Half Marathon in Tai Mei Tuk in the morning on 2007/1/7.
The temperature was so cold that I wore long sleeves running tee with a cotton gloves.
My completion time was 1 hr 47 mins which was PB for both HM or Mizuno HM.
The race was well organized and I enjoyed it very much. Despite the big logo on the Mizuno souvenir tee is too cute.
Nice race held by HKAAA.
This race held by Tsuen Wan District Sports & Recreation Association was the most chaotic, disorganizing and "silly" races I have ever attended (already attended more than 100 races in 3 year).
- Without sending acceptance letters, the organizer asked the runners to show their HKID cards when collecting number bibs (No problem to me but probably creating problems to some runners)
- The organizer announced the names of the runners who failed to pay the entry fees. This was absolutely unnecessary coz the entry fees when number bibs being collected. Moreover it's only $20.(what the big deal?)
- The organizer asked the runners to collect the souvenirs and deposit their number bibs (without prior announcement again). All the other race organizers only mark the number bib with sign pens.
- I even found the voice of the announcement being impolite and annoying.
- Due to the anger I even forgot to press my stop watch and only knew I ranked No. 44 (in my age group or taotal?)
- The souvenir mug is so small and ugly that looked like the mug used by prisoners. I will not collect it if I know it is so ugly.
- I will never attend this race again even the race is free of charge. The race organizing by LCSD and Sai Kung District Sports Association became so good compared with this "messy" race.
- The worst thing id the organizer showed no respect to the runners. (Why bother to hold a running race then?)
I seriously recommend the organizer not to hold this race in 2008 with a view to saving the time of the volunteers and runners, and save the pulic fund too.
Just completed the 4Km Boxing Day Run in 21 mins+ in the morning today.
The fine weather & cooler temperature was perfect for running.
However there were so many youngsters jamming the race course today.
A youngster failed to over take me in the last second before the finishing line.
Nice race!
Just completed the 5 Km Southern District Beach Run in 22 mins + in the cool tenperature in the morning today.
Running on sands is more difficult than my expecting.
Once is enough for my beach run experience.
Nice race anyway.
Having completed the race in 1 hr 03 mins+ in the morning today.
The completion time was my PB in the same race again and was 2 mins faster than my time in February 2006.
The cooler temperature making the run more comfortable.
Nice race organized by AVOHK again.
