A nice and enjoyable race still.

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+.

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.

Clearwater Bay 10 K Annual Chase 2007 - 2007/4/22


Just having completed the Clearwater Bay 10 Km Annual Chase in the hot and humid morning today.

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 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.

Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2007 - 2007/3/4


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.

Another nice race organized by HKLRRC.

Despite the completion time was not very fast, it was already my personal best in the same route.

China Coast Half Marathon 2007 - 07/1/21


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.

Perskindol Shatin 10 Km 2007 - 07/1/14


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.

Mizuno Hong Kong Half Marathon 2007 - 2007/1/7

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.
