Training for the Oxfam Trailwalker

I’m training for the Oxfam Trailwalker race, a 100km race through the New Territories of Hong Kong. That’s about the distance of two marathons. Our target time is about 22 hours. The fun thing about technology and social media today is that I can show you graphs, charts and fancy numbers related to our training this weekend. To plow through all the data, basically we did a 25km trail in 7 hours on probably the hottest and most humid day of the summer in Hong Kong. I was a different person after taking a dip in a cool mountain stream. It’s amazing how much energy the sun takes out of you.
