Fukakotamagawa Parkrun - 7th

Lots of rugby fans. Hot, legs knackered and tired but good fun. Nice course on the grass.

Beijing

No passport checks today just a mega lockdown of every road unless it was major road. Rehearsals for the 70th anniversary of the communist party apparently. Sounds about right.

Beijing

Interesting and werid place, therefore I decided to be safe and take my passport with me. Good job I did as I had to present it twice. Found a park on the map which looked interesting to run too and around. Got there to be told 'not allow' by about 10 police officers of which a few had loaded guns so did not argue. Police everywhere and the people are walking around like robots. Crazy.

Hong Kong Park Orienteering Tournament 2019 - Event 9 @ Ping Shek.

Got in touch with Kin Kwan Kwok and it turned there was a event on this weekend - perfect!

Fitness lacking after a lingering illness at the tail end of Malaysia and into Singapore. Which then kicked in again at the Gili Islands before a boat trip to Komodo. All in all, about 6 weeks without any proper running. After this on Lombok I began running again, but then we got caught up in a nasty tourist scam which accumulated in a incident with a mad bastard repping a 10 inch cocunut tree knife. All that matters is that I somehow got us out of it safely. Anyway HK, represents civilisation after ramshackeled SE Asia.

A great race which completely exceeded my expectations! A very good map, a course which offered good RC, lots of friendly and enthusiastic folks, SI Air and even a punchless finish!! A good intense start. Ater a 5 minutes I was in the red and puffing due to fitness and 35 degree humidity, by the end it was if I had been in a swimming pool. All surrounded by 45 floor resi towers. Read one control wrong, inside not outside but think I read the description above and then one control where it looked olive but was rough open so throw away a few seconds.

Good event and experience. Thanks to the orienteers of HK for their hospitality :)

Shadowing Dash around a course to WD. Going well. HUMID!!

HK - Belvedere Gardens to Ting May Bridge again, this time a little further. Sunny and humid.

HK - Belvedere Gardens to Ting May Bridge. Raining and very humid. Warm rain. But all rain is cool and I haven't felt rain for so long, so I was loving it!!!
