Took preparation to the max for this one. 70KM is no joke. Took Vaseline, Pokari, nuts, fruits, gels, etc, etc. Stages 1,2,3,4 were not a problem (these are the hardest stages – Sunset, Lantau, Ngong Ping, etc).

Stage 5 was Man Cheung Po. Sun was probably at 33-35 degrees. Got hammered by the sun again during stage 5. Couldn’t keep up with my teammates (who are superhuman). After some wrong turns (in spite of carrying a printout of the markers!!) I found myself walking alone on a boring concrete trail to Tai O. Waited for another teammate but he was nowhere to be seen. So, decided to dropout (yet again!) and took a bus from Tai O to Tung Chung. Slept like a dog on the bus. Didn’t even know when we reached Tung Chung! As prepared as I was, this heat is just not for me!

Probably did about 25KM. Some hardcore 25KM though. This is no joke especially in this temperature.
