Finished in 19 hours 40 minutes!
We were walking at a 16-hr pace until stage 5. Two team members got injured after that but still managed to limp to the finish! (what a feat!)

Alright, the next big post is going to our Trailwalker result for 2009!!

Readers may sponsor our team at this location. Thank you!
Will probably sneak in some normal hikes (and hence photos) after the TW. Stay tuned.

Incredibly hot day. HK had experienced the hottest October on record and the start of Nov is proving to be no different.
We were on target for 23hrs until stage 3 but had to slow down because of injuries later on. We still managed to finish in 26.5hrs.

You’ll find pictures of this experience at the hiking section.
Had a fantastic Trailwalker experience. Our team completed the 100KM hike in 24hrs and 34 minutes. Of course, this would not have been the case had it not been for our fantastic support team!
Here are some videos of the start of the hike.
The start of the trail was like nothing I’ve ever seen before! There were more heads than you’d find on a Sunday evening in the Mong Kok night market! The atmosphere was buzzing with activity.
Our target was 24hrs. Three of my time members (that’s pretty much everybody except me) were experienced and had done the Trailwalker before. This was our battle plan.
It was a clear day, so the views were terrific. (Check out the pictures). During the night time, there were lights all over the trail as though the whole trail was invaded by aliens!
Needle hill was the big killer and Stage 10 was ridiculously boring.
Tips:
1) Make sure you’re wearing good footwear. My shoes were a little tight since my feet had swollen a little after 10hrs.
2) Enjoy the hike!
3) Make sure you have a good support team. We would not have completed in time had it not been for them.
4) Donate to charity!
