Back from Hong Kong Marathon

Good morning! I’m back in Manila and I’m glad to report that I survived Hong Kong: the hills, tunnel, and bridges of the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2010, the technical and comprehensive 2-day New Balance Asia Pacific Tech Summit…as well as the amusement park and shopping marathon with the kids. It was a completely exhausting but immensely satisfying and fun-filled experience that I’m excited to post about. Thing is, clients await and I must finish my work to pay for the expenses of the trip!

So, while I find time to write my full race report, I shall leave you with three videos I took during the marathon. Oh yes, I carried my cam with me (told you it wasn’t race mode for me!) and I took more than a handful of videos during the race:

RACE START
The Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon started at Nathan Road at 7:15 a.m. I stood at the start with Dra. Lora and her husband and Jinoe.

RUNNING TOWARDS TING KAU BRIDGE
Here’s one good way to injure yourself during a marathon. Get too excited over the bridge up ahead and you don’t watch where you’re going…

FINISHED!
I finished my 2nd marathon this February (and the 4th in 5 months) with an unofficial time of 4 hours 54 minutes, a time I was happy with considering how unprepared I was and how awfully difficult the course was; it was the exact time of my first unofficial marathon at QC International Marathon.

Here I was all alone after the marathon, resting my dead tired legs before heading over to the New Balance VIP tent…

  6. bwhahahaha! manang did you actually bring a camera whilst running?

    failed to check the route, did they really change it to crossing 3 bridges instead of 2 from last year? i’m excited!!! i was told by N that weather was nicer compared to a week pre-race where it fell to 16C.

  7. the bridge vid was funny =) we were the ones screaming “go TBR! less than a km to go na lang!” when you were running at causeway bay near sogo. that route was a killer huh? and to think that i only ran the half. 5 flyovers in the last 6k… whatt?!! although i’ll probably still do it again, and maybe the full next time… cheers! – kathy
