Boxing Day Run, The Peak, Hongkong

On the 26., Jay and I ran the Boxing Day Run in HK. It is only 4k, mostly uphill in the beginning, followed by a steep downhill in the end. I pushed at the start, trying to follow Mark Reeves, who was actually leading our age-group. I caught up with him at the highest point, just to loose him again on the downhill, finishing second by 3 seconds. I would have easily won the 50's, by about two minutes, I think. We got all kinds of presents, everybody enjoyed the day. Thanks to Jay for yelling when he got close, that definitely helped me to improve on last year's performance by 6 seconds!

Results: Mark Reeves 16:07/Juergen 16:10/Jay: 16:16

The over-all winner ran 14:50, 2nd was 15:48, Jay and I were 9th and 8th.
