渣打馬拉松2011

日期：2011年2月20日

呢次係我第一次跑咁晏嘅馬拉松，如果太陽高照，氣溫又超過二十幾度嘅話，我諗我會棄權居多，因為我試過二次喺咁氣溫之下，幾經辛苦先至完成賽事，唔中暑真係算好好彩。

周日天公造美，氣溫介乎13至17度，密雲清涼，非常適合跑馬拉松。

我從未試過七點鐘咁遲先至出門口搭車去跑步，重有時間食早餐添。去到現場，氣氛比往年遜色，冇咁熱鬧。

主要原因係賽事分得太散。二組全馬同埋挑戰組半馬喺7點前已經開跑咗，之後要到8點45分先至跑半馬嘅第二組，而最後嗰組要到9點15分開始。由於每組開跑時間相隔太遠，好處係無咁擠擁，空間多咗，壞處就係無咗嗰種人山人海，熱烘烘嘅感覺。


喺比賽之前，我同幾個朋友映番張相留念，其他啲朋友跑全馬，所以佢哋冇份映喇！



呢隻鞋幾CUTE，映埋佢！

嗰日天陰密雲，氣溫約13度，比賽開始時氣氛算唔錯。清真寺前面過啲嘅交通燈係賽事起點，接近8點45分，所有跑手一齊展開跑前倒數，10，9，8，7，6，5，4，3，2，1。倒數完畢，喺一片掌聲中，我開始跟住大隊移向起步點。我踏過計時電子地氈後，正式開始賽事。望望手表，計算吓自己會用幾多時間完成賽事。

沿途有好多由大會安排嘅喇喇隊搖旗納喊，亦有途人圍觀拍掌鼓勵同埋拍攝。喺咁熱鬧嘅環境之下，所有跑手都跑得特別起勁。我都係用自已平時嘅跑步速度，好用心咁去跑好每一公里。渣馬水站安排好好，整段賽程有成五個水站。除咗蒸溜水之外，重有寳礦力同埋抹汗嘅海棉。沿途路段，亦有工作人員手持松節油，俾一啲有須要嘅跑手使用。

我跑咗五公里，睇睇時間，用咗三十分鐘，時間偏慢，但我又唔想太辛苦，唯有繼續保持速度。沿途有好多市民擧手向我哋喝啋同示意，亦有人影相，我一路跑一路向佢哋揮手以作回應。眨吓眼又跑到十公里指示牌，吓？有冇搞錯？乜跑得咁慢？用咗成個鐘頭！算喇，我心諗，都係唔好發力住，如果唔係，後段分分鐘無以為繼。

冇幾耐我已經到達西隧入口，進入管道之後，我感覺裡面嘅空氣比出面焗少少，但由於天氣清涼，故此影响唔大。沿途我只係見過幾個跑手出現抽筋，要停低楂油。我雖然跑得唔快，不過沿西隧出口，我都冇停過。經過順德中心嘅時候，有多人喺樓上欄河向我哋揮手打氣，我原本跑到死吓死吓，霎時間又充滿動力。跟住經過中環 ，金鐘，過彎仔，沿住軒尼詩道，一直跑去維園終點。就喺呢個時候，我個老友喺後面嗌我，佢話不如一齊拍住衝過終點。呢個提議又幾新鮮喎，我哋最後一鼓作氣，攜手過終點。結果齊齊用咗2小時08分完成整個賽事。

完成賽事人數（三小時內）：8,869
我的總名次：1265

沙田城門銀河皇者之戰半馬2010

由於愈跑愈差，從今日開始，我已經將分類名稱：《馬拉松》修改為《馬拉蟲》，表示我嘅速度只達到蟲級。






嗰日開頭跑嘅時候幾清涼，點知去到最後2K直路，陽光普照，

熱到我完全唔想跑，喺直路前嘅彎位，我見到有個水站，即刻衝埋去，諗住飲番幾杯同埋淋吓個頭降溫，點知原來啲水已經派晒，我由充滿希望轉為極度失望，因為我好怕熱嘅天氣，幾年前嘅10K賽事，我亦係喺呢段路幾乎中暑，記憶猷新，我諗住慢慢跑，捱返終點，但始終敵唔過不斷上升嘅體溫，我最後唯有踄步返終點。

結果用咗成二個鐘頭二十分鐘先至完成賽事。

澳門銀河娛樂國際馬拉松2010

眨吓眼又過咗一。今年嘅澳門銀河娛樂國際馬拉松己經喺本月五日（星期日）舉辦咗，

我嘅成績每下愈況，原因係操練少咗，食嘢多咗，體重比舊年多咗七磅，以往出賽，心裡面期待破往年紀錄，依家出賽則只望完成賽事。

跑步同讀書一樣，如逆水行舟，不進則退！今年成績，較去年慢咗成12分鐘。

It was sunny and a little bit hot even in the morning. I did not get to my best shape.  The time was not so accurate as no chip was provided. My time was very poor, i.e.57minutes 53 seconds and ranked 3131 among 4708 runners.

THE HKDRC 33RD HALF MARATHON 2010

The HKDRC 33rd Half Marathon 2010 had been held on 7-11-2010.

Here comes the route for the event: Bradbury Jockey Club Youth Hostel > Bride's Pool Road > Wu Kau Tang Road >Bradbury Jockey Club Youth Hostel .

I started to practise running in September. I had tried 21km for four times before the event. Obviously It was not enough for the race. It was a sunny day with 26 degree the highest and 20 degree the lowest. The event started at 8:00 a.m. As corrected by 路人, the time should be 7:30 a.m. The hot temperature and the steep slopes discouraged me from moving any further at the end of the event. 

My time was 2:20:41 hours and ranked 660 among 785 participants.VERY POOR!

Half-marathon at Manitoba Canada

我喺六月二十一日參加咗喺加拿大文尼吐巴省其中城市温尼泊舉行嘅半馬，賽事舉行前的一個禮拜都重係十幾度，但喺比賽嗰日氣温竟然錄得破紀錄嘅最高三十度，加上九成賽道完全暴露喺陽光之下，跑到我攤攤腰，幾次想放棄，成績亦係最差嘅一次．據報導，嗰次賽事破咗不適入院人數紀錄。而根據當地醫學權威表示，當日溫度升至30度，加上濕度為歷屆最高，不適合舉行長跑。結果大會在十一時開始將賽道封閉。以下為其中的一份報章嘅賽後報導。

Sunday's sweltering heat was a challenge for many Manitobans more used to the cold up until last week. Running mates Gail Brigham, 53 and Jill Naird, 50, train together for the half-marathon every year. During their last major training run in Gimli two weeks ago, they were bundled up in tuques and mittens. "Two weeks later and we're like 'oh my goodness,'"said Brigham."It was really hard for the Winnipeg runners, we didn't have much time to acclimatize." Officially, it was "white" hot before noon in Winnipeg, and marathon organizers started winding down the event. By 11 a.m., the temperature hit 30 C but felt even hotter with the humidex, said marathon executive director shirley Lumb. when the conditions reach the "white" level, organizers start closing the course, she said.

More runners ended up in the medical tent this year than in years past, said marathon medical director Dr. Edward Pilat. "We kind of expected that because of the weather and the inability to acclimatize," Pilat said.

 

 

跑步會唔會跑死人呢？加拿大某大學就呢個問題做咗一項研究，將完成賽事嘅長跑選手嘅《心酵素》作分析。而《心酵素》同心臟病息息相關，《心酵素》愈高表示心臟病病發嘅機會愈大。最後發現，完成賽事嘅長跑選手嘅《心酵素》讀數等同一個患嚴重心臟病嘅病人。換句話講，跑步真係要量力而為，千祈唔好死頂，亦要順應個人體質，研究適合自己跑嘅路程距離。
