  Hey everyone!

  Wow this must be my first topic in...many months...hope you are all well!

  For those of you that don't know - I've been training for several months with my team to conquer the Oxfam Trailwalker that is happening this Friday in Hong Kong.

  The Trailwalker is an annual charity event devoted to raising funds for development and poverty relief for people in underdeveloped
  nations.

  The course consists of a 100km hike over the MacLehose trail from east Hong Kong to west, and has a vertical gain of 14,000ft.

  The structure is unique: four-person teams run the entire race together, similar to an adventure race. All four members must stay together the entire way, checking into ten different checkpoints along the course. A team is disqualified (although allowed to continue non-competitively) if any member of the team drops out.

  You are allowed 48 hours to finish it.

  We aim to hike/run it in 20.

  To put that in perspective, the Gurkha's run the whole damn thing in 13.

  If any of you would like to sponsor our team you can find out more here:

  For those who are further interested, for some reason I decided it would be interesting to tweet our way along the trail, so follow us @menofthetrail on twitter (http://www.twitter.com/menofthe... for updates of our progress!

  Many thanks for reading if you got this far!

  Cheers,

  Nic
