wah wah whats going on??!!

wah wah whats going on!!!!

is this AnD's way to tell me i need to blog more about film stuff? and i need to stop putting stupid pix of myself in drag? help!!!

this is all really rather exciting and nerve wracking!!!! but in any case, a BIG THANKS to the AnD guys....

ok, so let me calm down... and do a little update at least.

despite my radio silence, i actually did survive 100km trailwalker, completing it in 27:56. semi-respectable, i guess. here're some pix...

the full team. all fresh and happy at 9am in the morning. little did we know the horrors that lay ahead...  

this is hong kong. for real.

our team #57, trudging on in the dark. which actually lasts for 10+ hours. hiking in the dark sucks.

this was taken at 4am i think. right before going up bloody tai mo shan, the tallest mountain in HK. its about the height of 2 IFCs and a bit more. and we're all thinking, well, what WERE we thinking???

sunrise at tai mo shan. i took about 5 pictures here over a minute apart, and my teammate roy advanced about 2 inches.

paid a heavy price for taking this nice picture of the reservoir during the last stretch. i knew my feet were heavily blistered but i decided the heck with it, and thought i'd take it like a man. just a little discomfort. until... there was a searing pain between my big toe and my second toe. the little mofo there had exploded!! from then on it was raw skin on raw skin for every step. arrrggghhhh believe me it was painful. really painful.

500m more....... yes yes! note how my tanktop matches the color of the sign. oh i am so fashionable...

roy and phoebe come powering along....

and we survived!!!!!!!

so that's all for now folks.

so, what's next? i've decided to further abuse myself and destroy what's left of my knees by going for a full marathon next feb... i've never done one. anyone care to join?

Hey, you're official, congrats! :) Oy, that sounds like such a painful hike, but good job for completing it and taking such nice pictures along the way!

Michael, an artist with a rugged side to him. Nice one on finishing that trail walk. I would join you for Marathon in February, but then my lungs might collapse.
