Too - Monday the 13th of June, 2011

Too hot.
Too humid.
Too far.
Too high.
Too slow.
Too fat.
Too much...

A run up the daunting Razor Hill behind HKUST in my Barefoot Trail Gloves that didn't go particularly well!

This little garden hidden away in the jungle just keeps getting bigger and bigger!

Heading out past a little water course before starting the uphill battle

The trails are largely too steep for me to run, just walking at a fair pace keeps my heart rate above 150BPM!

This shot is exposed for the sky, don't be fooled by how dark it looks!

I originally thought these might have been drawn on before the board was put in place, but I found some more further up, so guess there's a roaming doodler around!

An old ammunition box hangs in a tree: a make-shift shelf

Getting a little higher, a storm approaching from the north is quite evident!

The 409m end is in sight!

Another shot of the Eastern Hong Kong Coastline. This would have been an awesome place/time for a 1-2hr time lapse!

Conditions made this already tough route much longer and harder than it should have been. When the going gets tough, the tough are out on the trails for 150% of their normal times, etc, etc...
