I participated in the Formosa Trail (English: Formosa Trail; Chinese: 福尔摩沙古道), a trail running race held in Puli, Taiwan, for three days from November 30 to December 2, 2018. The Formosa Trail has five categories: 104 km, 65 km, 40 km, 16 km, and 8 km, and I entered and participated in the 40 km race.
I ran TransJeju, a trail running race held in Jeju Island, South Korea last week, October 20-21, 2018. Although I DNF'd at the 73.5km mark due to a knee injury, I would like to report on what I heard from other runners.
In this article, we will write about the race from the start to the finish line. (The article of the first part is below.) On race day, the forecast called for a high of 29 degrees, cloudy and sometimes sunny. However, I felt that it was about 35 degrees Celsius. The humidity was high, there was almost no wind, and the sun was strong. The conditions were not suitable for running.
On September 29, 2018, I participated in the XTERRA TAIWAN trail running race in Ken Ting, the southernmost tip of Taiwan, which I briefly reported on my Facebook page, but I hope to be able to tell you more about it on my blog.
This is my third TransLantau after 50km in 2016 and 100km in 2017.I entered the 100km again this year and came to Hong Kong Lantau Island. Unfortunately, I ended up abandoning the race at CP2 at the 19km mark. Now, what happened to me...
Well, I have participated in the Ultra Trail Tai Mo Shan (環大帽山越野), a trail race in Hong Kong during the year-end and New Year holidays. This event has three categories: 100 miles, 115km, and 50km, and I participated in the 115km TTF (Tsuen Wan, Ta Shek Wu, Fo Tan).
