Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon . . . er 10K

Today I ran the 10K for the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon. It was a big race (30,000+ runners) and a great way to see Hong Kong. And my time was only a few minutes off my Bolder Boulder time from last May, so all that dimsum eating hasn't slowed me down yet! It might also help that the run was at or below sea level. Yes, below. If you start in Tsim Sha Tsui (the tip of Kowloon) and end in Wan Chai (on Hong Kong Island), you have to cross the harbor. So the race route takes you throught the West Harbor Tunnel. While the air quality left something to be desired, both in the tunnel and running straight through Central, overall it's a great route.
