I'm Pretty sure your tent mates rock because you rock!!! Your optimism and spirit are contagious, can't imagine anyone is resistant to it! I am singing songs for you all the way from Hk... Bohemian Rhapsody and Fame are accompanied by jetes and jazz hands, radiohead's House of Cards with contemporary dance. Fellow passengers on the Mtr think I am crazy but i don't care! I'll hike / dance / sing with ya! *Happy Thoughts!*

I never did finish my Racing The Planet: Sri Lanka blog, so I never got to share (with maybe the 6 people who were reading it) the major lessons learnt from that Event.

OK, so I intended to blog alot more about my prep and equipment for this event but it all quickly became a lower priority list item (the blogging, not the preparations!)...

I will be judging based on a set of criteria, which will provided to you before the start line. ;)

You totally have the right attitude already. Tent assignments are being sent out shortly - you have the chance of getting two more of goal 2 achieved - Japanese and Bulgarian (assuming you don't count South African, American or British).
