Continues ~

I was leaving at 3:45 a.m. from CP6.  I have no choice because I am sure cannot walk faster and don't want walk under the sun.  so I have to go immediately.

The doctor told me from CP6 to CP7 only 10 km.  My plan is spend about 3.5 hours to CP7.  If everything go well, I will be there at 7:30 a.m.

There was dark, wind and I feel lonely and scary, I cannot remember how many times I fell asleep in my walking process then got hurt on my legs.  I listen my MP3 and singing very loud over the song.  Talk to myself hundred times " Don't sleep, almost there, keep going...".  I keep going until sunrise it was 3.5 hours later but I have no idea where is the CP7.

There are the dusty and rocky vechile road nearby the village with farm.  I can't see somewhere can set up the check point I am sure I have to walk another hour.

At 8:15 a.m. I still on my way but I don't have enough water for drink only left 150ml in bottle, lunkliy I met one of the RtP staff he is a american guy and ride the motor bike to check the trial for each check point.  I asked him where is the CP7? is it I missing somewhere?  He reply me : " Look~ just over there"

Hooray~ only 6~700 meters, I walk faster then before and reach the CP7 at 8:45 a.m.

When I been there I took my Chicken tikker with rice (800 kcal) add some hot water, then go to toilet and back to have my heavy breakfast.  I used 20 mintues to done what I need. 

Took off my pair of shoes then lay down for sleep.  I woke up at 9:30 a.m. feeling is much more better than before. I am not gonna be stay I have to go now, because still left 31 km for complete the long trail.

I am say goodbye to my friends then go by myself again.  This times I refill my 1.5 L bottles of water, 2 more 650ml and 2 more 650ml bottles for spare.  Because I worry about the distance may have some mistake.  I only trust carry more water for protect myself.

Got into the village, many children say hello to me, someone try to give me a watermelon or Hami melon, and 2 or 3 old lady talk to me then invite me stay to have dinner.  Yes, is dinner.  Ha~ Ha~ their are nice.  I was busy for say Hello and wave my hand, can't remember I was saying how many times "

Hi~ Hi~ everyone, I just finished my long trail in Gobi Desert.  I am very well, just come out 2 or 3 blister on my feet.
 
Because the one of our competitor conlaps in the hill yesterday, RtP takes a little change to the course.
 
The long trial changes the staring time from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m..  Before CP1 we have a lots of times river crossing, It make my a pair of shoes and socks wet and muddy, and got thousand times hurt my legs from the river stones.
 
I have a very hard 2 hour and 25 minutes there, then we arrived to the desert, thanks god we don't have sunny day, because if sunny day there from CP2 to 5 must very hot.  luckly we have windy and rainy afternoon.  It is not comforable but safty.
 
But when I am walking on the rocky vechile road I just felt on sleep many times, Just too tried cannot controll my minf, eyes close, then got hurt......
 
Very hard to catch to CP4 because there was 14.5 km long, Just remember got hurt, eating, drink a lot and keep walking (against and against)
 
I was very tried and I want walk with the sun light.  So when I been the check point just refill my bottles of water and the engery bar then keep going.
 
I talk to myself thousand times "Don't sleep, take the pill any engry bar every 2 hours, drink 1/3 bottle of mixing engery water...
 
I think I just like who pet a goose for taken their liuer.
 
When I reached to CP5 was 9:30 p.m. still had little sun light there, but after refill water there are almost dark, I was making some friend is the event.
 
Ellen was a 58 age mother, her son come with her, she was a wonderful mother with very good son.  We making a small team should go together.  We used a small red light on our backpack and my headlamp to go.
 
CP6 on the top of the hill and CP7 had hot water for making some fried food.  We decision go faster to CP7, take a longer rest and having food there.
 
But trial CP5 to CP6 only 10.5 km, we spend almost 3 hours. I was very  tried.  I must go to sleep for protect myself, don't get hurt is very impossibe.
 
I was sleeping at 2:15 a.m. then woke up at 3:45 a.m.  I have to go by myself, because I cannot walk faster, so decide to go.
 
P.S. I am so sorry cannot continous, because no baries here. I will try to writte Part 2 later.

It was very hard day today.  We have very eerily mooring call on 2:45am, hot water at 3am and we have to get on the bus on 4am.

I don't have good sleep last night, stay indoor but very hot, and too many bugs flying everywhere. can't sleep...

We by the bus to somewhere then start the race at 6:05am.

First distance was 13.5km, all is rocky riverbed and vehicles road, I was used 3 hours to completed the 1st check point.

From the CP1 to CP2 we have to walk rocky riverbed around 1 and half hours then climbing up to the hill.
Because we got more inside the desert so mush get hot then before.

Just climbing up to the top of the hill.  We~ Unbelievable there was a desert up there.  No way~
I didn't expect desert up there, Is it very very hot up there and very hard to walk on the sand.

I have set on my target must finish within 2 and half hours.  It was very hard' I just step forward but the sand will pull me back.  But it was the beautiful place for taking photo.  He~ He~.

I am taking on my speed and got on time, I have been the CP2 at 11:38am.

From CP2 to the camp something happen up there, the details I really don't want to say' but I want the sickness people will get well soon.

I have hard day on stage 4, I have to say thank you to my Daddy, thank you for your teaching me give hand to somebody, thank god I can use what was I learn form the AMS.  I don't scary of it, I just happy of what I did today.

And I have to tell everyone who visit my blog' tomorrow is the most difficult day, total distance are 99km.

I am sure cannot update my blogs tomorrow.  After that the stage 6 must very easy.

I have to go now, is was 8:52pm here.  The morning call at $:30am

God bless me and Barry.

P.S.  Actually here cannot read or write in Chinese.  Who was writing for me in Chinese just all is monster words.  But when I came back I will read all of them.

Hello everyone,  I am still just completed Stage 3.  (Haray~)
 
Last night start raining,  About 4:30am raining very hard.  I woke up at 5:30am, windy outside and littlebite raining.
 
We have 2 check point today.  From camp 3 to CP1.  We have 6 times river crossing.  And from the CP1 to camp all is rocky and dusty trial.
 
We started at 8am, going down to the riverbed, this is my scary point, rocky everywhere, danger everywhere.
 
When I am been the first river crossing point, I choose some bigger stone put it into the river' try to build some step point to cross the river.  Someone try to give hand,  some not, most of competitor just crossing with their socks and a pairs of shoes.
 
At that situation just like a mini world.  Different courtly, different face, different culture,  I think if some people would help, We just do something nice to the other.  But someone just stopped there and looking for / waiting for what we will done, If we did it they will go without any thanks.  But if we cannot build it, that "somebody" will show the face meaning "stupid god~"
 
Someone don't stop just go forward.  I don't know.  May be I am not that clever,  But I will try to find' try to try some method to soft the problem.  
 
Finally, I choose to took off my shoes and socks, I am going to the last few competitors.
 
Nevermind, this is my decision, this it my experience.  I have learn my lesson on that.
 
River crossing is not that easy, I have to protect myself, my feet is most important of this race.  So this morning very busy for took off / on my shoes.  And the river water was cold and high up to more or over 2 fleet.  Because raining at last night.
 
I went to the CP1 at 11:35am.  Then started going up tot the hill by the dusty trial.  The trial was very dry, when I step on it will pull me back.  I think Gobi is the most of crispy plantet of the world.  You just touch it must make it broken.
 
Woo~ Woo~ is raining again, cold, windy, hungry and lonely.  It was my racing the lonely plantet.  Ha~ Ha~ nevermind I do know how to make myself happy.  Take an photos to some in front of me, walk behind me.  Listen the song prepared by my husband.
 
Hard time will gone, I have been CP2 at 1:19pm.  Not bad just on my target time and on my speed.
 
After CP2 it start to going up and down to the hill, it will get much more hot then before.
 
I was keep going and didn't stop, I also have my lunch on my trial.  I don't have other choice, If stop somewhere before CP2 must get cold, If I stop somewhere after CP2 I am sure I don't have enough water to the camp because sunny up there.
 
That was very hard to hiking under the hot weather, but when I step forward, that mean I will get closer to the camp.
 
Racing the plantet is the big challenge for the competitor.  What's your training, planning, perpetration and do you have strong mind to face on the challenger.
 
I hope somebody will understand my English.  But I am try my best to explain my situation and what I think.
 
Today I was completed my race at 4:16pm,  not bad it was under my target.
 
Tonight we will stay at village, some local house marked by mud.  I just finished cleaning myself by the river.  And I having my dinner right now.
 
We have very eerily morning at 2:30am, because will we left here before 4am.  Woo~
 
Now, I want to tell everyone, don't worry about me,  I feel very well after 3 days race.
 
P.S.  Christy or somebody would you please tell me hoe about my little boy Angus?  Are he okay?  I am miss my lovely kids and Shan so much.  Who can help?

Hi~ Hi~ Everyone, I was completed the Stage 2 race.
 
Today's weather very good, sunny, windy and dry.
 
This is the description of terrain :
 
Camp 2 to Check point 1 : Rolling Hills and Plains.  (14km)
 
Check point 1 to 2 : Down onto riverbed and along track on otherside  (8km)
 
Check point 2 to 3 : Along undulating vehicle track avove river.  (7km)
 
I was woke up at 6:30am.  Then packed all of my stuff.  We started at 9am.  Just started I was found my backpack had something wrong.  I don't known why but just feel uncomfortable.  So I have to check and pick it up again.  I am the last one leavening from the camp......
 
The first part of the trial just like yesterday.  Climbing up to the top of the hill then going down few times.
 
I was choose the Z Shape method the going up and down, so I am very sure if I can completed 7 days race, my distance must over 250KM.
 
I am planning I have to use about 4~5 houes to complete CP1.  But lucky I have been there at 12:38pm.  At that moment I am the last 10.
 
After CP1 we will going down and get in the village.  the trial is nearby the river, but rocky.  I have to pay more attention for the rocky road.  Because I really don't want get hurt again.
 
I was enjoin the trial very much, nice weather, beautiful views and I can't believe I will step on the riverbed, I was take many picture for this and some unknown competitionor.
 
At 2:34pm I reach the CP2.  Keep going still left 7km.  This is apart of crossing the river.  I am so excited for what will be happen there.
 
40 minutes later I am been there, I was took off my pairs of shoe and socks, then step on the river water, Woo~ so great!  The water are cool, it refreshing my tried feet.  And I got 2 beauitful stones from the river for Christy and Brian.  I hope both of you will love it.
 
Not far away, keep going, keep going.  I went to the Camp 2 at 5pm.
 
Thank god I don't get hurt and I am feel good after the trial.
 
Somebody asked me why I jwill oined this Gobi race.  I love to say I want to made a route model for my lovely kids.  I want teach them if you set a target for youself and don't give up,  One day your dream will come trun.
 
And I want to say everyone are the same, but you can make some different of your life,  when I am ggeting older I have my own memory,  I can tell my grandson what I did of my life.
 
Actually, I cannot read any message from my blog.  Here have some I.T. problem, May be Clement can help!  (Ha~ Ha~)
 
Christy please tell Brian, Angus and Daddy, I love you and miss you so much.
 
I have to stop now, someone are waiting to use the Cybertent.  And start raining here.
 
P.S.  Christy I have to tell you that, I saw many different kind of animals there.  Goats, sheeps, camels, donkeys', cows, dogs and your most of love - HORSES.  I took few picture of it.  I will show you when I am back.
 
Goodbye everyone.
 
with love   XXXXXXX

Hi~ Hi~ Everyone I was completed the race stage 1.
 
Actually I don't have good sleep last night.  The local helper turn-on the music at night until 00:30.
 
And last night just only 8~9 degree.  I was put on my light weight jacket and the goose feather jacket but still very very cold.  My feet was freezing.  And I woke up at 5a.m. because I want to use the outdoor toilet first.
 
Today had a nice weather.  Sunny, little wind and dry.  We start at 9:30am.
 
Check point 1 about 8km, it was flat dusty trial, I used 1hour and 45 minutes to completed.
 
Check point 2 about 9km. It was on rocky, dusty anf we need to across the river. I used 1 hour and 35 minutes to completed.
 
But the Check point 3 are very difficult.  We need go up to the hill but the trial was very dry dusty and much much more rocky, there not very stable trial.  After few going up and down, when I reach to the top of the hill.  Wow~~  It was amazing, I never seen the beautiful picture like this.  It's remind me - "No pain, no gain"  It is the truth.
 
After that I have to find the next marker flag.  Oh! no,  We are to go down the hill by rocky trial, How to explain?  The hill sharp just like waterproof, But it was rocky everywhere, when I going down' actually I can't stand, I can't walk, can't walk meaning is don't thank move your leg by yourself.
 
Any movement was from the "rockyproof" push you, I only can do was try to use my hiking pole to help me stop, I am worry about will broken.....
 
Finally, I slight down to the hill.  Don't worry I am safety' but still had few times twist my leg to wrong position.
 
And I have a very bad news on this moaning.  My backpack was broken near the zip area.  Today is the first day competition.  How can fix this problem??  Now I have to say thank you to my brother Danny, thank you for your sleeping pad, It save me, I used the sleeping bag liner to fixed this problem.  When I come back I will give you big kiss.  (Ha~ ha~)
 
I was finished my stage 1 race at 5:34pm' I qam not the top hundred.  But I still very happy to say "I did it"
 
Now, I am in Camp 2, there is big flat place, grass on the ground, hills was surrounded here, but very windy here, and very cold now.
 
I hope I can have good rest tonight.
 
And I am sorry to my sister-in-law, who name is Ivy,  She get married today,  I am so sorry cannot attend the wedding party, and I have to say thank you to my husband Shan, thank you don't mind and look after the kids.  I hope everyone who will attend the wedding dinner will enjoy.

Hi Elizabeth, Keep up the good work and forget about the zip on your backpack - Just focus on the coming days which I'm sure you will enjoy !

Elizabeth - I am following your progress with admiration - training is no substitute for the reality which you are now facing. 2 days done and one more marathon day before the long haul. Just keep going - well done. Keith

Rush Hour!!!

I am not talking about the film acted by Jackie Chan.  This is my truly feeling now becuase I was busy for complete my office duty.

And I was checked my e-mail seriously last night, printed out some documents in need, marked that down some data on my notebook and checked the equipments list again.  Unfortunately, I was found forgot to put some little stuff in my baggage...

Only 4 days to go, I will be there.  I am looking forward to 7 days in Gobi desert.

Can't wait~

As with Barry, I am adding to your bag a thousand smiles from the children we will visit thanks to your efforts and the support of all ISS. Let these magical moments of joy carry you forward in difficult times. Keep well and be safe :-)

Posted On: 21 Jun 2010 02:04 am

Dear Elizabeth, I have every confidence in you. You will be doing great! Learning from our great Chinese culture, I would think that some nice Chinese soup everyday brefore the march can upkeep your health and make you as strong as a tiger. Your participation in the Gobi march is as big as the World Cup to me. I will be watching you closely and learning your progress till the end of the march. Enjoy your Gobi trip! Eddy
