Run for a Reason - MSF Orienteering 2014

Dear friends

When you pray, what do you pray for normally? A better world? Good health? A harmonious family? Better performance at work? Be more efficient?..

Doesn't matter what it is, I am sure everyone's prayer is out of good intention.

This year, I joined the MSF Orienteering (https://ssl.msf.hk/oc/home/en) after 8 years. While running across Cheung Chau Island, I felt this rush of adrenaline again. Remembering how it felt that year with my hand tied with a map and an ecard, running frantically like a maniac for a checkpoint, reading a map and discussing with groupmates about the landmark and land feature of the each checkpoint, calculating the marks we obtained and which checkpoint to forgo.... I love that feeling. 

So, this year, with my besties M and T and a new member, K, we ran a total of 11km and registered at 22 checkpoints, gaining 520/900 points. The result was not bad indeed. I am so proud of myself because truly, I ran all the way without feeling tired. And, unlike last time, we completed the race as a team.

4 people, 8 feet, 1 direction.
Team Yggdrasil, go go GO!!!!!
