-park your trekking pole at 50km help last 50-100km if you lack of training , really ! but now i not really need it :)

Most crazy climb 80km - needle hill (front view)

when you on the top of needle hill " the most dangerous part" - going down to mid mountain (grass hill)

advice 1st timer to HK100 not going for timing or trophy, ultra is all about finishing/complete , any how they still give you a reward as ...


you deserve it ...


i complete 26hours , and i not training well - slack , gain weight after sundown 100km , no gel nothing just a plan water depends on water station provided and i cramp at 18km and i meet chin ann he was giving me some sour sour thingy .
