Quick Update: 75k sea-trip Saturday, Sec 3 today, Lantau Peak tomorrow

Darn close to successfully killing myself last Saturday; I managed to fall asleep while crossing the ELC.  Between pulling an all-nighter on Friday night, food poisoning, v+/d+, electrolyte imbalance, no food, and heavy bleeding, I was a freaking mess.  I didn't realize how beaten I really was until I landed -- I could hardly walk a straight line, dragging Martlet up the beach was torturous.

So I rested on Sunday.  Did MacLehose Sec 3 again today, with Carol.  I was worried that I'm still in  very bad shape, because I am -- I was panting and wheezing just from running between Choi Hung station and the green top minibus, and my heart threatened to stop pumping.  But I did okay, we went very very slowly, so it wasn't particularly punishing.  Plus, I've hiked  this trail a few times now, so I'm getting comfortable with it. (1026 - 1429)

Will do Lantau Peak tomorrow ... finally.  I'm starting to think the trail is cursed, I've meant to hike it since I came back to HK, and every single time, it gets cancelled.

Will try to go to bed now.
