Lantau SE run, and hardcore cross-training plan

Hiked and rested yesterday.  Paddled the Lantau SE run today.

4:49 DB
4:57 Pincher
5:37 Mui Wo (Tung Wan Tau)
6:25 Nav Beacon 177 (past Ha So Pai)
6:45 Tai Long Wan
7:05 Nav Beacon 177
7:09 Ha So Pai
7:37 Mui Wo (TWT)
8:07 the beach at the "pincher"
* * * paddled out to Disney to admire the firework, but stopped to turn around when they stopped shooting * * *
8:24 DB Tai Pak

Then I called up Dennis to report my touch-down, and asked him about the Lantau trip ... I still don't believe it, but he agreed to come!  We haven't confirmed a day yet, but the tentative plan is for him to come over to DB after work on a Friday, drop off his stuff, shower, get some dinner, brief, and then we will launch either late night or early morning (as in 0300 kind of early morning.)  We will paddle till around noon, when the sun tries to bake us alive, we will land for lunch and hide in the shade for two hours.   Then we will paddle back to DB, try to land before 5:00pm, shower, stash the stuff in my apartment, get a takeout pizza from wildfire, and then bus/ferry to meet Paul and Yuki for overnight trailwalker training.

Mwahahahaha, how is that for hardcore, back-breaking cross training?  Paul and Yuki will probably have to give us piggy rides!

I still have to go back to our trip log to guestimate how much time we might need for the sea trip.  In all likelihood, we will be toiling for well over 24 hrs non-stop!
