A classical race on Lantau Island. It is very similar to Lantau Trail, with slight modification from Tai O to Shek Pik catch water. The modification extended the route to 70 KM.
It will be misty and humid on the coming Saturday, likely with a few thunderstorms. We are not sure if the race would be cancelled. Given Friday's weather report, the trail is going to be slippery for sure. I have done one Lantau Trail in 10 hours 40min with ease. Considering the potential weather condition, I'm going to take it easy this time. The target is 12 hours, so I can catch the 8:30pm Mui Wo to Discovery Bay ferry.
Plan
The course is 70KM with an cumulative elevation gain 3219m loss 3221m. Overall plan is to start with a flat equivalent pace of 6:00 and consistently decay by 8% every double distance.
