一大清早
在與昨晚借宿一宿的素雲阿姨寒暄幾句之後
拎著昨晚準備的營養早餐就來到了捷運站門口準備與育宣BOY碰面
還是那個隨性的打扮
一如往常
就這樣
令人訝異的是
今年為了要更上一層樓地好好愛地球
大會決定不安排接駁車
所以我們
走過去 !
哈哈

寄放完衣物
為了爭取誘人的獎金與獎品
子淵準備已久
整個蓄勢待發 (健康早餐，CHECK ! 嶄新WALKMAN耳機，CHECK ! 全新亮麗配備，CHECK ! )
於是便厚著臉皮拖著育宣來到起跑線第一排 ......
結果
驚 !
整個訝異 !!!
那、莫非是 ...
F.I.R !!!
繼去年邀請小天王林俊傑直接來個賽後LIVE之後，今年的國家地理頻道再度給力地邀請到了巨星坐鎮 ! 再度讓我倆覺得臉上有光，增色不少 ! 哈哈 !

碰 !
起跑了
今年可能是攝食時機點完全恰到好處
一路跑下來
就像角上乘著孫悟空的筋斗雲一般
我都覺得要飛起來了呢 !
再加上賽道平坦
距離恰到好處
還不時有徐徐微風出來
完全跟去年的落雨繽紛呈現反差
到後半段也不向去年一般開始有軟腳的傾向
如此這般這般
就飄進了終點
GOD !
這也太順利了吧 !!!
前面第二名的法國選手還回過頭跟我握手致意 !!!
第四名 !!!!!!
媽 ! 我終於成功了 !
報名費被我COVER過去了 !!!
明年一定要在回來更上一層樓
前三名的國家地理探險包包超級誘人呀 ~~~

Early as a bird,
I arrived at a station of Taipei MRT nearest to the course this time after waving goodbye to my kind auntie who just afforded me an stay last night.
Awaiting for my partner, who were busying participating in an event yesterday, I also was trying to concentrate my mind, to be readied for the challenge ahead.
As for,
I've been training hard, for the possible prize and yet another new record in my running career.
As casual as always, my dude Yu-Hsuan showed up, and we started to move slowly to where the event would be held this year, near a riverbank at New Taipei city, by our feet, yes, the event host just decided to let as love our earth more this year !

Finishing the check of our belongings at the gathering site, we started to get more and more excited as starting time move closer ... Healthy Breakfast CHECKED ! Brand new Sony Walkman CHECKED ! Shining New Hardwares CHECKED !
Feeling a little bit sense of courage, we got the the starting line to fight for the advantage once the race started ... wait a moment ! Aren't they F.I.R !？The host still have their own way to get stars to endorse for them this time ! Last time was J.J. , rendering the event to totally his own showcase moment after the race last time !

BOOM !
Kicked off.
Riding the smooth breeze along the riverbank, miraculously,
this time,
I just felt so right !
Maybe it was that I finally figured out the right timing for consuming my meal before the race,
or maybe it was the great cloudy weather plus the refreshing scent from nearby grassland, I felt that maybe it's the time for me to write a whole new page into my running career --- winning a prize !
Nearly feeling nothing at all, without pains,
Suddenly I flew over the goal line,
Winning the fourth place !!!
Even a french prize winner came to me to share the joy competing in such a nice race.

I'd be back !
Next time coming home with a National Geographic Explorer Bag !!!
