“As your friend – and as your leader – I must say that
I do not approve of stopping for coffee breaks on Race Day,”
said Jeff, after a couple of the girls on my Team Aletheia requested a little boost.
 
I didn’t mind so much because I was confident that we were already in the lead. 
At least I hoped we were. 
We needed this win.  Something, anything to boost morale.  
Stuff that had happened in the Philippines had kicked our butts –
we were worn out and ready for some FUN. 

Solution:
Run around Hong Kong.
Learn from the Master: Bruce Lee.
(Another famous native martial artist: Jackie Chan!)

 

 
 
The food challenge was no trouble at all for our Team.
Squid balls and fish eyeball (really tapioca) pudding – yum!  
 
 
Eventually, I did convince my Team to stop and smell the roses.
 
 
And guess what?!
 
We won!  Team Aletheia won the first Race!!

And the prize was …

 
a trip to

Hong Kong Disneyland

 
on Halloween!
 
Oh yeah!
There’s nothing quite like Mickey with devil horns – hmmm. 
 
 
Team Libre joined us for the night out,
and we all had a really great time!
 
 
We’re on a roll now!

 
Not to be competitive or anything,
but those other teams better watch out! 🙂
