Affindi’s attempts MSIG Lantau 50 – Asian Skyrunning Championship

2016 Malaysia Action Asia Champion Affindi looking forward to the new challenge

1. What do you feel about participating in in MSIG Lantau 50 - Asian Skyrunning Championship for the first time?

I am so excited and can’t wait to see the course!

2. Why did you decide to participate in this race?

I have participated in MSIG Sai Kung 50 two years ago, but I was not in my best condition because it was not easy for me to adjust to the different terrains and weather in Hong Kong. I would like to challenge myself once again, and as this is also the Asian Skyrunning Championship, I would like to meet the elites around Asia. I think both the weather and course would be a great challenge to my physical condition and race pattern. But I prepared myself ready for the race!

3. As an experienced trail runner, could you share some running tips to the beginners?

The biggest tip is to keep training, especially the long-distance ones. For beginners, I would also recommend them to work out once a week, keep themselves hydrated, get enough rest, have a balanced diet and to get a right pair of trail running shoes to prevent injury.
