It’s my second time to participate this race after last year. I am so exciting now. 

去年我也參加過這個比賽，這是我第二次參加比賽。我感覺非常興奮。

 

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

2. 為什麼決定參加參加這場比賽？

I want to challenge this race again, because I was not satisfied with my grade last year. I hope I can perform better and get a great result.

我對自己去年的成績不是很滿意，所以今年我準備再給自己一次機會，希望能發揮更好，獲得滿意的成績。

3. 你認為這場比賽最具挑戰性的是哪個部分？比如天氣、賽道？

I think I am challenged by the uphill courses and the hot weather as well. But I will do my best.

我認為賽道最具挑戰性的是爬坡路段，還有天氣炎熱也是個難題。

 

4.  There is a few more weeks to go, how’s your race preparation going?

4. 距離開賽還有幾周，你準備得怎麼樣？

I am expecting for running in Hongkong. Actually, compared with competition itself, the experience for running in HK is what I am looking forward to most. I am just thinking about enjoying the beautiful trail and the fun of running in HK.

對於來香港參加比賽我非常期待，其實比起比賽本身，我更重視一種體驗，希望自己在比賽過程中能好好欣賞賽道的風景，感受跑步的樂趣。

 

5.  What would you do to deal with the challenges and difficulties while racing?

5. 比賽時，你會怎麼處理那些挑戰和困難的部分？

Although there are lots of challenges and difficulties, but I think the most important part is all about mindset.  So, runners should adjust the mindset.

困難和挑戰雖然很多，但我認為心態才是取勝的關鍵，所以我們要調整好心態。

 

6.  Compared to the trail running in Korea, what is your expectation for 2017 Asian Skyrunning Championships - MSIG Lantau 50?

6. 與韓國越野賽相比，你對2017 – 亞洲Skyrunning冠軍賽暨MSIG 大嶼山 50有什麼期待？

As it is a large Asia competition, we are expecting to compete with Asian runners and run in courses that we can not experience in Korea. We are looking forward to it.

因為這次比賽非常大型，所以我想應該會遇到很多不同的亞洲跑手，賽道也會很不一樣，這些都是在韓國無法體驗的，我們對此非常期待。

 

7.  As an experienced trail runner, could you share some running tips to the beginners? For example, pre-race meal plan or training…  

7. 作為一個經驗豐富的越野跑手，你能為新手提供一些小建議嗎？比如：賽前飲食和訓練……

Unlike road running, trail running has a high risk of injury. If you are beginner, just enjoy your running rather than compete with anyone.

越野跑和路跑區別很大，前者很容易受傷。如果你是個新手，好勝心不要太強，好好享受跑步過程就好。

 

All the best to all the Korean runners heading to Hong Kong for the MSIG Lantau 50 Asian Skyrunning Championship.
