Posted by on May 27, 2011 in BLOG | 2 comments Well it was really tough to get there on my own and the torrential rains and thunder as I arrived posed challenges to get on the wall, but once that stopped, it got nice and I was amazed to find I had about 10 km section of the Great Wall totally to myself for 2 days. Not a soul to be seen. In the photo where you see the run down sentry tower to the left you can see the wall snaking in the back....

GREAT WALL MARATHON!

Posted by on May 21, 2011 in BLOG | 0 comments What a cool event. Capacity crowds and a really great day. I did the half marathon distance but now wish I did the full just for the pleasure of covering that section of the wall again. People from 52 countries came to partake and everyone seemed to have had a good time. Not a fast time though since those walls are steep!)This South American fellow raced it pretty much barefoot!
