Wallet Bleeding for TMBT

Kenneth and me went to Mong Kok's outdoor adventure shop to gab some extra gear which we thought that's essential. We've got some energy bar, power gel, dehydrated food.
 
During the recent long distance training, I felt a bit fatique for my leg. Therefore, I've bought a pair of Black Diamond Trekking Pole and check if it suits me. I hope the poles could support my legs and prevent them from any injuiries at the last part of the race!
 
Since there was rain last Sunday and my shoes got wet, my toes was swollen and stasis until now. I am afraid that my nails would be replaced soon. I wore a pair of old socks and that may be one of the causes for this problem.
 
Although the major reason was the unsuitability for the Raidlight trail shoes too as I always get used to running shoes on trail running only. To eliminate the problem thoroughly, I've bought two pair of new Lorpen socks. This brand is good for me. I wore it to run Trailwalker 2011 and my feet were in good condition even though they were wet in most part of the race. I trust in it very much!
 
We've so delighted that we stayed for about 2 hours for the shopping. However, our wallets are bleeding. We were so tired and the tiredness was even more than a trail running!

To celebrate our big shopping, we've had a good lunch and dinner.

Firstly, we had some Vietnamese noodles at Mongkok.


Then we tried something new, a small family-sized burger restaurant "Droplet" at Central district. The ingredients are fresh and the burgers are fresh made. Thumbs up!
A big Carbo-loading for my tough Double-Au training tomorrow.
