這週末跑的蘆洲觀音山半馬是賽季開始第一場有涼爽天氣的賽事！比賽一開始，我們6個領先集團跑在一起，跑在前導車後面，又有領先集團幫我破風的感覺還不賴。

跑到大約5K左右，沈清豪開始加速，我就跟上一起跑，這段路上我們互有先後，我很喜歡跟朋友一起跑的感覺。再來開始順風了，我決定順著風勢加速自己先跑。接下來的幾公里我享受了一段有前導車的路段。我本來以為我有可能可以跑個總一，但是到10公里左右，突然後面有個年輕人衝出來刷過了我，我盤算著是否有可能跟上他。如果我想贏，我就必須咬住他，可是，他的配速比我快，我該怎麼辦呢？最後，我決定放棄跟上，因為，比賽還在進行，這不是個賭運氣的時刻，萬一爆掉可就得不償失，就這樣，再見了，我的總一...

事實證明，我的決定是對的。最後2K我拼了命的衝卻仍看不到他的車尾燈。比賽結果他快了我2分鍾，如果當時我決定咬住他，我很有可能爆掉。最後，這場賽事我以總二收工。我很喜歡大會準備的閃亮亮獎盃，很漂亮。這場賽事辦得很優質，我想，這主要是因為，賽事主辦也是跑者的關係吧！謝謝蘆洲慢跑社！

The first cool weather race this season! After the gun, 6 of us were in the leading pack. it was nice to run after the leading bike. The pack blocked the headwind nicely for me.

Around 5k, 沈清豪 started to push the pace. I followed. We two ran together, switching the lead back and forth. It was a great fun to run with a friend. With the tailwind, I started pushing, and soon left him. I enjoyed running with the lead bike for several kms. I thought I might be able to win this race. Then around 10km, all of the sudden, a young runner came from behind and passed me. I was wondering if I should run with him or not. If I want to win, I need to stay with him. But his pace was faster than mine. What should I do!? In the end, I decided to let him go. It was still in the middle of the race. Not a good time to gamble. But alas there goes my victory.

But it turned out this decision was right. I pushed hard for the last 2km. I could not even see his back. He was 2min ahead in the end. If I followed I would have died. Afterall, I finished overall 2nd. I liked the shining trophy. This race was very well organized, perhaps because runners were organizing. 謝謝蘆竹慢跑社!
