Isaac So Wins a Free Trip to France
Isaac So won herself an all expenses paid trip to France at the Putrajaya 12-hour race in Malaysia Saturday night. She covered 82K racewalking between 8PM Saturday and 8AM Sunday. The trip wasn't actually one of the prizes, but she was beaten by a well-known international walker Kora Bouffilert (94K), whose coach invited Isaac for a return match at the Rouen 24-hour in June. Even the air ticket is supplied, although Isaac will have to take Air France with all that wine, cheese, suave Frenchmen, etc.
There was also a prize for the first to 50K, where Billie Kwok managed to keep her nose in front of Isaac (6:55), but Billie then had to quit to get back to Hong Kong for work on Monday. Ken Cheung did likewise, taking second prize in his first 50K (5:30).
Sue Wong, Ho man Ho and K.K. Wong also finished the 12 hours, though out of the money. Bouffilert collected about HK$7500 in prize money. Billie and Ken each won $1500. Isaac brought home $3000, plus her invitation to France.

Re: Isaac So Wins a Free Trip to France
Bill, all these news are very enticing. My knees are hurting just reading them. Does that mean I should take heed and switch to racewalking? :P
Re: Sore knees
Racewalking is an excellent alternative for anyone who's developed sore knees or a bad back from too much running. Everyone was worn out after the 12-hour race Saturday night, but no-one had sore knees.

Re: Isaac So Wins a Free Trip to France
I wonder if it will happen one day that I win a trip to France,
It's a dream to me to see France, stay in those Small Luxury Hotels in Paris , see the Eiffel tower, Paris at night & do lots of shopping.
It will be an unforgettable memory.
Re: Isaac So Wins a Free Trip to France
Your comments about France are really heart warming!
I hope the experience will be truly memorable and that the Parisians will be nice and welcoming for a change.
Bonne chance!
