HIV/AIDS Run in Kampong Som, Kampuchea

The sign above announces the Doulos Run, and also shows a bit of the quayside.
Below is Alan with Daniel Chae (Korea) the ship director, just before the race began.
AND THEY'RE OFF!!!!!!!!
Well, some of us were off, but not so fast!! Jan, far left.

That is a tuktuk behind Alan. It's the most common form of transportation. It's a motorcycle with a 6-seater carriage behind it.

There were water stops about every mile along the way. Notice Alan soaking wet shirt!
OH, OH, Uphill. . .


Well, neither of us won any medals, but Alan ran the 10 KM in 1 hour, and came in #20, out of about 120. Not bad for being old enough to be most of the runners father (or EVEN GRANDFATHER!). It took us walkers about 1 hour, 40 minutes, but we had an awfully good time!!! And WE oldest ones weren't the last ones! Some younger ones even finished in the van!
PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR FIRST CAMBODIA POST!

Nice job, Dad.

Question: Why did some of the "Douloids" have pen-and-ink beards?
