100k again

I am not a walker this year but when I was waiting at CP4, looking up to Hakone skyline, seeing the headlamps of walkers like blinking stars falling from the top of the mountain into the dark, I understood why people said this trail is dangerous.

I didn't think I was in danger when I was walking last year, since I couldn't see a thing.

As one of the members in the support crew, this year I understand more about the meaning of self sacrifice. I felt exhausted but happy, even I had to run between the checkpoint and cottage, offered all kinds of help to those walkers throughout the night.

I saw real stars blinking on top of my head when I left the dark jungle at 3am.
