I set off at 6am in the rain.
19km from Hengchun to the southernmost point, with a strong tailwind all the way there.
The rain stopped by the time I reached the southernmost point, but then a strong headwind hit.
I couldn't move forward. I needed more than twice the usual leg strength.
Today, I was given some treats again, met a Taiwanese couple who are birdwatching enthusiasts, and when I asked a woman at a grocery store about lodging, she introduced me to a temple... I had many happy encounters.
The second half of the run had a moderate amount of ups and downs, and at 3:30pm, after running 36.9km, I finished at a temple in Manzhou. I ended up staying the night there.
*Today's Distance: 36.9km
Total Distance from Taoyuan: 459.4km
