I really enjoyed reading about the race that Peter participated in. It is something he enjoys doing and he didn't let the thoughts of what others may think stop him from running. I felt very intrigued by how he describes the set up of the race and the deadly cliffs they run beside. He says " that's when the race becomes a chase- one man against the rest of the field- and I've always felt that this is the loneliest feeling in the world.", this part really caught my eye. The way he describes the whole race and the way he feels along with the very vivid imagery about the beginning of the race is very captivating to me. I loved how he won the race and didn't even second guess if he should of slacked off and let someone else win; he was in it to win it and his mind set is very relatable to mine in the sense of going hard and trying your best. He was so happy and in his zone as he was getting closer to the finish; he wasn't a "waiguoren" in his eyes everyone else who was so far behind was out of place to him. Peter enjoyed to know that he was able to show up the others even though it was for a celebration of the Chinese.
