Splatoon Overfishing(乱獲)
Current Personal Records(Nightless):
I am a Splatoon overfisher. I enjoy the high-intensity challenge and strategic depth of maximizing Golden Egg collections in Salmon Run with my friends. Thanks to God87, MMTX, and SadNo, I achieved the highest Golden Egg collection record in Nightless above.
My in game name is Kanade, which is named after Kanade Tachibana from Angel Beats!. I'm not a big fan of Japnaese anime, but once I was in depression and suicidal in middle school, I occationally watch it and it helped me a lot. To remember the miserable time and not forget the hard period, I named my in game character after her as a mask to excape from the reality, although I never believed in the afterlife.
Long-distance Running
I am a beginner long-distance runner. To be honest, I don't like running at first, I ran only because it's required for the exam when I was in middle school. Out of my expectation, this habit continues as I entered high school. By the end of high school, I could run 1 kilometer in 3 minutes. However, the pandemic made me stop running for a looooong time. I lived a "great life", gained more than 50 pounds to almost 210 pounds.
In early 2025, I decided to change my life and started running again. My running journey began in mid-April 2025. I joined the Wildflower Half Marathon in May 2025. I found it extremely hard, as I had never run more than 15 kilometers before, and I regretted my decision a million times during the race. I was also reluctant to run for quite a few months afterward.
It was not until the end of 2025 that I started to run regularly, because I registered for BCS Half Marathon and Houston Marathon, and I don't want to waste the registration fee. Special thanks to my sister, who bought me the Adidas EVO SL for the Black Friday gifts. The shoe is abosulutely amazing, I ran a 20 km in the early December, it was the first time I've ever run 20km(except the Wildflower Half Marathon earlier this year). It was very close to 2 hours. I was curious to see if I could achive a sub 2 hours in the BCS Half Marathon in less than 2 weeks.
The first road half-marathon was exciting the weather was great, I ran 1:53:17, well under my goal of 2:00:00. This result is very encouraging, and I learned more about long-distance running ever since then.
Like many other Chinese runners, Osako is my favorite runner, who would risk the his career to quit japanese corporate running teams and join Nike Oregon Project to seek a higher level of training. And congratulations to him to break the japanese record in Marathon Valencia 2025. Hakone Ekiden is also fun to watch
My next goal is to get a sub 145 in half marathon in the mid of this year (for Houston Marathon 2027 corral seeding)
