Martin Pratt (second left), 39, is managing director of the French engineering company Bachy Soletanche. Pratt, from England, ran in the Trailwalker event with three French colleagues - including one who flew from Paris especially - in one of the company's three teams. They planned to finish the MacLehose Trail in 20 hours and raise $100,000 for Oxfam.
Where are you most likely to be at 10am on a Sunday? Usually at Kai Tak, near King's Park, watching my two older sons, Chris, 10, and Nicholas, eight, playing mini rugby. It's a family outing for the two players and four spectators: my wife, my two younger sons, Oliver, three, and William, one, and me. It is sometimes difficult for me to attend because of business trips or training for the Trailwalker.
Where are you most likely to be at 10pm on a Friday? Trying to relax at home, especially when I have to wake up at 4am next day. On Saturdays before the race my colleagues and I practised on the trail early in the mornings and went to work later. At the beginning of summer we ran for three to four hours, building up to 10 to 11 hours.
Where do you live? Ta Ku Ling, Clearwater Bay. We lived in Kowloon Tong before but moved four years ago because we needed extra bedrooms for extra kids and more space for them to play. It has good views - which I can't see when I go home at night on weekdays - and is a relaxing environment at weekends.
Where do you go to escape in Hong Kong? Home, and the Kowloon Cricket Club in Tsim Sha Tsui, where I play squash and lawn bowls. I also enjoy playing golf. Before I came here in 1994 I lived in a house on a golf course in England and could play whenever I wanted; now I get to play only a few times a year - whenever I'm invited. Walking on the Maclehose Trail is also one of my favourite escapes.
Whom in Hong Kong do you most admire? Nobody in particular, although I admire the way everyone is business-minded. In Hong Kong everyone seems to be a businessman. The people are also very optimistic: just look at the high-risk things they invest in. If it isn't stupidity it must be optimism.
