I took the date of the autumn equinox, one of the 24 Chinese solar terms this year (2022), as my race number (0923). I set up the start and finish line on a park road at a distance of 3 metres, depending on the wind direction and speed of the day. The start of my race with the falling leaves was timed to the arrival of a gust of wind. In the process, I was more sensitive to the wind than I usually am. I tried to use a ridiculous sprint race to reinforce the presence of the mundane in my life.
