Click to enlarge photo.The Laos Elephants are pleased to announce that the Vientiane Hot Lap has now been added to an emerging list of hot laps around the world, paying tribute to the late, great, Nick Green.
‘Nick Green would not have been out of place in a pink jumper, drinking a 3 litre beer tower at BPY, so the mighty phants will pull on the pink jumpers and hit the streets of Vientiane' said Coach Hunter.
Hunter had a number of hot laps to choose from, but in the end went with the 3.2km course prepared by Andrew Williamson; Strength, Conditioning and Fitness Coach ‘In the end, we are a family club and I thought it would be inappropriate to end the hot lap at Don Chan Palace'.
The races commences at the ‘famous' Nam Phou Fountain and heads down past the Presidents house, hangs a left on Lane Xang where runners will head towards the beautiful Arc De Triomphe or as the plaque states ‘From a closer distance it seems even less impressive, like a monster of concrete‘, , hang another left past the buzz of the Morning Market as the vendors set up for another day of haggling , veer right, then a hard left along past Settha Palace to the National Stadium entrance, 1.5laps of stadium then exit at the opposite entrance, straight down to the mighty Mekong River, another left at Kong then back up to Nam Phou fountain.

Coach backed either defender Adam ‘Snakes' Kaminski or midfielder Wil to take out the hot lap ‘Both those blokes are in really good shape and I would expect them to be right up there'.
The coach would not be drawn on any recent off field misdemeanors or his physical condition leading up to the hot lap ‘Look I'm in no worse shape than I was this time last year at princess park'.
