It was a lovely race last Sunday. Weather was good and tracca was also beautiful(I often do jogging on that road). Anyway it was much fun to meet with club-members on races(Sorry not to remember each. It is difficult for me to remember immediately). Size of race is ideal, because it is very crowded in each race in Japan. In every marathon race around Tokyo more than 5000 runners join. It takes several minutes to pass start-line and in first 5km small crash often happenes(but I can keep proper and not quick pace due to crowds). In addition, it is amazing I can recieve many photos in each race free of charge! Thank you so much, Taurus.
So far I do training for 3 months for preparing to each marathon. But this is first time to join marathon race after one month training. So result was satisfying. Especially I was happy that my Japanese colleague completed first marathon.
I would like to join road races in Russia as much as possible this year.
