10k in Eichen/Germany

Ran my fifth 10k this year, won for the fourth time. It was great to meet my friends one last time, eventough one of them got cheated out of a medal because of a mistake by the organizer. And great BBQ after the event!

10k in Karben/Germany

Ran the fourth 10k this year, managed to win my age-group again, even though this one is near Frankfurt and quite competitive. Placed 11th over-all among about 240 runners in 39:41.

Pic shows my clubmates Helmut (70, second in M70) and Elvira (62).…

10k in Hungen/Langd - Germany

10k in Obertshausen/Germany

Suedbahn Lauf 10k - Birstein, Germany

Today I ran this hilly, but very pleasant 10k in the rural hinterland of Frankfurt. It was a rainy day, and I was lucky not to get too wet on my motorbike on the way to the race. Start was about 40h after my plane touched down at Frankfurt airport, considered a reasonable amount of time for recovery from jet-lag among heavily-travelled Nambaners. Brought my (Asics) Sortie Magic - they looked so cool compared to what the competitors were wearing - and… Continue

Fuji Susono Half - Juergen

I ran a pretty good race, eventhough the time doesn't show it. Placed top-ten, target achieved. Just suffered a bit from the hills and heat, but that had to be expected.

Very positive to note my fast recovery, feel good today, only normal fatigue, no injuries. Also, got over the hard practice without catching a cold, many thanks to Fabrizio for the Echinacea!

The week-end trip was great, it seems everybody had a lot of fun. Pic is in front… Continue

Tell 10k/5k Imperial Palace - Tokyo

Great weather and great prices made sure the turn-out for this race was as expected by the organizers. It's for a good cause, the Tokyo English Lifeline (TELL), and one participant actually managed 130000Yen in donations! Traditionally, many Namban members place in this race, and the Ladies' 10k was won by Yuri Kambara in 38:54. Jason Lawrence prevailed in the Men's 5k in a course record of 15;27.

The winner… Continue

Ikegami Honmonji 10k

A good time was had, while slow times were run... Nanban Rengo broke with tradition by taking this race very easy, I saw two trophies which probably belonged to Gerard and Ed, but over-all, we ran much slower than in previous years, and all had good reasons for it, like Tokyo Marathon and Ome-Takamizu.

Times are just the way I remember them, correct me if I'm too far off:

Gerard - 36:55 Ed - 37:15 - Juergen 39:55 - Frank - 40:10 -… Continue

Ome Takamizu Trail Run (15k, 30k)

Everybody had a great time at this well-organised event. In the 15k, James Midgley beat Teriyuki Minegishi by one second (1:17:10/1:17:11) with yours truly following close behind in 1:18:18. I was not aware that is was running second in age-group, I would have tried harder. James and Terry finished top five as well. Rie Onodera placed fourth among (all) women, congrats, see picture above!

Jay Johanessen finished the longer run (30 or more) in… Continue

Tokyo Marathon 2009

Stuart MacIntosh looking smooth, with Gordon following!

Today, I went to support our runners at the Tokyo International Marathon. I decided not to travel around on the train because I thought it would be too exhausting. I was lucky to be able to watch all Namban Rengo runners at my choosen place near Ginza Station before the rain started, but it must have been quite an ordeal for exhausted runners to run the last 8k in rain and wind!

For… Continue

Namhae 10k/Korea - March 8.

오늘은 친구와 한국의 남부의 마라톤 대회에 참가했습니다.감기에 걸렸으므로, 39:55으로 만족했습니다.정말 즐거운 하루였습니다!OWAIN라고 하는 친구는 37:00으로, 매우 좋은 결과다 했습니다. Today I took part in a 10k race in Namhae in Southern Korea. It was a very enjoyable event, eventhough, a bit confusing as usual. As I had just recovered from a cold, I was happy to just break 40min (39:55).My friend Owain placed 9th in 37:00!

5.2k/Yongsan Base, Seoul, Korea

Today I ran 5.2k on Yongsan Base, it was a beautiful day, and three high-schoolers made the pace for me. I came in first over 20 in this extremely low-key event, good practice for next week in Busan! TIme was 19:36 consistant with what I have run on the track recently.

Kanagawa Half/Juergen

1:25;32, not bad considering my focus on speed more than on mileage, but could have done better. Slowed down on the second half after a decent 39:01 10k. Well, it seems in order to do well in half-marathons, you have to run a few of them, one per year is just not enough. Susono should provide good training, so I hope for an improvement in fall!
皆さん、お疲れ様!
