10k in Hungen/15k in Nidda (Germany)

Last Sunday I ran 10k in a small town near my hometown and easily won my age-group (by more than 3min). So, I completed the feat of winning all 10k's in my first year in Germany. Yesterday I ran a 15k, on an easier course, and it was a bit cooler, and placed third in 58:55. Was fastest in my club, followed by a friend who ran a 59:19 PB, too bad we didn't have a third guy for a team, we could have placed top… Continue

小布施ハ-フマラソンObuse Half 2008年七月20日

小布施ハ-フマラソンの経験は本当に楽しかったです。大会で暑くて南蛮連合人達頑張りました、汗が多かった。皆さん、おめでとう、お疲れ様でした。レ-スコ-スで色々所で音楽を聞きながら走りました。その上コ-スで沢山飲み物がありました。レ-スが終わった後、果物が沢山ありました。例えば、西瓜、桃、バナナ、オレンジ、グレ-プフルツ、さらにきゅうり。レ-ス日の晩、旅館で、皆一緒に食事しました。その時サ-ビスがよかったです。旅館近くに露天風呂があるし、きれいな川もあるしそれに山の景色が美しかったです。

ところで、私のレ-スタイムは一時間二十一分三十五秒、二十七位。走る大好きです。まみとギャリ-作った計画(けいかく)はよかったです。皆からありがとうございます。慈利。The Obuse Half Marathon was a very enjoyable experience。

At the event it was hot but Nambanners all gave great efforts。There was plenty sweat。Everyone, well done!… Continue

10k in Hausen/Germany

It was a hot day in Hesse State, with up to 32 degrees, and thunderstorms. As most of my friends know, I hate getting up early and run badly if races start to early, but in this heat, an 8:50am start is unavoidable.

I ran a steady sub4min pace, following a guy I thought to be in my age-group. I passed him when we entered the stadium, ran a 3:43 last k. Turned out he was 60! Well, by passing him I ended up the fastest guy over 45 in a race more… Continue

10k in Oberursel/Germany

As many of you know, this was my first race in a new age-group. I had talked to my stongest opponent before the race, his name is Michael, we warmed up together, then went to the start. I followed the leaders, he stayed back, following my usual strategy. The first two k's were downhill, but with a few sharp turns, then a long climb started. Michael and one more guy passed me, and I thought I was never going to catch up with them. Shoot, stupid me had… Continue

青梅の山練習 Ome mountain practice 2008年7月6日

昨日(2008年七月六)南蛮連合人達は青梅へ行きました。Yesterday namban people went to Ome。

その日本当の日本夏でした。On this day it was the real Japan summer。

青梅で木が少なくなかったから青梅は東京より涼しかったです。

At Ome there are many trees so it was cooler than Tokyo。

皆さんはよく走った、青梅景色がきれいだしトレーオルも面白いしそれに自然が沢山あります。

Everyone ran well。Ome's scenery is pretty, trails interesting and there is plenty of nature around。練習終わったら健康センターへ行った、本当に気持かったです。After practice we went to a health center, it was very relaxing。そしておいしい日本理科食べた。We

Muskoka Long Course Triathlon, June 2008

Neither a marathon, nor an event that took place in Japan, but oh well...



The Muskoka Triathlon is actually quite an historical event, having debuted in 1992 as the site of the Long Course World Championships won by triathlete legend Simon Lessing. The event was put on back then by Graham Fraser,organizer of all the major Ironman races in North America, and continues to be run now by his brother Mitch. The course is a 2km swim in a lake and up a river, followed by 55km of (seemingly)… Continue

Gasubashi 8k

Today, Admiral Paddy in his black suit opened the ports of glory in a way reminiscent of the glory days of the Tokyo Irish Harriers, days that are not mine to remember, as they were before my time with the club, but have been well preserved in the myth of Namban history. Paddy placed 5th in the 30's in 29:50, unexpectedly joined by Frank Mehl, who had kept his participation a secret, but finished in a respectable 32:55 for 14th.

Yours truly… Continue

Kamakura Trails

Today a considerable group of Nambanners ran the trails around Kamakura. As usual, it started at leisurely pace with a lot of sightseeing, but in the end a group of runners including Kiyo, Paddy, Jay, Joachim and myself picked up the pace.

The main organiser this time was Satohi, assisted by Kamakura veteran Jay and local Joachim, and they managed to find an onsen as well as a restaurant with a nice sea-view. Great job!

Only disadvantage, it… Continue

Ugghh

3 weeks ago, I decided that I was going to run my own personal half-marathon. Whoops.



It seems that something on the top of my foot went "pop" while I was at the 12KM mark (just crossing the bridge at Futako-Tamagawa). I somehow made it home to Ikegami but at a severely hampered pace (6:00/KM). I took a week off and things felt good. I went running again and-"ta-dah"-the pain is back. It doesn't hurt if I run with my shoe on loosely but the minute I really strap the right shoe… Continue

Oxfam Japan Trailwalker 100Km

The gun went off at 09:00 on 16May but we knew this would have been a long journey before reaching the finish line and an unusual race. In fact it does not really fit the terms of "race" as there is no individual time because each Team of 4 participants has to register together at each of the 8 checkpoints.



It took our Team 23 hours and 25 minutes to complete the 100Km with the satisfaction to finish within 24 hours and placing 8th over about 220 Teams.



The Trailwalker… Continue

Kintaro Marathon/Kanagawa (10/15k)

In this charming little countryside event not far from Shin-Matsuda Station, they give certificates or trophies to the first eight of each age-group which was a big advantage for the Namban Ladies. 18 runners in the women's 20's versus 170 in the men's 40's in the 15k. But I had been in bed until the day before the race, trying to get over a bad cold, so my 1:00:03 finish was more than I hoped for.

Rie won the women's 10k (over-all!!) in 42:10,… Continue

Mississauga 5km race, May 10, 2008

I arrived back in Canada late Thursday, and I thought what better way to shock my body than to run a 5km race. Most major cities in Canada have some sort of "marathon weekend", and this weekend was the Mississauga Marathon. 5km and 10km races were held Saturday evening, and 1/2 marathon and marathon events went off on Sunday morning. Total participation for this race weekend was ~10,000. (The 5km race had 1005 participants).



The 5km course was totally flat. The first 2km was road… Continue

Saku 10k (Nagano)

While most Namban stayed in Tokyo to run Inagi or Tell, we risked a longer trip to Nagano to run the 10k in Saku. A nice place, friendly people, but the heat and probably the altitude (700m) slowed me down to a 40:33 for 10k.

I have to complain about one thing: An Ojisan was conducting a call just before the start, he realised that he was not going to get through his numbers - the 40's were higher numbers, so I was still waiting - so he ran to the starting line to tell another Ojisan to… Continue

Oxfam Trailwalker Japan 100K. We need your donation!

My Company has entered 5 Teams into the 100K Oxfam Trailwalker Japan and I am in one of the Teams.



100K it is not an easy distance and not a distance that normally we would challenge.

Having done part of the Trailwalker course as training we already know that this 100K will not be easy. On top of the distance there are the terrain and the elevation that will make the challenge difficult.

Nevertheless our Team knows there is a just cause to go for it. The physical effort is… Continue

Kamogawa Marathon/Kyoto

Five Nambaners were the core group of the volunteers organising the first Kamogawa Marathon (10k).

Compared to the Tengu Trails in Takao which I started four years ago, much more money went to the NPO which was supposed to benefit from the race, a great success.

Thanks a lot to Chika, Hitomi, Mutsumi and Gerard!



Some results:

Over-all-winner: 33:32

40's: 35:35

50's: 36:31

60's: 42:15
