東京でのマラソン・陸上・駅伝・・・・・体を鍛えて、環境を守ってエコマラソン
Today, a small group of about six Nambanners ran the Ogawamachi Washi Halfmarathon. It is a really nice race, well organized, with good support by the local community. Furthermore, the start is only 1.5k from my second home, so it is very convenient for me, and for my friends, who are always invited!
Among our small group, I was fastest in 1:25:55, followed by Terry Minegishi about two minutes behind. Mika Tokairin, our only female participant, finished ninth among women, fourth in age-group. I thought I was to slow for a podium finish, I really slowed down from 5k-9k, as it is uphill and against the wind, but some runners I met on the train told me that my time was probably good enough for top-ten! Will find out later!
In the 10k, Taro Obuchi ran a wind-delayed 42min!
Really great race, so it deserves a larger number of Namban participants - put it into your calendar for next year!
And, not to forget, thanks a lot to Kana and Bernd for coming out to support! A great help and inspiration for me!

Good job, Tadgh! How was the course? (Better, write a little independent post about it...)
Juergen, I ran the Kanto 10k near Tomisato this morning. 38:23. Reasoably pleased for my first outing in Japan
Shoot, I knew it...But why don't they find out that I'm German when I talk on the phone!
Accent!!! :-)
Sorry to hear that!! If its a 50 plus age group I would think certainly top 10 with a 1-25.
Maybe you ran up the wrong mountain like Fabrizio.....or maybe something about being a Gaijin!!!
85 minutes....not bad...well done.
Look forward to running some of these races with you in 2011.....PLEASE keep us posted...In Japan if you don`t enter immediately you are able to, you seem to miss out!
