Shibuya Ekiden 2012

Today a group of runners ran the annual Shibuya Ekiden in Yoyogi Park. I ran on the Namban Rengo Masters team, having moved up from a position as a substitute, and not feeling very comfortable about it. However, thanks to my teammate's efforts, we finished in 2nd, beaten only by the Shibuya triathletes, and ahead of our nemesis, the Takeshi-and-his-friends-runningclub.

The Namban Ladies finished strong as well, making it to third.

Rikkyo University COR had three teams, with soon-to-leave Yokota-kun breaking the magical 10-minutes barrier!

Thanks to Mika-san for an enjoyable day!
