Tough day at the office!
Tsuwabuki Half-Marathon in Nichinan.
Conditions were perfect with a clear blue sky and pleasant temperature. Almost too hot towards the end in fact.
My goal was : 44’+45’ for 10km x 2 and one last km with all I have. It turned into 44’ + on time until 13rd km and then survival mode. I don’t really understand as I felt easy during the first 10km but suddenly again like last year in Aya nothing in the tank anymore for the last third of the race. I have to revise my nutrition the days before and during the race because that doesn’t work. At all.
Only positive point apart from 1st part is that I did not give up. And I could maintain somehow a pace that is easy usually but I had to battle for it. I sprinted the last km... in 4:56. Lol. I crashed passed the finish line and took me 10min. to be able to sit and stand-up.
Final result 1:40, 5 minutes more than my goal... grr.
Tomorrow I am turning 45 y.o and I still have hope I will improve. Is it denial?
But I really want to complete a half-marathon running fully at what I should be able to. Time is not really important but I just want to have the satisfaction to produce an effort as planned. So I will try again.
To finish with, big thank to @canae_nakayama 's team for the support!

Running encounter. Weed was cut on the banks of the river recently and this snake is probably confused about its living environment changing suddenly.

My usual run from home. To the sports park and back. Fun thing : thanks to the rain season the track field was covered with mushrooms!

Trail running today in Inohae valley. Perfect weather we have here when rain season takes a break.
I have a thought for my friends of Le Havre who are organizing the Le Havre Urban Trail races this week-end. Bon courage les gars/filles !

Last race of the year : 10k Aotai in #Miyazaki. That’s basically my usual training course.
I finished in 41:05, about 15 seconds slower than last year but there was 2k with a good head wind this time.
Finished 13th/1000 + runners (level is low) and 2nd/100+ in the 40-50 y.o group! (Better than last year)
I ran most of the course alone which is tough too. I wish could get closer to 40’ but I am happy with this result.

Today’s effort report : Aya half-marathon. Sunshiny day and quite warm still!
Great event with thousands of runners. My goal was to finish as close as possible of 1:30 but only managed 1:39. I was a zombie runner the last 5k. A bit disappointed but well... 62nd/439 in the 40-50y.o group.
Next is Miyazaki OD Triathlon mid-November. A bit more my thing.

My 3 minutes of fame on Miyazaki TV (I guess), just after the finish line, my brain was lacking oxygen so I probably answered a question that was not asked 😅
I was running with @surfcity_miyazaki team but was sporting the Havre A.C Triathlon jersey! Le Hac Tri on Japanese TV : ✔️ #running #race #triathlontraining #triathlonlife

This morning I participated to the Yonago-Tottori city ekiden with the Hokuei town B team. I ran my relay (the 1st of the 2 days race) of 9.7km in 38:48 so exactly 4'/km. Not too bad for me but I finished 49/51! Ouch! Many (very) fast runners. At the end of the day my team is ranking 44 :-) #race #running #ekiden
