Banana says We had much rain during tour de okinawa. Though not a good result, I enjoyed so much after the race.

Banana says This is the first time I joined Ekiden race. The course I ran was the same course as TokyoEnduro. Not so hot, nor cold, the day was good condition for runnning. In the temporary shop I bought Nike Air Zoom Katana at less than half of the price!

Banana says The 100Km round trip course was the largest MTB circuit in japan and satisfied me. I'm certain to finish in the same time even when the weather is badly heated. Anyway, my MTB has been severely damaged.

Banana says This is the second challenge to Mt. Fuji. Last year I had to quit climbing at 3350m point owing to the time limitation of 4 hour and half. I passed the same point more than 1 hour ahead! No severe training, nor serious run. Just lost weight 7 Kg in a year.

Banana says Owing to the rain fallen yesterday, the condition was so slippy. Many riders were slipped and jumped into outside the course. The extended 100m was badly path. We fetch our bike and run down the hill and crawl up to the hill.

Mamezo retired only one hour ride; his seat post had broken...

Banana says Since it rains only at the time of me also at the midst of running, and the commendation ceremony, they call me RainMan. Since it did not think that it went into ranking by no means, it almost returned. The cause of victory will employ the failure in March efficiently as teachings.　

Banana says This is the first time i applied a MTB race. Slippy course and the continuous falling rain made me nervous. I will get some prize next race (when the course is dry ;)

Banana says Large amount of water (4.5 little) helped me from accident. During the race, the speedmeter failed to count the distance. At the last 5 laps, i found a rattle from the rear wheel... the tyre was nearly bursting because of the exessive air pressure.

Indeed I enjoyed the race!

Banana says --- So cold day. This race was the first one in more than ten years. There are trouble of bottle, and QuickRelease which forced to halt in the midst of the race.. The official results are here.

Mamezo says --- Management is nice. Entirely different from Other races. The results are here.
