Sakura Marathon


I participated in Sakura marathon in Chiba Pref.
It was cloudy, not so windy and moderate humid. To sum up, it was the best day for marathon!!
I wish this is the first and last full marathon that I participate in, so my target is under three hours (subthree).
The result was 3:02:07!!! I felt so much mortification. I couldn't regretted more than this.

But this was my own result and I felt my limit in the race (especially at 38km point). So I have to train harder than before and in the next year I will be back in the full-marathon race!

Of course, my main races are trail ran races.


I regretted the result but anyway I can feel satisfaction and relief after every races.


In the latter half of the race I was imaging that I could drink a plenty of beer after the race. This is one of the most favorite beer, Heart Land Beer.!
