How are you? it was great day yesterday my gladmom was 98years old birthday party and I did MTB race in Japan
it was fun and great experience and more friends!!!
485people joined my distance 42K and 890 for 100K and 70 for 120K
It was funny because I have no idea how race look like,,,,,,, that made me relax and NOt nervours( just only one beer the day before night)
and also I have no idea about how course look like,,,,,,,that made my race always 80%
the race start was 7am I went to the start point 6;15 and already long line!!
I heard the first rider came to start point to get front line was 5AM!!!!!I just wake up 5am!
only 5people can line for side and long line!!it took 3mins to pass start line after start!!!
start point 985M to up to 1620M. the first 15K was just up hills I took around a hour with ROCKY!.
the course was super rocky include big rock and small. I was dezzy and tired jumping jumping!!
I felt good up hills not too steep just long and ROCK but also viwe was beutiful!!!!! 360 just mountains. the aid station for water was just sign said* Natural water here*
so, you just full up you water from river or water fall your self!
do nto worry warter there is so good and you also can buy their water at shop!
My plan was just save energy for last big hills but i don`know where is last hills.
I asked some people how far more and they said around 15K. but start dwon hills around 30K point.
I just started think` we start dowm and goal is low,,,,,,,,,this is it?`
I was right! already star dwon hill to go goal.
last 2K was flat and I start push hard because I missed where I pushed!
finished 1st female and 16th for overall.
it was fun. and I might do 120K next year maybe??!!
my glad mom is hangover this morning!!have you seen 98 years hangover??she is my GLANDMOM!
Thanks for cheer all ways!
