"Some like it hot" or: 25.5km in 2:16



Was really warm today! Satohi (thanks again for perfect organization!), Mary, Arnaud, Colin and I started at 9am in front of Kichijoji station and ran ca. 7km to Koganei Park. Well, I didn't run ;-) I rode Satohis bike. Lucky me, I should say because it was already a little warm. In the park we met Christiane and Bob. He showed us around. Thanks, Bob, for your kind appearance! Then, all of us except for Colin (2laps) and Christiane (3laps) ran 5 laps, each ca. 5.25k. Most of us tried to cover 5min pace or even faster. Man, the Sun came out and I felt really lucky again that I hadn't to run Marathon pace...! Everybody was pushing towards the end and we finished really exhausted. Colin had to run back home, he ran a brutal total of 37km today. He must have been dehydrated by all means! We others went to a nearby Sento and had a good Soba/Ramen lunch.
