I won the race


I went to Ohtaki village in Nagano to enter the race MTB and Run.
MTB race was held on last Sunday and Run race was held on last Monday.
The result is decided by time of both races combined.When I finished MTB,I was in third place and the difference between second and I was about 4min.Next day was Run.I didn't feel tired.But I was overtaken by her just since we started. After climbing I ran down quickly and at last I caught up to her and overtook!I pushed hard so I wouldn't be caught again.
I hurried up.And Goal.But I couldn't feel relief till she finished.After all She finished within 4 mins of me.We were not sure which win.
But I was completely satisfied with my result.I had great fun.
Finally I knew the result at the awarding ceremony.I won.
I'm over the moon!

Coffee

I like coffee.I drink some cups of coffee every day.At first,I drink a coffee at breakfast.Coffee at breakfast helps me to wake up and stay awake.Next,I buy a coffee before getting on a train and work with drinking it.
A few years ago,I used to drink much more coffee than I drink now,in addition to I drink even before going to bed.But now it's difficult for me to sleep if I drink it at night.so I don't drink it before going to bed.
I sometimes enjoy coffee from grinding beans.If I have no time,I use grounded beans not instant.I buy them at Starbucks.Of course they're more expensive than them in supermarket.I sometimes want to reward myself for working.And I love breakfast so I'm lavish in spending money for breakfast.
