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.

Sad news

I heard sad news and was surprised.
My classmate in high school lost her family by a car accident.I have no contact with her since we gradulated,so I didn't know that she had gotten married and had a family.
I can't do anything for her here.I ask my friend to go there in my place.

sty

I have got a sty in my right eye.so I wear glasses although I always wear contact lenses.
I feel my eyelid heavy a little.

Attack!299

Bike touring called "Attack!299" was held on Augast 2nd.The course is along Route299 and has 4peeks,each peak becomes steeper and steeper.The challengers started from 3AM every 30min.The start time depends on their ability.I helped starting,but I wanted to follow them by my car after everyone started.

Every group rode in a row to encounter less wind resistance.
The course is National Route,but the part of path is so narrow that it seems like two cars can't pass each other at the same time.I was surprised.
When I reached first peak,I was wondering how hard the last peak.
The altitude of the course must be hard for them,but they looked expressive.
That excited me.I drove to the goal with taking their photos.I had a fun.

I want to join the event when I train enough for it.

Running at Mt.Takamizu

I went running to Mt.Takamizu last Saturday with 3UP members.
While I was running ,I saw a japanese serow.
Actually I had never seen it directly,but it wasn't big as bear and it wasn't small as deer.So I think it serow.In addition to it ran across quickly in front of me.

According to one of members,there're many deer in the mountain.He has a experience to meet deer and to run together for a while.Deer wants to escape from man but it couldn't as trail is too narrow.

Running with deer sounds good.Some day I hope to do it.
But I don't want to meet bears.I have to take care.

Tennis game

I was day off in the morning and went to watch the tennis game.
I rarely watch the sports.Why did I watch today?
I have two reasons.First,there's a tennis court is held a big game like internatinal game near my office.Next I have a favorite tennis player,she's Klum Date Kimiko.
She had retired just I'was interested in her.I'm sorry with her retirement.But she came out 0f retirement this year.So I wanted to watch her play strongly.

This time,Date's competiter was a high school student and high-spirited.
I was not sure the reason,but I felt Date was not her pace at first and lost 3games.
But Date kept cool compared that competiter was emotional.
Since Date got her pace back,she hadn't lost the game,finally she won.
While she played,she had never smiled.But her smile was excellent after the game.
The diference makes me enchanted.

The game finished with Date's clear victory.But I think it's a good game as I could see her good pace and opposite pace.

I had a fun.
