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.

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.

Kaii Higashiyama: A Retrospective

I went to Higashiyama's exhibition after work on 15th May.
When I was a student,I went to his museum in Nagano twice,so I was going to memorize his works of art.But there were too many works of art that I have never seen.In addition to ,there were so many people in the exhibition and it was difficult to look his works without people's heads in my sight.
Anyway,His art is wonderful and it reminds me of nature. I didn't have enough time to look everything, so I should have gone there before .I regret that I went at the last minute.

According to website,it will be held again on July in Nagano.
I hope to go again when I go to my hometown.

Big Basin Redwood Trail Run Report

It was held on 27th April.I got up 5:30,and left the Lodge in saratoga about 7:00 with my friend I met at mixi.We reached the park with no problem,but it took more time to park because all runner came here by their cars.In addtion to,it was 10mins before starting when we registered.It was the first time that I started to run without warming and stretching.
Most runners run same course at first so it was so crowed.While I was running,I noticed to have no idea what I should say by English when I wanted to go past someone.So I followed the faster runner to go past someone when I wanted to go past. (After the race,my boyfrind told me "On your left")

Suddenly fall appeared in front of me! it was so beautiful,I couldn't stop taking pictures.
