It's been a week since the rush run. I have run various marathons and have already completed more than 20 races, but every time I run the Tokyo Marathon feels like a special tournament. It was my third participation this time, but when will the next time? I want to go over the hard lottery before that run, and run again.
I would like to make some reports on the topic of discussion.

Before the tournament, I have to go to Tokyo Big Sight to get a bib, and it has been decided that the venue will be fun with a festive atmosphere. I visited on Friday night. There are many booths such as manufacturers of sports equipment and supplements related to marathons, and most marathon contestants are busy preparing to the end, but in fact, various organizations are coming and those booths are also interesting .
Meanwhile, our Chuo-ku Tourism Association was also on display.
When I asked for a greeting, the Skanda hand towel of Daikanonji, which I prayed before, was sold. You're always good at grabbing your heart. I pledged a good weekend for one.

On the day, it did not rain and started in front of Shinjuku Tokyo Metropolitan Government at 9:10 in a just right climate. The first half is an easy course with many descents. After that, there are many flats, so the course layout is easy overall. It is said that Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge in Chuo-ku is the toughest, so there are no hills or mountains and it is actually an easy course. Yes, it's easy to run. In the first half, if you cross the guard of Yurakucho, it ends half. Up to this point, it was good to take 1 hour and 35 minutes, but it feels a little over pace. At that time, I decided in my heart that "If you still enjoy Tokyo, if you crush it, that's fine, I'll do my best."
When I headed from Ginza to Asakusa in the first Chuo-ku section, I was in good shape, but when I headed from Asakusa to Ginza, my feet stopped around Kayabacho. It's sometimes something, but I'm sorry. You have to practice more and more.
The goal is to change quickly. It's important to go to the goal without giving up even if it's a slow pace. In the gorgeous glamorous situation of Ginza, my heart was about to break, but I remembered the happiness of running in this city and proceeded without losing.

I managed to get to Tokyo Big Sight. 3 hours and 24 minutes. Yeah. It can be said that it is not bad, but the result is tough compared to the previous Tokyo Marathon. Except for my feet stuck, my feet were solid after running, so it was a good run. If you cross muscle pain with this, you will surely be a runner on one sheet. There was a strong desire to run better at the Tokyo Marathon in the next race or in the future.
A non-alcoholic beer and a celebration. To myself who ran safely.
I want to run like a fly next time! I couldn't get to Skanda this time.
