I can't write this report in Chinese, because I'm still in Tokyo using my son's notebook.
The arrangement of the Tokyo Marathon is quiet good. It's 100% better than HK SCM. Firstly, they divided the runners in different group from A to J according to your registration reported time. The A group is the elite runners, they have bib numbers on both side. the B to J group wil arrange by your expect finished time in your registration. For example, my reported is 4 hr 30 min.,I am in G group. My bib number is G33134. Each group gathered accordingly to the arranged order. There is a lot of staffs working efficiently that made the start in good order.(Unlike the race in China, their start is terrible.)
There is many spectators and the performance of bands, traditional drum shows, cheer leaders can see along the route. A lot of food supply after 22 km for 5 km interval, no need for you to bring your own power jell and power bar.
The weather is windy, strong wind occured in some places amount the tall buildings, especially after 35 km near the sea side. It is raining 2.5 hr after start. By the way, I can see only 1 c-hing, he is opposite to me in 17 km, I was 5 km behind him. We encourage and cheer to each other.
Luckily, I can finished the race in 4 hr 26 min, 2 min. better than I did in HK SCM.
I will come back to HK tonight. See you al l c-hing c-tse on Friday in Happy Valley. |
