Tuesday, January 01, 2013. All is quiet on a new year's day. Happy new year, everyone! We just returned to Tokyo from a 2-week holiday in tropical Singapore, which is 1 degree above the equator. As I usually travel to Sing. for business, this was my longest stay, and I took advantage of our luxurious surroundings to get in several swim and run sessions. Here's the summary of my training in Singapore:. Dec 17: 20:05 swim, Sentosa, 1.1k. Dec 18: 23:13 run, track with Arnaud, 5k. Dec 23: 46:16 swim, 2k.

Tuesday, October 08, 2013. Aizu triathlon, the HAT TRICK. You know how everything comes in threes? A, B, C.Crosby, Stills, and Nash, hat tricks, etc. Well, I did the Aizu triathlon in Fukushima this past August for the 3rd time, and got my 3rd PB of the season. I now have PB'd at all 3 distances this year, which took me 5 years to do for the half and full-ironman distances. Swim: 26:39, 50th place Swim was fine, about the same speed as last time. Bike: 1:07:40, 47th place Bike was fine too.

runmotozo: Shimoda homegrown triathlon #2

http://davidmotozo.blogspot.com/2014/10/shimoda-homegrown-triathlon-2.html

Monday, October 06, 2014. Shimoda homegrown triathlon #2. The 2nd Shimoda home-brew triathlon was in September, after a very hot summer which included CP's inaugural Atami triathlon in August. Rumors are flying on a possible unification Izu-series triathlon in the making, so keep your ears to the ground for those exciting developments. We had some newcomers to the mix and returning Izu warriors. Due to excessive photo ops and a slightly larger group, we started 15 minutes late. The course was the sam...

runmotozo: October 2012

Tuesday, October 02, 2012. Yokohama Triathlon, the long and windy road. Swim: 32:24 (267th place). Bike: 1:17:44 (158th place). Run: 47:38 (353rd place). Total: 2:37:57 (204th place out of 924 finishers, 195th place out of 833 men, 43rd out of 181 age groupers). Swim: It was my first triathlon swim in 2 years as the 2 spring races both cancelled the swims. I felt fairly good, but the time was shockingly slow. I couldn't believe that my watch said 15 minutes at the end of the first loop. Good to see Dave ...

Monday, February 24, 2014. One day many moons ago in the 2H of 2013, I decided I wanted to seriously train for Boston marathon qualification, which was 3:25:00 for my age group. Several months and two 30k long runs later, I toed the line at Shinjuku for the 7th time, planning to hum along at 4:50 per k pace. Next stop, paradise city, Miyakojima Strongman!

runmotozo: May 2013

Tuesday, May 14, 2013. 元三はハーフだ。Motozo ha hafu da. Fuji Susono half-marathon. 2009 Fuji Susono barbarian horde. Fuji Susono half-marathon is one of my favorite half-marathons in Japan. Last time I ran it was 2009, I described it as a "hot and hilly scenic detox pressure cooker". This time around it was hot and hazy sans Mt. Fuji view. Given the heat and hills, I was happy with the result, which was actually 1 minute faster than my 2009 race. My splits were:. Total: 1:39:49, 80th in age group. View my comp...

Tuesday, October 07, 2014. Murakami triathlon: season climax and the sea of Japan. Despite the hand injury last month, I had been feeling rather solid as we boarded the shinkansen bound for Niigata, and the final test race of the season, Murakami olympic distance triathlon. I had improved my bike and run times in Shimoda over the summer, crediting several rides down the coast and indoors, a running vacation in Hokkaido in August, as well as better running sessions on the track with the Nanbanners. The 2n...
