It's too bad...

These several years, I tried Triathlon races.
This year, I already joined two races, The 2nd Muroto Geopark Triathlon
, and LIXIL Ironman 70.3 Centrair Chita Peninsula Japan.

Muroto Geopark Triathlon is a Olympic distance race, which consist of 1.5km swimming, 40km cycling, and 10km running, totally 51.5km distance.
Especially, the characteristics of this race is extreme bike course. Precipitous geography of Muroto peninsula make this bike course very exciting.
I could complete the whole course, but I was very tired.
I suggest you this race, if you want to try more hard course, especially in bike section.

Ironman 70.3 Japan is a Middle distance race, which consist of 1.9km swimming, 90km cycling and 21.1km running, totally 113.1km (70.3 miles) course.
Ironman is a special brand in triathlon race. Real Ironman race is totally 225km (140.619miles), however, there are no real Ironman race in Japan. Ironman 70.3 Japan is the only one race with Ironman brand in Japan.
The distance was longer than OD, and Ironman is not only the race, but also the event for local communities.
It is very exciting and I had a good time. Of course, I could complete the whole course.

This year, I will try one more middle distance race in Sadogashima.
Next year, I want to try long distance race.
