Tokyo Marathon, no. 24 and World Major no.5 is done. Yeah!
It was a tough race. Conditions were warm and lots of sun. I did not love the course โ to be honest โ but the volunteers were amazing. Course was quite crowded for the duration, too. (And many out and backs that messed with your mind!) ๐
Ran 4:25:28 (4:20 is a BQ) - with second half about 90โ slower despite stomach cramps in the last 10K. I was glad to be done!! Almost cried at the finish. ๐คฃ
But had chance to celebrate with my new friends after, and even got โinterviewedโ at a little soirรฉe. ๐
Now in Kyoto so rest assured more pix to come regarding that. ๐
