Japan!

So i got selected to go to Japan on a tour called the 'young Guns'.

There are two races, Gamagori and Shitchigohama.

I raced in gamagori and although posting an ok time i wasn' happy with the race. I started off with a bad swim, getting dropped and missing the bike pack. It was all over from there where i lacked motivation to chase down the leaders and i was lacking race fitness after not racing properly for quite a while because of my shingles.

The next race is tomorrow and after 2 weeks of more intense training and the previous race i'm ready to give it another crack. There are 20 girls in the race, mainly from japan but 1 other auzzie, a girl from gret britan and another from Korea.

the course should suit me alot better with a few strength climbs in it and an ocean swim.

Lets see if i can let her rip and kick some japanese ass.
