Wednesday AM meditation: - REST Today I had an ART session (first time since I left Japan in May) followed by a deep tissue massage. Both ankles are very stiff and according to Dr. Arai, loosing elasticity, which could cause many other problem so I definitely need to get this fixed after the race this weekend.

Sky View Ultra Trail (60km)

Total Distance: 65km Total Ascent: 3100m Total Time: 8:02:36 Official Result: overall 6th What an awesome day! The race course was diverse with fast road sections, river climbing and a technical ascent to the peak of Mt. Hotaka (2158m) The whole course was near my hometown, but several sections were new to me. Many friends gathered together for this race, so pre and post race spending time with my friends after being away in Europe and US for such a long time, made it a very precious weekend! And pretty satisfied with my result too, although I hadn't felt ready at all.
