In 5 weeks I will have raced a 50k, 100 miler, paced Wasatch 100, and now a 110k. With as little base as I have, its a bit much. My right knee and ankle are sore from a rotated Fibia but other then that I am feeling great and ready to race. I'm hoping to go under 13 hours and place top 20. Takashi, my host, will be crewing me in what looks to be a tough, beautiful, yet runnable 69 mile stroll through the mountains of Japan. I'm aware of 3 Americans who have run this race over the years, including Krissy Moehl. Its become one of the most popular ultra's in Japan and is a UTMB qualifier. I'll report back next week on how it goes....
36 hrs before the race I'm getting as much food as possible...
Squid, cow tongue, octopus, cow tendon, pork intestines, and lots of sushi!!!
Altra ad in Japan!

Thanks for that. Very informative material. I’ve tried looking for this kind of information for a long time and its hard to do that with thousands if not millions of searches on Google. But with luck, I stumbled upon this page. I appreciate the information you’ve put into this.
