The time has come!
I woke up at 3 a.m. and got 30 minutes walk to the venue.
I went so early that 1.5 hours free time was remaining before the race.
At 6:13 a.m., I and other athletes of the same age as me started and rushed into the water!
The sea was a little bit cold but didn't annoy me. On the other hand, the water wasn't so clear, so I got lost many times and it result in a few minutes time loss.
However, I could finish swimming about 32 minutes that I thought it was success.
After struggling to take off my wet suits for a couple of minutes
, I started biking. The cource was almost flat and the road wasn't dirty. I went at a moderate pace 31-32km/h and many athletes passed me at much higher speed. The meter showed 37km or so, the bike part finished on 1hr15min.
At that time I felt exhausted, however when I start running more energy has created.
I passed a lot of competitors that passed me on the bike part. The last part of the run course, which was along the beach, was terribly hard, but finally I got it! The result was 2hr30min.
I was very happy that my mother, sister-in-law, and my nieces cheered for me near the goal gate. They've been waiting for me for about an hour!
After the race, we enjoyed free drink and various fruits.
