トラブルシューティング

2008-05-31 12:32:05 | Weblog
いまこの日記を書いているノートPC。
昨晩立ち上げたら、「ヴワーーン」という激しい轟き
ファンエラーと表示されたのでPCをひっくり返してみたら排気口にホコリがモコモコと。。
真夜中に徐に掃除機片手に対処したのですが、きょうもHDDがウィンウィン唸っています。
IEやOutlookのレスポンスも激しく遅いし、思い切って新しいの買っちゃおうかな・・と言いつつ、OSから再インストールをやってみようと思います

駅伝走ってきました

2008-05-25 18:38:45 | Weblog

駅伝で5km走ってきました。
あいにくの雨でびしょぬれ、そこかしこにできた大きな水溜りで泥だらけ。
すっかりテンション下がるとこだったのですが、後半猛追して最後の最後で猫ひろしを抜き去ったときはかなりヒートアップしてました


自分が走った後、雨は収まりました…

いまどきのジョギングブームを象徴してるのか、若者、それも女性の参加が多かったように思います。おしゃれなランニングウェアを着ているランナーが、目立ちました。

Looking back Hawaii

2008-05-21 21:28:06 | Weblog
I just went back to Japan.
It was a pity that I didn't have much time to spend staying in Hawaii.
However, I could see some wonderful scenery and feel warm hospitality.
Hawaiian people are all kind, especially for elders and kids. It can be seen that there are a lot of families with their child on the stroller.

I have some sites where I'd like to visit again.
but Hawaii is the first place that I stay during the long period.
With dreaming the future when I spend a slow life in Hawaii, I'm going back to my job..

STAY IN WAIKIKI

2008-05-21 21:12:02 | Weblog


Relaxed at the condominium.
From here, we can see DiamondHead behind the building over there.

After the triathlon race, I was taken to the park by my 3-year-old niece. We played hide-and-seek.


She's quite active and powerful, so I couldn't follow her any more.

After that, we walked to the beach with sister-in-law.
We enjoyed floating on the sea and playing the waves.


Fantastic sunset! But, that was only for a moment.


There was a Hula event near the beach. I was attracted to the slow, relaxing dance for a little while, whereas my niece completely fell asleep.

The next day, we went shopping in WAIKIKI.
There were too many shops in WAIKIKI area to explore all of them.



Well, I'll store the pleasure until the next visit.

Instantly, I'll have to leave Hawaii.
Early morning on Tuesday, I was waiting for the bus to the airport.
I felt really sad and missed Hawaii. but.. see you soon and mahalo!

HONOLULU TRIATHLON

2008-05-18 15:49:39 | Weblog
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.

THE PREVIOUS DAY OF THE RACE

2008-05-17 20:58:26 | Weblog
I've arrived at Honolulu Airport on Saturday morning.
I felt relief when no cracks and damages were found on my bike.


On the way to WAIKIKI, much traffics and bunpy bike roads made me nervous.


Great Scenery! But I was shocked that I found no roads led to WAIKIKI. I've only to backtrack some kilometers.

After trial and tribulations, I could get to the condominium where my mother, sister-in-law, and lovely 2 nieces were staying.
Soon after I arrived there, I played a lot with my 3 year old niece. Once She saw me, she got much excited and lost her composure.

To prepare tomorrow's race, soon after we took dinner, I went to bed.

柳沢越え(2008年2回目)

2008-05-07 01:24:51 | Weblog
今年2回目の柳沢です。
2日前の道志ロングライドの疲れや、昨日の飲み疲れをもろともせず、きょうも峠目指して走ります。


きょうはKわちさんが柳沢初参戦。この先どんな苦難が待ち受けているやら・・


坂道を、ゆっくりだけど確実に前に進んでいきます


こんなにキレイな湖だっけ?と思えるくらい、きょうの奥多摩湖はすばらしかったです。


木々の緑が青空に映えて美しい。のですがあんまり見てる余裕はなく。。


でも無事にたどりつきました!
Kわちさん初登頂を、富士山が祝福してくれました。
この時期に富士山がくっきり見えるなんて、すごいラッキーですよ

山を下りた後はいつものとおりで。

連休中、仲間のおかげで充実した日々を送ることができました。

なるしま+3ちゃん

ホノルルトライアスロンに向けて(というほどのことではないですが)自転車に異常がないか見てもらおうということで、自走で千駄ヶ谷へ。
チェーンとクリートを新調して、心機一転です。
雲行きが怪しくなったので、せっかく新調したチェーンをすぐにダメにしないよう、雨に降られないうちに帰宅し、ランシューズに履き替えて3ちゃん食堂まで走りました。・・・まあ走ったのは3kmちょっとで、ゆっくりペースでしたが。
3ちゃんで飲んだ後、へっぽこ邸にて引き続き
遅い時間まで、すみませんでした。というか翌日早起きできるのか・・?
