Hello! This is Shunya Iwakami.
About the first marathon event I participated in! !
Are you interested in running a marathon? LOL I know a few people around me who are doing it, and I love exercising, so I kind of thought that someday I’d like to run a full marathon or something.lol
At that time, I was invited by my hair and makeup artist Nobukiyo to participate in an event called TOKYO ROKUTAI FES 2023!
In the event I participated in, the rules were for teams to run in a relay format around a 1.6 km course for 6 hours. For those who don’t know much about marathons, there are events with these rules! I’m feeling.lol
Since it was a team race, I thought I’d have some leeway, but when I ran it, it was extremely tough and I was almost exhausted after the first lap.lol
Since the lap times were displayed in real time, I couldn’t relax, and since I don’t like to lose, I pushed myself really hard.lol
I haven’t been able to practice much, but I think I was able to run better than I expected. Above all, this event was a team effort, which was really fun and exciting, and when the last runner crossed the finish line, I felt a sense of accomplishment and excitement, and it was the best!
This was my first time participating in a marathon event, and I truly thought it was a great event, and I’m definitely looking forward to participating in it again in the future! Also, I would like to participate in a full marathon event in the next few years, so I would like to report again!
That’s it for this time, then!
