I have enjoyed another 100 mile race!
100 MILES THAILAND is the first 100 mile race in Thailand.
Nop-san, Race Director, has arranged this wonderful running race.
61 solo runners and 65 relay runners started at 12pm, NOV6(FRI).
We ran 100 miles, from Chiangrai to Chiangmai, Thailand.
Under the Thailand’s heat, the highest temperature was 34 degree C.
This time, I was running this race, as an invitational runner.
I have got the race bib, NO.1
I really appreciate Nop-san, Race Director, for his very generous invitation.
It has been an honor.
Also, this time, I was running this race, as a VIBRAM RUNNER.
I got VIBRAM FIVE FINGER SHOES & SHIRTS and financial support.
I really appreciate VIBRAM (STAR 360 Thailand), for their very kind sponsorship.
It has been an honor, too.
I could finish this race, in 20 hours 44 minutes, with the overall 3rd place.
I am really satisfied with my performance and result.
Most importantly, we all could run happily, without accident.
I admire all of my friends, who were there!
Let’s keep on going!
P.S.1
This time, I could run very comfortably.
I did not walk.
I did not have pain.
I just focused on my breathing, the indicator of my movement and performance.
“Natural Run” really works!
(“Natural Run” is the running method, using our natural body function, not depending on things.)
P.S.2
I really admire Nop-san, Race Director.
He arranged the 1st 100 mile race in Thailand.
It is alway challenging to do something new.
But, he had a courage to do it, and he made it.
Also, I admire Nop-san’s great team members.
Nop-san and his members took so much effort, without sleeping.
P.S.3
I also appreciate and admire Kirannee-san, who did MC for this race.
She, a professional TV announcer, also seldom slept during this running event.
She and her husband, Kerati-san, 100 mile finisher, are great runners, too.
P.S.4
I also admire Ty-san, my “Natural Running” friend, who finished 100 miles.
P.S.5
I LOVE “PRIZE SNACK” by Happy Box Company, Thailand.
I enjoyed this delicious rice snack during the race.
I will run my next race, with “PRIZE SNACK” again.
P.S.6
My next race is…
Thailand Ocean To Ocean Race on DEC6(SAT).
I will run this 120KM race, with my best friend, Kazumi, as a VIBRAM RUNNER.
We are preparing and training hard.

100 MILES THAILAND
このタイで最初の100マイルレースを主催したのはNopさん。
11月6日(金)正午に、61人が出走。
併設の100マイルリレー競技には、65人が出走しました。
コースは、タイ北部チェンライからチェンマイまでの100マイル。

レース参加者/運営者、みんなに拍手です!
P.S.1
今回、とても快適に走れました。
一切歩きませんでした。
身体も無痛でした。
注視したのは呼吸だけでした。
動きやパフォーマンスは、呼吸に現れます。
モノに頼らず、身体の機能を活かして走る”ナチュラルラン”は、やはり有効です!
P.S.2
レース主催者のNopさんに拍手です。
タイで初の100マイルレース。
新しいことをするというのは、簡単ではありません。
でも、それに取り組んで、やってのけました。
そして、彼のチームメンバーも、とてもよくやっていました。
一睡もせず、我々ランナーのことを守ってくれました。
P.S.3
Kiranneeさんにも、心より感謝です。
プロのアナウンサーで、今回のレースの司会をしておられました。
彼女も一睡もしていませんでした。
この写真は、Kiranneeさんと、彼女のご主人のKeratiさんと撮りました。
お二人ともランナーで、ご主人は今回100マイルを完走しました。
P.S.4
もう一人、、、
僕の“ナチュラルラン”仲間のTy-san。
見事に100マイルを完走しました。
P.S.5
今回、補給食として、大好きな“PRIZE SNACK” をずっと食べていました。
次回のレースも、“PRIZE SNACK”で走ります!
P.S.6
次回のレースは、、、
12月6日(土)のThailand Ocean To Ocean Raceです。
この120KMレースは、親友のかずみさんと走ります。

Greg-san,
Thank you so much for your words and encouragement, always.
I became too much used to running at a very slow pace, 44miles/13hours.
So, it was difficult for me to run, faster than that speed.
Finally, I could adjust myself.
I know you are doing well.
Thank you always.
Let me keep in touch!
SINGHA!

Art-san,
Thank you so much for your very kind and encouraging words.
Yes… It WAS HOT!!!!!!
But, we all survived it.
We all could come back safely.
That is the most important point.
We are all heroes.
And, thank you so much for your kind help for transportation.
Finally, we did not take the same transportation.
But, I felt very comfortable to know that you were there.
Thank you so much again.
Let’s keep on going!
