• Comments: Eh, I wouldn't reccommend this race. I don't think it was as well organized as the Sado Triathlon, even though this was part of the JTU (Japanese Trithlon Union). Granted, it was only and Olympic distance tri, but I think that aid stations should offer more than just cups of water. And at the end of the race, I was handed two baggies with a small block of ice in them. What do I want a small block of ice for? Let alone two. How about handing me a bottle of water or something or a banana. Also (even though this is only my second tri) I don't really care for races that have the location for the end of the race in a different place than the start. Things should be central, and I shouldn't have to hitch a ride to pick up my bike and wetsuit. Maybe it's because of my bad performance (sour grapes), but I really didn't think this triathlon was worth coming to.
