Race Reports for Ironman 70.3 Japan

Race rating (1)

Comments: I really wanted to like the race, but i really couldn't. The bike section is absolutely terrible. I would like to say that rouge JTU official didn't ruin my experience, but the fact is he is one of the main reasons i will not be entering the race again. Most post race parties are an absolute joy, unfortunately, this party you got some mini sausages, some luke warm fried udon, some curry fish balls and 2 coupons for a canned drink (all the beer was very quickly gone). I really wanted to like this race and the views were quite nice at times, i came to this race along with 90 other racers all from Hong Kong, but mainly because of the bike section, there wasn't a single person who said they would do the race again. I really have to say this race's organisation is very un-Japanese like, there are so many little things that could have made the race so much better, but wasn't done.

Comments: I did a PB which was unexpected given I was sick for the 2 weeks leading up to the race. It was the cycle leg that made all the difference.

Comments: The overall race organization was very well done, but the bike road conditions were terrible. The aid stations were sufficient in number, but there was no ice and the water, sports drink and coke were lukewarm at best. I think the warm coke was okay, but I wanted cold water and sports drink. The sponges were also just wet, not cold.
