• 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.
