So, the Mt Fuji race was good yesterday. However, I misjudged what kind of race it really is and needed to train differently. I thought it was a 9.5 mile uphill run followed by a 3.5 mile fast hike. It ends up that the trails are so steep, everyone is fast hiking by mile 6 or 6.5. With only running training and no hiking training, at mile 9.5, I missed the cutoff time by 7 minutes (2:27 instead of 2:20). The Japanese actually have to do the 9.5 miles in 2:30 one year to qualify for the full race the next so I am happy with still making qualifying time. A fun day on the mountain!
