Tokyo Marathon

from my first ever marathon race.  my time was about 4hr 12min on my watch and 4hr 17min on the official clock.  it was COLD and raining at the start, I was soaked before i even ran 1 meter.

I think i saw a few of you right around the 16, 17k mark (you guys were at about 12, 13k).  Christioph, if it was in fact him, was jogging methodically & had a determined look on his face, a few hundred meters behind was Reza and Paul looking fresh on a brisk fall walk.  Then just behind them was Joe, he had a roll in one hand & a bottle of water in the other and hes was running, so im not sure how or why he was behind Reza & Paul? 

Well im glad its finished… and im REALLY looking forward to the everyones posts. ; -) 

here are some pictures of the race a friend took…
