Hello!



I made my full marathon debut.

My first trial was Tsukuba marathon of 42.195km.

Tatsunieのブログ-TsukubaMarathon



Tsukuba marathon is known as the one of the easiest race because of its flat course.



The result was! I completed the full distance within 5 hours.

The weather was almost cloudy and the temperature was less than 10 degrees even at noon.

However a cold weather is good for a runnner.

I could run 30km with a comfortable feeling during the first 3 hours.



But after passing 30km, my legs became painful.

"Oh! this might be a beginner's mistake. Was my pace too much fast?",

I thought.




Actually, I used to run 10km in 1 hour when training.

I mean, I've never run 30km in 3 hours.



Then I gave legs a massage, had a kind of amino-acid-drink and slowed the pace down.

Run and walk, and walk and run. But the pain made me mood-elevating. The goal was right in front of me.

As soon as I crossed the goal line, my legs became like a stone and I was not able to even walk normally.

But what a feeling of it! I sensed accomplishments, fulfillments and superiority.



I came to want to break the 4 hours barrier next time!



Thank you for reading!



Konbanwa!



It's gettin cold as time goes.

The season is just for Chige!


It's SoonDooBoo.

Tatsunieのブログ-SoonDooBoo

I made it by my memory.

Do you know that Soon Doo Boo was made in U.S. by Korean immigrant?

Anyway, So Gon Don's one is unforgettable for me.


You will be able to have it in Ebisu soon.



And for some reason I have had something wrong with golf since I came back.

The balls turn right.

Here is one of the biggest and most expensive golf range, Lotte Kasai 3rd floor.

This range is also Korean property isn't it?


A long and pleasant Hawaiian time was over.

Finally I arrived Japan, and got back to fucking busy life on Tokyo.

Tatsunieのブログ-Tokyo

The only good one, while the others were bad, was that my flight was changed to the business class.

Tatsunieのブログ-Businessclass


But still, Japan seems a little bit strange about many things.
First, the sky is gray and it's short of the brightness.
Second, somehow people are hurried by something. And they are very unkind and rude, I feel. In a station, a few passengers even were running for catching a train.
They didn't see the other people were walking, and they passed through next to me in fast speed.


Among others, it's fucking cold!
However, as soon as I came back I went surfing to my home beach, which is called Ichinomiya.

Tatsunieのブログ-Ichinomiya1102

Japan's water is not only cold but also dirty. On this day, the color of water was brown like a oolong tea.


Tatsunieのブログ-SemiDry

Look at this! We must wear the full suits now though I would wear only trunks in Hawaii.


Like this, I'd like to write affairs of Japan from now.
It may give a little bit negative impression, but it may be caused by Japan's atmosphere that I feel.


Aloha!


Soon after I came to Hawaii, it's nearly time to graduate.


Today I want to show my class.

My class is Besiness English Program(BEP).

This class is very good becase there are only two Japanese guys.

Another people are from Swiss, Deutsh, Korea and the other is from Taiwan.

On this day, Korea guy and Taiwan guy absented the school.

We had the graduation celemony on last friday.

You know, I have more one week, however the ceremony is held once per month, so I got an eary certificate.

The guy in the picture is my teacher, whose name is Peter.

Now, I'll enjoy the rest of one week.


Mahalo!!


Hi, Aloha!


The waves still remain.

Those were about shoulder-high, clean and a little bit steep today, and I could surf fine.

Tatsunieのブログ-wave1020

This is "Kaka'ako" park.

In last saturday, Kaka'ako's were too big for me, so I went "POPS" saturday and sunday.

But the swell has faded away. I guess that Waikiki must be fucking Paddle Board paradise today.



Today I have the other topic.

My friend taught me the one of cheapest massage in Hawaii.

Hawaii Massage Academy.

Tatsunieのブログ-HMA  

It is in Century Center, which is located the opposite side of Hawaii Convention Center, and is near DonQuijote.


At last I went to try the massage.

It is the lomi lomi type massage. Of course it was fine.

But I would rather Thai massage than it.


They have a private rooms, which are clean and not narrow, and it seems like ordinary massage parlour.
Tatsunieのブログ-HMA2

The price is unbelievable, $30.00- per hour!!
Why is it so cheap? Because it is run by academy and the therapists are in the internship.

However, they already finished their academy course so they may be a match for.


They may not advertise themselves in a kind of freepaper or travel book, so word of mouth is only way to spread around.

If you want to go, you have to book on the phone.

Why don't you try in next Hawaii?

Aloha!!


Today, the groundswell has hit the south shore!

However, a guy in the picture is no longer able to catch those.

Tatsunieのブログ-tomoo

During tomoo's stay, there were fucking no wave.

As soon as he left, the waves have been bigger!

Farewell, tomoo. Have a nice fright.


The forecast says this swell will remain at least next 3 days.

I wonder if he took a few more day off.






Aloha!


I have successfully climbed to the summit of Diamond Head.

Tatsunieのブログ-DHSM
Mount "LeAhi" rises 760 feet above sea level and 560 feet from the crater floor.


I have offically ascended the 0.7 mile long trail which is unpaved and has an uneven rock and dirt surface that may be loose and slippery in place.

It leads through a dark tunnel and involves climbing 271 steps through a narrow spiral staircase inside an unlit bunker.

The entire hike took about 1 hour.


My reward for accomplishing this feat was a panoramic view of south Oahu from KoKo Head to Barbers Point.


A vivid rainbow appered in front of KoKo Head.

Tatsunieのブログ-Rainbow


The view of Waikiki skyscrapers was not bad! It is worth to go and spend time.

Tatsunieのブログ-DHSummit


In addition, if you are surfer, you might be curious about the view of Light House.

You can see the breaks, and those are also nice view!
Tatsunieのブログ-LightHouse

Aloha!


Tomoo arrived.


This is Itai-kun wedding.
Tatsunieのブログ-itaikun
I had met Itai-kun only when we were on the water,

so it was first time that we met on the ground.


May two of you be happy.


Anyway, I didn't go surfing in this weekend.

I have not surfed for 3 days, how?

うっす。アロハ!

North Shore!!


At last! I got waves are there.

All the same, the symbolic picture is necessary.

Tatsunieのブログ-HAKEIWA



Waves were not too big, of course.

A few of the points had breaks that day, HALEIWA, WAIMEA, Sunset, and also Pipeline were flat.

Below is Efukai. Fine waves were coming and hyper experts, who are even children, got those waves to fly.

Tatsunieのブログ-Efukai


For the first time in north shore, I chose the LANIAKEA point which is easier and safer than the others.

It was 2 feet normally, 3-4 feet (shoulder) in sets.

Fine and clean those were.



Blue Water's garlic shrimp, I've had first time ever.
Tatsunieのブログ-BuleWater

I thought how to make the sauce.

If I could make the sauce, I'd cook it even in Japan.

Aw, I had seen familiar longboards of KOA Board Sports in Sunset which are the pink one and blue one. Those had remained combination!!
