Run for training - 80kmトレーニング

Near Sakoh Bridge 酒匂橋付近

Spring is here and cherry blossoms are quickly blooming. So I jumped out for training. What I did today was to run to Odawara (<>40km away) to have quick lunch and get back. It was a splendid day today and would have been ideal for running if it were slightly less windy. I left home at 11:40 and took 1h52m/42km. The view of Mt. Fuji in front was great. I dropped in at Sakana Cuisine Ryo near Odawara station which was okay.

I saw a few foreigner rider groups as this Route 134 offers such a comfortable coast-line cruising.  The return trip hit 1h50m/44km including a detour to Azumayama to see how far sakura was blooming in the area. The time was better probably because the wind was less against on way back. BH Crista does a good job! Overall average speed was >23km/h.

桜が咲きまくる春が来て、トレーニングを始めた。今日は小田原まで40km走ってランチしようかと11時40分に自宅を発走。快適な気候だが、もう少し風が弱ければ走るには理想的だったろう。前方に富士を眺めながらの走りは気持ち良い。往路42kmは1h52mで小田原駅に着き、近くのサカナ･キュイジーヌという店にラストオーダーぎりぎりで駆け込んだ。

今日は外人ライダーを2-3組見たが、この134号線は快適な海岸線クルーズが出来るのでお勧めだと思う。復路は吾妻山の麓付近に寄り道して桜の開花具合を見たりしたが、それでも1h50m/44kmとさらに速い帰還が出来たのは、恐らく風向きのせいだ。訳あって今日はBH Cristaだが、こいつは良い走りをしてくれるようだ。平均速度>23kmで上がり。
