July 28, 2021 5K Time Trial
August 1, 2021• Moeka Nakamura ran the Sainokuni 5K on the 5th in 23:49, placing 2nd overall in the female category. First race in a long time!
• 2019 Namban Rengo Runner of the Year Yuta Suda was a busy man on the 19th. He ran 5K in 16:39 at the Shingashigawa Ukima Parkrun at 8:20. Then jogged to the Itabashi Monthly challenge and ran 1K in 3:08 at 9:15, then 5K in 16:27 at 9:30 (I guess he finally got warmed up), then finished up with a half marathon in 1:17:55 at 10:20. Then I hope he went home and had a nap!
• Three Nambanners braved the heat (29°C) at the Eco Marathon on the Tamagawa on the 20th. Ken Pechter 48:18, Yasuo Hayakawa 50:37 and Marc Fuoti 58:47.
