“Actually, this is my first time running at Lake Saiko.”

The runner considered dropping out of the 2018 Toda Marathon in Saiko half marathon because they felt heavy, but ran the entire second lap too. They caught other runners late, finished with a chip time of 1 hour, 20 minutes, 25 seconds, and reached the age-group podium.
