Go woodmen (and women)!

The Hatsukaichi Triathlon is well under way now with all the racers out of the water, having swum across from the Itsukushima Torii Gate, and making their by bike up into the mountains, before the final punishing 20km run.

Great that after yesterday’s torrential rain the weather cleared before the start, and we wish everyone a strong finish, and that we were out there too.

Ganba!
