Japan...Part II (short version)

Got to the race on Saturday night.

Did an individual TT do decide starting placement...no le mans run in Japan.

I got 5th overall after just getting out of the car.

Rained all day Saturday...and Sunday...and Monday....and now even Tuesday.

Course was a mud bog...think peanut butter.

Course was like 4.5 miles per lap.

Little climbing. Bunch of short power climbs. Mud was the worst part.

Had to switch bikes every 2 laps

There was like 7 or so solo racers and a bunch of teams.

The same guy has won like 11 straight years. (this was the 13 year of the event)

Not this year.

I BEAT HIM!

I got first with 42 laps of mud bogging fun.

I think I won by like 4 laps.

Right now I feel pretty good, and am not too sore.

Will pack up bikes today and take in some sights.

Tomorrow I fly home.

In depth post to come when I am back in the States.

I still can`t read, speak, or understand a word of Japanese
