Hmm - well this was an odd and very quiet day. We’d been seeing signs all over the place this week for the Kanazawa Marathon …. And it was on today. If only we knew earlier, but the applications closed in April. Damn … maybe next time.😂😂😂
However, this meant we were a little stuck for the best part of the day. All the major routes were closed and the station was heaving of strange people preparing for the run ….
There were a lot of people all over with spectators as well. I felt a bit sorry for the tourists who came to Kanazawa for the day only to find they were stuck and couldn’t really get anywhere …. Unless you walked through the crowds.
On the plus side - it’s a very strict marathon. All round the course, there are 7 heck points and if you don’t get to each checkpoint in time, you are asked to leave the marathon so it wasn’t going to drag on all day …. But it’s a bit harsh if you are dressed as Pikachu and only trained for three days 。😬
So we only really got out later in the afternoon for a walk to get some supplies and dodge the raindrops ….. although we didn’t do much, it wasn’t a problem as we needed a bit of a rest and some recovery time for the week.
Well done to everyone who ran the marathon ….
Until tomorrow xxx
