Office commute along 多摩川 after ウガンダ OKT workout 
Drafting was essential to make it on time! 
After an early morning workout along the Tama river near #Haneda airport (TrainingPeaks categorised it as a night ride, 4am) with my team mates, I had to commute to Kodaira (just under 2h) and start my office work.
In order to do so, I rely on the ‘big guys’. Drafting in the slip stream of trucks is the only way to make it on time.
Not recommended and certainly not on bikes without disc brakes.
This way I was ‘flying’ almost all the way up along Tama river.
See you next time.
Stay safe, stay strong.
Get on your bike and be AWESOME !!!

35回ツール・ド・おきなわ2023 - 市民レース50km フォーティー (9位 
) - 35th Tour de Okinawa 2023 - Citizen Race 50km Forty
This was my first race in Okinawa. And it was amazing!!!
After the neutral zone 2 guys immediately jumped off. Since it looked serious, I decided to follow and so did another guy. Quickly we left the peloton behind and out of sight. We lost the 4th person and the remaining two guys were clearly stronger than me but also understood that 3 are better than 2 and helped me a lot. Nevertheless, on the 2nd of 3 climbs Mr. ARCC gapped us and soon there was a gap between me and #2. On the descent I caught him and we worked a bit together but eventually the peloton caught up on us. At this point we were in the breakaway for over 1 hour and I thought a podium position is certain. Anyway, now I was in the chasing group and things looked still good until 500m to go when a bunch of 7 started the sprint and both of my quads cramped. At the finish the whole group was just over 2min behind #1 and I finished 9th with 3sec behind #2. Really happy. We had a strong breakaway. But still feeling a bit… aaaaarrrgghh
ニュートラルゾーン2の後、男たちはすぐに飛び降りました。真面目そうだったので、ついていくことにしました。すぐにプロトンを置き去りにして視界から消えた。2人は明らかに私よりも強かったが、3は2よりも優れていることも理解し、私を大いに助けてくれた。それにもかかわらず、3つの登りのうち2つでARCC氏は私たちをギャップし、すぐに私と#2の間にギャップができました。下りで彼を捕まえて、少し一緒に仕事をしましたが、最終的にはプロトンに追いつきました。この時点で1時間以上逃げていたので、表彰台は確実だと思っていました。いずれにせよ、今は追走グループに入っていて、残り500mまでは順調に見えたが、7人がスプリントを開始し、両方の大腿四頭筋が痙攣した。フィニッシュ時には#1から2分強遅れ、#2から3秒遅れの9位でフィニッシュしました。本当にうれしいです。力強い逃げ切りがあった。しかし、まだ感じている…あぁ�

Man, from the video thumbnail I thought you might have taken the win! But sounds like still a great effort and good result!

Haha, well, that wasn’t my intention. I may actually change the thumbnail. Although, I was for the majority of the race in a breakaway of only 3 guys and felt like a podium was secure

17回目・日産スタジアム・サイクルパークフェスティバル・チャレンジ180の部・7th Nissan Stadium Cycle Park Festival Challenge 180 Division
After last year’s 5th place I was keen to make it onto the podium this year.
However, the Tour de Okinawa, antibiotics and a pulled wisdom tooth took their toll.
But perhaps I was simply tired.
Anyway, the race was amazing and I tried to get into the breakaway. Unfortunately my attempts were not successful. Those guys at the front were really strong. From this point on I tried to find a group I could work with together. However, that took a while. Approximately 2h during which I wasn’t able to catch the escape group (which eventually lapped me once) but was also too fast for the peloton behind me, meaning I was on my own. Eventually I was able to catch up and even caught some of the escape group which lapped me.
In the end it wasn’t enough. But I am happy nevertheless since I’ve made it into the top ten. Specifically, I got 5th (5位🏆). The same result as last year. But this time I did one lap more and was faster on top of that.
I really like the course. Technically, but not too hard.
Please let me know what you think about the video.
