FORESTRAIL蒜山新庄2022
快晴の中、大会が開催されました。
ボクは、マーシャルと言うポジション
選手が安全に走行しているか
怪我や病気になってないか
見守りながら励ましながら
自分に決められた区間を行ったり来たり...
コレは、ボクの個人的な練習にもなって一石二鳥でした。
ロング・ミドル・ショート３部門に別れていてどの選手も苦しくも輝いていた。
そんな選手を見ると、ボクまでパワーをもらえる。そして、声をかけてパワーをお返しする。
嬉しい楽しい循環作用🫶🏻🤝
おまけに天気がすこぶる快晴
朝陽☀️🌈から虹色に染まりながら
夜が明けていく様子は、
贅沢な時間☕️
エイドスタッフさんに豆🫘から挽いて頂き
淹れたてコーヒーは、めっちゃ美味しい😋至福のひとときだった
ここからは、ちょっと残念なお知らせ😩
ミドル選手たちが大量にロスト...
選手たちが、マーキングを見間違いゴール方向へ...
運営側にいたからでは無く
一選手目線として
マーキングばかりを頼りにすのでは無く
・コースをしっかり把握して大会にの臨むこと
ボクも生半可な確認で臨んで痛い目にあった😵💫
・GPSで確認すること
・ジオグラフィカ等アプリを入れて起動すること
・コースマップを持っておくこと
ココもエイド区間ゴトにいちいち確認すること
そうでもしないとロストは防げないし
どれくらい標高差が有るからエネルギー準備
水分量等計算出来ない。
だから、脱水症状や足攣り等も起きやすい😫
等、選手としての心得が不足していたような気がした
海外レースを経験して
日本のレースは、大会運営側に選手が頼り過ぎていると感じる
海外レースは、選手側の意識が高く自分達で把握して臨もうと言う気がした。
だから、今回の大量ロストは
そうした意識の差から生まれたかなと思っています。
それと、前行く選手の後ろ姿ばかり追っていくと
ロストしやすい。
自分でもっと確認しながら行くべきだと思う
今回の経験を糧にして
選手自身が変わらなきゃ！
偉そうにこんな書いている
ボクもロストを経験して
イエローカードをもらい
次やったら失格だと言われ意識がゴロっと変わったもんね🥲
日本にも、そんな方法があっても良いかもしれませんね🥹
せっかく大会に出て途中で辞めさせられたら
悔しいし情けないし...
ペナルティーありきは良くないけど
ただ、運営側もこうした重要事項の周知方法
表現方法も改善の余地有りだと思う
互いに、大会を盛り上げて
その後、また参加して頂きたいって思ってもらえたり個人的に山に登りに来て頂けたら
一層嬉しいと思う😊
The tournament was held under clear skies.
I was a marshal.
I check to see if the competitors are running safely
and that they are not injured or sick.
I watch over them and encourage them
I went back and forth between my allotted sections...
This was also my personal practice, so I was able to kill two birds with one stone.
There were three divisions: long, middle, and short, and all the runners were shining even though they were suffering.
When I see such athletes, even I can get power from them. And I returned the power by calling out to them.
It's a happy and fun cycle 🫶🏻🤝.
In addition, the weather was beautiful!
From the morning sun ☀️🌈 to the rainbow colors.
as the night dawned.
Luxurious time☕️.
The aid staff grinded coffee from beans 🫘 and brewed it for us.
The freshly brewed coffee tasted so good 😋 it was a blissful moment!
Now here's a bit of disappointing news 😩.
Lost a lot of midfielders...
The players misread the markings and went towards the goal...
Not because I was on the management side...
but from a player's point of view
Don't just rely on the markings.
You need to know the course well before you start the race.
I had a painful experience with a half-hearted check 💫.
Check the course with GPS.
I had to do it half-heartedly 😵💫 ・Check the course with a GPS
Have a course map with you.
Check every single aid section here too!
If you don't do that, you can't avoid lost time.
You can't calculate how much elevation you need to prepare for energy and how much water you need to drink.
You can't calculate the amount of water you need to drink.
Therefore, dehydration and leg cramps can easily occur.
I felt like I lacked the knowledge of what to expect as an athlete.
Experiencing overseas races
I feel that in Japanese races, athletes rely too much on the race organizers.
In overseas races, athletes are more aware of the importance of the race and are willing to grasp the situation on their own.
That's why the large number of lost races this time
I wonder if the large number of lost races this time was caused by such a difference in awareness.
Also, it is easy to lose a race if you only follow the back of the front runners.
It is easy to lose the race.
I think you should go while checking yourself more.
We must use this experience as food for thought.
I think the players themselves need to change!
I'm writing this like I'm a big fan.
I've been on the roster too.
I got a yellow card
I was told that if I did it again, I would be disqualified, and my consciousness changed a lot 🥲.
Maybe Japan should have such a method 🥹.
It would be frustrating and shameful if I went all the way to a tournament and was forced to quit halfway through...
It's frustrating and shameful...
Penalty is not a good idea though...
But I think there is room for improvement on the part of the management
I think there is room for improvement in the way they express themselves.
We should make the event more exciting for both parties.
If you can make people want to participate again afterwards, or come to climb the mountain personally
I would be more than happy 😊.
