Obviously the top-guns like Paul Tergat and Sammy Wanjiru make headlines but I am more impressed by
| No. | name | age | nationality |
| 576 | TSUKAMOTO,Namikazu | 53 | JPN |
| 644 | UCHIYAMA,Tokuhiro | 53 | JPN |
| 638 | YANAGAMIZU,Koji | 53 | JPN |
Hei!!! these guys DID run a marathon in less than 2h45' in the past 2 years !!!! (this is the entry requirement to Fukuoka).
I am amazed .... 53 years and still running in the best 0,5% of the running population...
We still have time to achieve our PB then !!!!
Other small notes:
- there will be less than 10 "whites" at the start (excluding Japanese, Korean and Kenians), so I will not pass unnoticed...
- around 580 at the start ... a small pack, hope to find a group to hang with for as long as I can
- compared to Japanese runners, I am FAT !!! those around 180/181cm like me are 60/65kg !!! I am probably the heaviest in the starting field ?? (at 181cm/69-70kg)
