Yo-chan, we thought you didn't write anything for the 4th day. I was a bit worried about it. Now I noticed that for some reason only your blog of the 4th day wasn't uploaded. Now it's uploaded after your Long Stage with the costume. That's why you didn't receive comments regarding this blog. Anyways, I am happy to hear from you again.

TUGIMOGANBATTE！！
05 March 2013 04:18 am (GMT+09:00) Osaka, Sapporo, Tokyo
We completed stage 3 in distance of 40.6km at time 6h54m39s.
Today's rank was 27th as total rank, and 1st as team class.
The strongest rival, UK team has broken for some reason last night. German team has also changed to individual competition because one of them retired due to injuries. There are only 2 teams, our team and Scotish team. We should understand how difficult the team management is. there are still possiblities of team-broken among us, e.g. injuries or distruction of friendship among us!
The stage is consituted with small sand dune along the cliffs at the foot of the mountain.
koko kara nihongo de shiturei shimasu.
cp 2 made ha juncho ni hashitta. kyo no concept ha "keep sustainable running". like LSD (long slow distance), we kept our pace not so fast but not to walk. fortunately, all of us didn't have some problems physically and mentally. saiko ni kimochi yokatta! sabaku mo henka ni tondeite, saisho ha sabanna no youna bush, tsugi ha salty flat (shio de shirokunatta katamari ga gotu gotu tsukideta jimen), sono ato ha akai iwa to sabaku no kumiawase no noborizaka. doremo, sahara desert deha minakatta koukei de, kesiki wo zonbun ni tanoshimukotoga dekita. CP 2 deha, RTP no nihon no agent no Sandy Kondo-san ga, ale wo okuttekurete, tension ga agatta. kanojo niha, sabakuni makikomareta kimosuruga, konkaino race mo fukumete, ironna koto de osewaninatteiru.
cp 4 no atono climbing stage ha exiting na course. ikutusmono gake no up-down de kanzen ni ikiga agatta. demo, kono 3 kagetu kan de, 2500m ijou no kouchi de marathon wo surutame ni hitsuyou na teisanso training wo tundekita okagede, sukoshi no jikan de kokyu wo totonoeru kotoga dekita.
Sore igai nimo, desert race ni hituyouna maintenance wo kakashiteinai kotomo, stage 3 made wazukana damage de pass shitekita kotoni tunagatteiru. hitotu ha, blister management. sunaga shoes ni haittari, kawa watari nadode ashi ga fuyakeru tameni, hobo subeteno senshu ga ashi ni dekiru mame de nayama sareru. konkai ha, izen kara tameshitekita nakade mottomo jibun no ashi to aishou no ii protection cleam wo tukatteiru okagede, tiisana mame dake ni todomatteiru.
Hashitteiru aida ni, mou hitotu ha, routine work wo chanto konasu koto. mizu wo nomu, siho taburetto wo nomu, rip cleam wo nuru, wo constant ni crikaesu koto ga, nani yorimo juyo. team sen no okagede, sorezore ga, 30min, 1hour goto ni koe wo kakeau tameni, wasurenai toiu merit mo hakken shita.
saigoni, ouen no message wo kudasatta minasan, hono ni arigatougozaimasu! okagede, ookina power wo itadaitemasu!
kyou ha kokomade.

Hey, finally got around to reading your blogs (had only be seeing the photos up till now - and they really are amazing) but of course reading your own words are much more fun and astonishing!
Your whole adventure is so terribly exciting and amazing, it makes me really quite jealous and want to go out and do something myself... ;) Hoping that you keep on enjoy every step, all the things you see and hear and smell and feel! Way to go, Team Kizuna!!!

I believe you had great run in Stage5 and you must be relaxed and enjoy the break after 5 days fight. You must be fulfilled by what you achieved and keeping promise with Toshio-san. Inhale a lot of flesh air and feel everything surrounding you. That must be a once in a life-time experience. I am sure that Toshio-san is looking at you with his generous smile from the sky. Do you best and enjoy the last stage. Good luck!!

04 March 2013 04:29 am (GMT+09:00) Osaka, Sapporo, Tokyo
We finished stage 2 in distance of 44.5km at time 6h41m48s and we got the top rank in the team class with advantage of 11 mins.
I'm sorry, but I would wirte nihongo from now because I'm tired.
kyo wa sabaku de hajimete no kawa-watari no stage. check point 1 made wa, nando mo hiza made tsukaru kawa wo watarinagara, kyoukoku wo susundeiku course. Atacama meibutsu tomo ieru kono course wa, izen kara tanoshimi ni shiteita. mizu wa chou tsumetaikedo, keshiki wa jungle cruise no youna nature taste! tadashi, mizu ga shoes no nakani hairi, sono ato no sabaku de mame ga dekite shimau risk mo arunode, ashi ni wa waserin wo kasane nuri shiteoita. okagede, hotondo damage zero!

And I am sooo happy that you have such a great friendship. Well, I cried, reading your blog today. I think the reason we can enjoy our lives is that not only we have lucks but also we have great support from our friends and families. I'm sure Shimada-san supports Team KIZUNA from heaven. Well, he must be busy going to Tokyo and Atacama back and forth many times a day :)

We have finished STAGE 1 “Navigation by Rock” in distance of 35km at time 4h28m35s.
At the beginning of the race, I was really excited because I have never come back to the desert after completing SAHARA RACE 2011 in October 2011.
However, the view and the smell of Atacama deserts are different with Sahara. Also, this time I’m participating in the race as a team with my friends. The teamwork is a crucial factor in addition to a lot of other factors, physical conditions, mental conditions, conditions of varied equipments I prepared for the past 3 months.
Although today’s stage is not so long compared with the other stages, we were struggling with tough conditions, higher than 3200m of altitude, hot temperature, dry humidity, heavy back packs, and so on. Until check point 2 we were able to run without any problems. I really enjoyed running in one of the beautiful world. From cp2 long long climbing course suffered us. It was really tough. After cp3, we missed the pink flag and missed the course, but we could found the correct course with loss of just 5 or 10 minutes. Last 3 km I felt hard but we finished without any issues. The rival team from UK seemed to finish earlier than us by 16 minutes. It’s not so large behind, but they are likely strong. We will be able to enjoy this completion until the latter stage!
As we focus on to win the team competition, I would like to write this blog shortly in order to keep the time for rest. See you tomorrow!

Atacama Crossing 2013 is the second trial for me.
The fisrt challenge was Sahara Race 2011 and I completed it in Oct 2011.
Just until 2 years ago I didn't know such races existed around the world. I couldn't image a desert marathon in distance of 250km for 7 days with self supported (bringing all equipments such as foods, clothes, head lights, and so on) under the extreme conditions on the earth.
In April 2013 I joined the reporting party of Atacama Crossing 2010 ivited from my Friend, Shiro Arai, who also completed the race. I was quite impressed with this competition and I admired Kabasawa-san, Shiro and all other competitors. I was getting considering I wanted to participate in these races in the future. I started running as a free time activity since then.
And 6 month later, I completed Sahara Race 2011 with my friends.
This time I will challenge Atacama Crossing with team competition with my friends, Hirofumi Ono and Shinya Sasaki. Team name is "KIZUNA". I would like to thank all of friends, familly and every one who supports us personally as well as in business.
Now we passed all checks by the staff and are going to the camp soon.
