Per google translate:
Race development I didn't know who was the target pacemaker, so I dashed too fast and slowed down.
When I asked the pacemaker who had caught up with me about the pace, he said "2:07".
I was in the third group, which was faster than planned, but it was a mistake to catch up.
At first, it was a downhill, so the pace was a little fast, and I felt like I couldn't hold it.
When I looked behind me around 3km, there was no 4th group, and I could see a large group of 5th group pace far behind.
I could have had a better race if I slowed down and joined Group 5, but I ended up staying in Group 3 (1 PM, 2 riders). I dropped out [off] before 10km and waited for the group behind to catch up.
At the 10km point, there was a big gap between me and I had a hard time catching up, so I ended up running alone until about 20km. After being caught up before 20km, I was allowed to join the group. Although I managed to keep up, I suddenly lost my strength after 28km and dropped out of the group. I was running alone again
When I replenished the energy gel around 30km, I felt a little better, but I couldn't regain my pace when I ran alone. However, I continued to stick to the goal of the players who were falling from the front and passed them one by one.
After entering the course of the London World Championships in Athletics, I overtook another player, but at around 38km another player caught up with me and ran side by side.
After passing Big Ben, near the last 1km, when the runners ahead came into view, there was a downhill, so I accelerated. I pulled away from the runner who was running side by side and caught up with the runner in front, but I noticed a sign near Buckingham Palace and was on the verge of overtaking and accelerated. When I chased the player who accelerated, another one fell down.
It was a development that managed to pass those two on the final straight line and scored the goal. I wasn't able to achieve my target ranking and target time, and I regret my mistake in making the decision to start from the beginning at the sub-10 pace of the 5th group in an instant. However, the cheering at the London Marathon was really amazing. Even when I ran alone, I received a lot of support.
Also, even though my bib was not my name but my number, there were people all over the place cheering me on with "YUKI", which really encouraged me.
Despite the rain, the supporters and staff were wonderful, and I am grateful that I was able to run the London Marathon and learn about the London Marathon.
