28th Kaike Triathlon
Written by: adekun on 20 July, 2008 7:50 am - Filed under: blog ?
Today is Triathlon day and it looks to be a hot and very humid one. The typhoon moving up from Taiwan is now heading more towards the west. On Friday evening there was an announcement over the city public address system to say somebody had spotted a two or three metre fish; either a school of fish or a shark. With the warming of the seas over the years, Hammerhead sharks can be seen off the beach. This year the swim is going ahead. The event is now an ecology conscious green tournament. Volunteers will be bussed around in buses running on biodiesel produced from used tempura oil.

It was 35°C at two o’clock. Watched some of the runners come in and think admiration is an understatement.

About 5 years ago, they spotted a school of 200(!) hammermeads off Tottori city.
Really enjoying the blog, I lived in Yonago from 1994-2006, hence the name of my blog. Really miss it sometimes, especially my own garden. May come up for a day or two this fall, hisashiburi ni.

Elsewhere in the news today people are up against 200 monkeys.
There’s still a few expats here that have been here about the same amount of time. Up and around
