First trail run @筑波山

I must admit it was not a good choice: there are too many hard ground such as stone and cement while too few soft natural ground. My knees hurt! Let's hope the conditions are better at Hakuba. The weather was poor too. It rained often, and when it didn't rain, it was sweltering :( But at least I had more or less some nice view during the hike:

Anyway, the result was okay: 13km/4h, on average 3km/h, and I didn't feel exhausted at the end. I should be able to do another 5km flat or downhill, but any uphill will be huge pain.

By the way, low as it is (877m), Tsukuba Hill is one of the Japanese 100 famous mountains! And my 5th among the 100 :)
