History is kind of against her, but hopefully she breaks the mold in her future marathons.<br /><br />It looks like Fukushi is going to shoot for the track for the Olympics. Mika wanted to actually watch Osaka after returning to Tokyo, so I saw it for a second time and on seeing it again I kind of felt Brett Larnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416317533206849280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506887802174553845.post-43468497637844825712012-01-31T00:22:34.813+09:002012-01-31T00:22:34.813+09:00Well done to Shigetomo!

I like the fact that she went for it from the start and was able to hang on; it shows that she has guts.<br /><br />I am starting to wonder whether Fukushi was actually fit. I know I sound like some nutjob on the internet screaming "conspiracy", but here me out. She hit the wall much worse in Osaka than in Chicago, yet her split at halfway in Osaka was over 90 yuzanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506887802174553845.post-67847154063333081412012-01-30T18:39:08.796+09:002012-01-30T18:39:08.796+09:00Good call, Bob.

Run Berlin and go for the NR like Shibui did when she didn't make Athens?Brett Larnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416317533206849280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506887802174553845.post-84752727302151952232012-01-29T20:24:59.066+09:002012-01-29T20:24:59.066+09:00My 2:23:30 prediction was almost right on...but th...My 2:23:30 prediction was almost right on...but the wrong person.<br />Boy, when Fukushi falls apart, she really falls apart, doesn't she? Although after 30k she was probably just jogging it in.<br />I don't think the marathon is for her!TokyoRacerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293712044402763377noreply@blogger.com
