Gears crazy in the early stages Matsuda Bitter defeat MGC Women's September 16 0:35

Unexpected high pace. The rhythm was disturbed at the beginning and it sounded to the end. Mizuo Matsuda sank in 4th place without showing his explosive last spurt. The gear began to go crazy early on.

The youngest player, Mao Ichiyama, took the lead in the race, and the first 5 km passing time was 16 minutes 31 seconds, which is equivalent to the average pace of the Japanese record.

Two days before the race, Matsuda, who read with a smile, saying, “Someone never jumps out and will be in a dungeon state,” and began to lag at an unexpected pace 2 kilometers before the start.

Matsuda said, “I was impatient” for the development. Even so, he continued to run at his own pace, saying, “The top group will eventually fall because the pace is fast.”

When the pace of the top group dropped between 5 and 10 kilometers, he caught up with the group 10 kilometers before Matsuda read. It should have been Matsuda's race from here.

However, Matsuda will not be able to follow if the top pace rises again after 15 kilometers. What was happening? Matsuda, who has never lost to a Japanese player in two marathons, has been racing at his own pace. However, on that day, Matsuda himself felt that the gears were not meshing, saying, “I was impatient at an early pace and could not get into the rhythm.”

So far 15km, it seems to keep the same pace, it is far from my run. The crazy rhythm did not return to the beginning. Even if the pace of the head went up, I was full of chasing, and there were no spurt legs that could be said to be synonymous.

After the race, “I knew my weakness with an unexpected development. It was a defeat.” It was far from the smiling Matsuda, who had been interviewed so far.

There is only one representative frame for the Tokyo Olympics. In order to grab that frame, you must update your own record of 2 hours 22 minutes 23 seconds in the 3 target races that will be held until March next year. When asked about the future, he said, “I don't feel comfortable now, so I want to rest and think about it.”

Matsuda was caught up to the edge of the Tokyo Olympics, where he said "dream". It was a bitter defeat that made me think that it was necessary to regain that smile once again in order to capture my dreams.
