06/18/2023 Goto Nagasaki International Triathlon (In Japan) Total Time 11:45:48 Swim 1.86mile (3.0km) Bike 96.3mile (155km) Run 26.0mile (42km) *The 140.6-mile full distance race has disappeared in Japan. This race course is a little shorter, but the rugged terrain makes it the same or even tougher than the 140.6-mile race!
04/21/2023 Ultra-Trail Mt. FUJI (long distance trail run race) 165km completed in about 41 hours. (Race position : 1026/1461)
09/07/2019 Completed Shonan Open Water Swimming (no wetsuits allowed) 10km in 3:35:26.
I always treat the staff, volunteers, and supporters involved in the race with respect. Without them, I would not be able to stand at the starting line.
I got certified as a referee about 10 years ago because I wanted to help with races. Every year, I participate in local races as a volunteer (referee).
Unfortunately, I have no experience of being a crew member.
「Which charity will you support?」 I am willing, but I don’t know how.
Taking on Ultraman Florida will definitely be the biggest challenge of my life. I am looking forward to meeting the wonderful staff and the beautiful course.
Race : 06/23/2019 Goto Nagasaki International Triathlon Distance : 2.36mile (3.8km) Water temperature : 23 degrees (73 degrees Fahrenheit) Wave height: knee to waist (relatively calm) Half of the course is inside the port, half outside.

We will only email you if we need important information from you, or if we are giving you important
information that you will need to have a successful Ultraman Florida experience.

Hello UMFL Athletes!
It's time to choose your check in time for race week! Check in is MANDATORY for all athletes and their crew chief (or a designated crew member if the crew chief can't make it). Time slots are first come, first served - - and there are several "premium" slots available for a fee.
CLICK HERE TO CHOOSE YOUR CHECK IN TIME.
If you don't choose a check in time before December 15th, a time will be assigned to you.
Also, the UMFL store is open for pre-orders! https://tinyurl.com/SHOPUMFL Some of the items are pre-order only, while others will be available during race week. Order by December 15 to ensure you get the items you want! All orders can be picked up at Athlete Check-In on February 7th.
Let me know if you have any questions!
When I entered, I applied for the assignment of "KAYAK ESCORT".
However, the crew chief decided to do the escort.
So, is it possible to cancel the assigned "KAYAK ESOCRT"?
Also, "OTHER CREW MEMBERS" have not been decided yet.
I'm waiting for an appointment from the travel company, and it's scheduled to be decided in January.
Could you wait a little more?
Regards,
Ok I have cancelled Ben as your kayak escort.
Yes, I can wait to learn the names of the rest of your crew - - but that means their names will not be on the back of the "names" shirt that we sell at the UMFL store.
Let me know who else will be on your crew as soon as you decide!

件名：UMFL - Crew/Athlete Tips Slidedeck plus Rules & Guidelines
Athletes (and most crew chiefs!)!
Attached is the slide deck from the recent training sessions. PLEASE FORWARD TO YOUR ENTIRE CREW TEAM and make sure they read thru this before the race briefing. We will go over some of this again during the briefing, but it is your responsibility to make sure your crew receives this information.
Also attached are the Rules & Guidelines for UMFL. The athlete and entire crew team should read these - - the crew is an extension of the athlete, so if a rule applies to the athlete, generally it will also apply to every crew member.
If you have questions, ask them now! :) If you're in the super secret Facebook group, use it to tap into the huge amounts of alumni knowledge that's available for you!
From all of us at UMFL, we hope you have a peaceful and happy holiday season with your families... and keep up your training!
件名：ACTION NEEDED - UMFL - CREW WAIVERS
Greetings UMFL Athletes and Crew Chiefs! HAPPY 2024!
Only 37 DAYS until we see you at athlete check-in on Wednesday, February 7th!
Attached is the Crew Waiver form. We need a signed copy of this form from every crew member, even if they are crewing for just one day (including your paddler). You or your crew chief should email your team's signed waivers to ultramanflorida@gmail.com. Your crew members will not be allowed to crew without this signed document!
Thank you for your quick action on getting these signed by your crew team!! We look forward to seeing you soon!
件名：UMFL - SWIM COURSE MAP & WAIVER REMINDER
Hello Athletes and Crew Chiefs!!
Hope y'all are doing well - - we are less than five weeks to race day!! Woot!!
First - attached is an overview of the updated UMFL swim course. You will do three (3) counter-clockwise loops of the course, keeping buoys on your left.
This updated course is designed to keep athletes closer to the start area, and gives crews an opportunity to spectate from shore along Lake Minneola Drive or the path south of Waterfront Park! This also yields the lowest "sun in your eyes" factor. (Map may not be exactly to scale but it will be exactly 10K!)
Second - this is your reminder that we need a signed waiver from every crew member (including paddlers) - - if you are missing any crew waivers by the time the race starts, that crew member will not be allowed in the crew vehicle or kayak. Please forward the attached waiver to your crew members if you haven't already, and have them send completed forms to ultramanflorida@gmail.com. Thanks to these athletes who have submitted ALL of their waivers already:
件名：UMFL MAP LINKS & TURN BY TURN DIRECTIONS!
Athletes, Crew Chiefs, and Staff!
See below for links to the bike and run maps! IF YOU HAVE OLD MAPS, DELETE THEM NOW!
Athletes - we HIGHLY recommend you get a bike computer if you don't already have one. The course will be marked with turn arrows, and there will be volunteers on SOME corners. Your crews will have a map book with turn by turn directions in the vehicle (attached - - all athletes and crew members should study these to get familiar with special instructions in various areas!). Bottom line, YOU and your crew are responsible for keeping you on the correct route! We also HIGHLY recommend you drive the day 1 and 2 bike courses BEFORE race days, to get familiar with the routes.
Crew Chiefs & Staff - download these into your phones, tablets, or bike computers so you have easy navigation on race days! I use the RideWithGPS app and it works great while driving!
To download .gpx or other files for your bike computers/Garmin devices, click on a link below, then click on "More" then "Export as file" and choose the appropriate file for your device. We encourage crew members to download these into their phones or tablets or bike computers - - this makes race days so much easier and less stressful on the crew!
Day 1 Bike - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41724153
Day 2 Bike - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45324440
Day 3 Run - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45399875
I'll start a thread in our super secret FB group for those who need help - - our experienced alumni are happy to help you figure it out if you run into any issues loading these into your computers.
PS - all maps are subject to change, depending on race week construction or unexpected road detours!
