Blessed by sublime weather, I got to experience the delight of helping out a canicross–canine cross country–and spent the day being surrounded by literally hundreds of doggos, thse glorious little angels without wings.
They were taking part in Dog Marathon 2025 Shonan Beach Canicross on Tsujido Beach in Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture.
There were four different races with owners running together with their pooches (at least in theory, as slogging it out on the beach is pretty touch work, even if you’ve got four legs, as would prove to be the case for many dogs).
It was an absolute delight, though, and I had a magnificent day.
Coming home wasn’t so grand, as the tubeless tire on my bike that is allegedly meant to be immune to punctures had a puncture.
Fortunately, good luck continued to follow me as I found a bike store that was open and could get it repaired, albeit at the mere cost of an arm and leg.
