Finally, the race day! 2:15am, My alarm went off. I jumped out of the bed, and got dressed. My crew members started to wake up, I felt bad that they had to get up 2:30am in the morning for me.

Silver King Inn, served breakfast at 2:30am for runners. It was very nice of them. The lady who was working there was so nice and cheerful, she said she saw me in the news. She gave me a huge hug for good luck!
Here is the picture of me and crew in the morning at 2:30am!
We quickly had breakfast, and headed to the start at 3:30am!!
Here is the picture of my starting outfit! Head light, Team Junko T-shirt, Nathan hydration pack, GOLITE shorts, New Hale tape, La Sportiva crosslite 2.0, and Tokyo marathon gloves.
It was still dark but there were so much energy with many runners and crews at the start line. I could not believe the race day actually came, and I was going to start running in few minutes, and keep running for 30 hours!!
I had to keep talking to myself," I will make it! Go slow... be patient. Keep moving..!"
I saw some familiar faces at the start!!
