Jogging Haiku 32: Undokai

October begins
Relay-practicing students,
It's Sports Day season.

(6km, average pace, with some capoeira at the end)

Sports Festivals are a common trait at Japanese school. They are traditionally held at the end of September, beginning of October, although in recent years some schools hold them in May because the temperatures at this time of year can still be very hot.

I actually attended my first one on Sunday at my niece's elementary school. She and her friends seemed to have had a great time, and I guess that's the most important. I look forward to Kazuma's a few years down the line.
