THE DAY THE TSUNAMI STRUCK

A Friday, 11th March, 2011 started as an ordinary day I was with my camera crew covering a story about the scallop fishermen of the Miyagi prefecture It was a cold afternoon with a dark sky and it looked like it might snow I was just finishing the interview when, suddenly, around 14:45 the ground started shaking beneath our feet Even before the siren started to sound over the town, we knew it must be an earthquake! It became impossible to stand In a moment, enormous cracks appeared in the road

B Local people said a tsunami was approaching and urged us to get away as soon as possible We climbed to higher ground

above the town and waited A short time later we saw the sea rise up in a colossal wave and completely destroy the breakwater that was protecting the coastline We watched helplessly as the water flooded into the town streets and washed away everything in its path It seemed the whole town was afloat Cars, trees, even rows of houses were swept along in the raging torrent

C The rising sea soon engulfed the whole town It had taken only 30 minutes Up on the hill, we huddled together with the

evacuated residents and tried to keep warm We were in a state of shock and couldn't believe how rapidly it had all happened One man told me he had escaped from a building just before it was washed away He saw many people washed away with it Two of them were his parents; he had been unable to reach them and thought they must have drowned

D We spent two nights up there on the hill On Sunday morning, as the water started to recede, we guessed there would be

no further tsunami warnings We were also extremely hungry, so we decided to venture back down to the town in the unlikely

hope of finding some food We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw the scale of the devastation Whole streets of houses had been flattened and were now reduced to heaps of rubble Some very weird sights greeted us: a double-decker bus that had been carried along in the flood was now perched on top of a three-storey building, while somebody's former home stood upon the roof of a primary school

E As we walked on, shocked and silent, I wondered if the town could ever return to normal A local woman was shaking her

head as she wandered down the road “I don't know if it’s good or bad that I survived," she said as we passed by Hearing her words, another man left with nothing spoke out: "Those of us who are left have a duty to help each other in any way possible

No one is allowed to give up!" Standing together among the ruins and debris, we knew he was right

THE ULTRAMAN

The Ultraman World Championship is an exciting annual three-day endurance triathlon race It is held on the amazingly beautiful Pacific Big Island Hawaii over Thanksgiving weeknd The Ultraman triathlon is not like any other ordinary race

and even the thought of competing in it is daunting The race covers a total of 515 km and offers a variety of terrains, scenery and challenges It is divided into three parts that have to be completed in no more than 12 hours each Participants who fail to reach the finish line within the time limits are automatically disqualified The first stage consists of a 10-km ocean swim

followed by a gruelling 145-km cross-country bike ride involving mountain road climbs up to 1,828 m For the second stage,

on the following day, the participants are pushed to their limits when they have to cycle 276 km of hilly roads from the Volcanoes National Park in the south of the island to Kohala in the northeast The competitors who survive the first two stages of the race can look forward to a whopping double marathon consisting of running an unbelievable total distance of 84

km instead of the usual 42 km

Preparation for such a race needs to be serious and potential competitors would usually have to do a lot of training sessions over a long period building up to the triathlon Some prefer to train moderately while others do more intense training including cycling up to 200 km in one session, doing 40 to 50 km runs, or swimming several kilometres in cold water as well

as following a strict diet Only the truly determined athlete takes on such a task Perhaps that is why the challenging race is limited to only 35 invited athletes no younger than 20 who wish to explore the extremes of physical and mental abilities The rules also state that entrants need to have a support team of at least two people throughout the entire course of the race Since

its beginnings in the late 1970s, the Ultraman Triathlon has attracted athletes from around the world and its popularity has

helped establish the triathlon as an Olympic sport The prize? Well, unlike many races, there is no great sum of money to be won, but for the entrants, the real prize is the glory of winning and achieving something truly amazing
