Half marathon

On sunday, 17th-jan-2010, was the Mumbai Marathon. Another day to test the skills over the distance - half marathon. Following were my results,


Timing - 2hr 01min 01sec Rank - 317/394

(was boxed behind lot of people at the starting line resulting in a bit bad finish time and rank)

I was targeting a sub-2Hr result. But, the Sun hit me very hard in the final 3 Kms and i couldn't keep up the pace. Missed the target my about a minute. Will be better prepared next time :)

Not at all a bad race, i felt good throughout the race and recovered quite quickly.
From this race, i have got a lot of confidence, and i am gonna use it for my favorite short distances - 3K, 5K & 10K.

From today, i am back to regular running.
Upcoming target is to PR on the 10Km distance and do a sub-50 min @ Sunfeast bang 10K.
Short term (2 months) target is to do a 5Km in sub-22 mins.

Cheers.
