Wipro Bengaluru Marathon 2023

Race Category: HM

Timing: 02:12:41

Happy to announce I recorded my HM PB in this 2023 edition of Bengaluru Marathon. Well, the race route was changed compared to previous years and I liked this one better.

Due to good taper and rest in last couple of weeks, I was able to pick up a faster pace than intended quite effortlessly. There was a slight hesitation in maintaining that faster pace initially as I was afraid that I might run out of gas towards the end. But since I couldn't really stop myself I decided to go with the flow. At the end of 16th km mark I was still happy with a good pace, but boy!, the 17th km was a killer. Took like forever to complete that. I was kinda tired for next 2 kms; may be, missing those gym strengthening sessions proving to be costly. Somehow managed to finish bit strong at the end. 

Crossing that finish line with the realization that I've improved my previous PB set way back in 2018 by 3 minutes gave a sense of accomplishment.

Now, onto the TMM 2023 preparation.
