Race Category: FM
Timing: 05:31:38
Frankly speaking, this was a disappointment for multiple reasons:
- Short of preparation: Well, I could manage four 21 kms runs in December ranging from 21 to 27 kms, however I couldn't accommodate longer runs of 35+ kms
- Short of rest on previous couple of days of race: I was in an unfortunate spot w.r.t. family obligation to attend a wedding on the previous day in Mumbai which, of course, didn't help me the next day. Also, lack of sleep was an important aspect IMO
Well, the only bright spots of this race were:
I was able to complete the full marathon without much body issues (apart from some cramps),
and I was determined to run the whole of Pedder road (onward & return) and I could actually achieve it.
Mumbai crowd always brings in that extra push with words of encourages, banners & fruits on the way which is really cool. I appreciate their efforts to come out and cheer those thousands of runners.
Thank you Mumbai, I will be back stronger!
