A Market!-able Experience
After what I have experienced with the previous race, I didn’t have high expectations for this race. I woke up at around 4 and arrived at Market! Market! at around 5 am.
It was the usual race day. I wore my shoes in the parking area and did some stretching; got in the mall to use the rest room and there I was, waiting for the 10-miler to start.
For the first time after a couple of races, this race started on time (thank God). The only other race which I could remember that started on time was the Condura 21k.
Most races should be organized like this one:
- It started on time
- Lots of road marshals (so that no one gets lost)
- Lots of cold water (and cups)
- Powerade at the finish line
I reached the finish line with a time of 1:41 (unofficial). It’s really difficult to set PRs if you don’t train-I’m just thankful that I still get the chance to run on weekends.
Congratulations to the organizer for making this such a happy running experience for me.
