söndag, november 25, 2012Haven't been writing much lately, I blame offseason, hehe
So, been down too Nice, France to run Nice - Cannes Marathon.
Last week before the trip was an nightmare. I had high fever the whole week until the morning off when we were leaving. Thank god. Haven't been the most comfortable trip. It's enough that i was afraid of flying, hehe.
So the Marathon, I wasn't exactly in peak performance so the plan was to have a nice run. Aiming for an pace around 5.20 min/km pace. My goal was hitting 5 min pace to get an 3.390 time.
The run started good, really nice running along the sea. Then at 14k, my piece of crap to knee started hurting. I couldn't quit the race. No one, I mean no one down there knows English. I didn't know if would wind up in jail, some island or some town that doesn't have high speed internet.
So just thinking of no pain no gain. At the pace i was going i wasn't really going to gain anything, hehe
Last 10k I counted that if I just would speed up a little I could make it sub 4 hours. And I did it: 3:58, small victory. Mostly happy that i could push myself around.
After in the evening we celebrated with some French wine and relaxed. =)
