So I just ran a marathon.
My initial goal: "If the time started with 4, that would be nice". The real goal: "Finish".
Official race time 4:47:34
Strava moving time 4:44:42I didn't run this for the time, I ran it to outdo myself. At the finish line when I saw my son and wife, I had a good cry. It all came out, all of those emotions. It's been a hell of a year, fighting death, trying to stay alive. This marathon and crossing the finish line means a lot to me in many ways. Training hasn't been easy and I've missed a few runs. But I did it! I can't believe it.
I knew in advance that nutrition was going to be a problem. As a nerd, I suck at eating. On Friday I had sushi and pasta, maybe that saved this marathon. Breakfast: protein bar, pre-workout shot, banana, energy candy, sports drink. Way too light. Luckily, I left Powerade and four gels at the service station. For the last lap (10km) I saved 2 gels. I "hit the wall" surprisingly early on at 26km, that is when I started to get hungry. The pit stops helped a bit, got water and sports drink.
The pace stayed good for 30km, after that it was just survival. But I fuckin did it! ๐ฅ
The weather was PERFECT by the way. Absolutely magical, 15 degrees Celsius and no rain, last 10km drizzle. As soon as I crossed the finish line, the skies opened up.
Oh, and it was nice to have the other side of the lake open for the race, it's been closed for a year.
