Well, lets spam social media one more time! Drove all the way to Sneek together, was a bit late so crossed the starting line as very last runner! Didnt have a great start as my right foot was hurting right from the start. I thought I might have to give up at the half way point, where Alex was waiting for me (😍) with a banana and another bottle of water with magic powder. But I stretched my foot there and went on. As more and more people were slowing down and walking I got totally in my zone and plowed on. The sunset while running was pretty beautiful. The last km lots of people were cheering my name, reading it of the tag on my chest, that was pretty sweet. The finish line was brightly lit and it was like having a near death experience, moving towards the light 😜. And Alex was waiting for me there with lots of love, food and flowers! So, 20 weeks of training, and I made it, I am superproud of myself! Key tips; always keep eating until the last 10k. Walk at every drinking post, dont keep running and choke. Listen to podcasts like the one from Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes (Jay and Silent Bob Get Old) and alternate with motivational upbeat music (Disturbed - Indestructible for example). Time 4:03:10, 42,32 km, see runmeter/e129e86c4c49ba78/Run-20140621-1904, average 5:45.
