run Zo run

Distance: 10km
Time: 47 min and 51 sec
Position: 52/232

At first, I did it only for fun, not caring about placement. But once I figured that I actually run as a representative of the school, I decided to run as quickly as I can.

The 1st proper run was just few weeks back, after I got back from the brief Cro visit. Though I swim basically every day, I haven't run at all in the few months before the run. And so it was rather crazy to set a goal of keeping up with marathon running colleague, even though he said that the run was only a recovery run for him as he just ran a half-marathon few days earlier.

First 5kms was nice and easy; the last couple was a real struggle accompanied with a, now funny, in-between-ear conversations about stop-cannot stop... I give credit to the ego for not letting me stop, and finish 25sec behind my marathon colleague. As far as I can remember, this was the most exhausting physical thing I ever did... - nothing left in the tank - nice...!
