Sunfeast 10K is back! The marathon, it has been said, is a journey, not a destination.
The second edition of the Sunfeast 10K Bangalore, claimed to be the richest 10k run in the world, was in our city on May 31, 2009.
To experience a pleasant Sunday morning!
I never been a good runner in my life. Never tried in any track event. But some where in my heart there was a feeling that some day I will be the part of some this kind of event. Finally my dream came true.
The engorgement done by friends really works.
Some 2months back I got a itching to start something which will help me to loose some extra pounds. I tried dieting. But really it doesn’t work .Not because the idea was not worthy enough but it’s not fit to my life style. I am kind of foodie person. Love to cook. Have a strong passion to cook and serve different kind of food. So it really don’t work for me. Then one more idea kicked in to my mind to do some physical workout.
But there was a problem, it’s big deal for me to wake up early and do exercise. Evening as well after office no mood to go for it.Ya tried for couple of days but failed.
Finally planed and started coming to office with friend, in his bike. Going back by walk.15/20 days I did the same then feel better. Mean while got the news abt 10k marathon .Idea was not bad ,Now its time to check the stamina as well make self more social.So registered.
Later come to know 3 another persons also took part in that event. Great.
It’s time for little practice for 10k.Not done as per the plan same reason Laziness u can say.
Day came. Friday 29th I and one of my friend Shaiju went to the venue, Kanteerava Indoor Stadium. Collected the Bib number and goody bag with some race details.
31st May 2009 6.30am, as usual Have to pick up Shaiju from home .That fellow what to say …A good sports man but…….any how u make it to reach the stadium by 7.20am.Some how manage to park my bike. Rush in. All set for the race. Was a nice feeling to be a part of such a well organized international event. Feeling great.
This Africans hands up to them yar …Doing too good. You can see the ranks.Ya cheers to Indians as well for the participation and the sprit.
8.10am run started ..waw such a big crowd. So much energy.Great yar ..The mean of the run for a cause is now seemed to be pictured in side all Indian heart.
The event had six races - World 10K, Nation's Challenge 10K, Open 10K, Majja Run 10K, Sr. Citizens' Run 4K and Wheelchair Event 4K. The money generated from the event would be donated to Bangalore Care, a non-governmental organization.
I was the part of open 10k.
The arrangements are too good. Point to point water bottles, toilets, glucose packs, Cheer leaders.
Every km gap u can see the all age group people standing and encouraging the runners. They are with drums, plank cards. It was so nice.
I completed in 1:24:24 time. The time I reached at the end point feeling great. The happiness was ruling over the tiredness. It was wonderful. Got the participation certificate. Went to the refreshment tent got a packet with 1 apple,1 sweet bun, 1 lt. water bottle and a biscuit packet.
Around 11.30am head back home with lots of memories.
After some day I saw my pic on the website www.marathon-photos.com with a time certificate. Got lots of appreciation and congratulation greetings from all friends and colleagues.
It’s little bit late , but feel like to share the same with you all. So …
Cheers
