Trackback Well as they read, they came 2nd. Media Marathon de Quito , and I decided to participate.
For those who do not know anything about sports is the half marathon race of 21 km.
For several months I went back to sports and decided to buy a bicycle to return to the Mountain Bike, then started jogging as a routine and got to lose 20 pounds in 3 months!, Was weighing 181 lbs, now I am in the 160 to 165 lbs .
Now I am well It's been hard to get back in shape but I feel good to return the sports that I love, besides enjoying practicing much I owe to Myriam (my girlfriend) and that encouraged me to return to practice.
Since the fixed idea of participating but with many nerves and fear began to train with a little routine with my friend Luchin, get up every morning to go running in the Carolina Park and walk at least about 9 miles a day, other days we are dedicated to the bike as you can see on the graph.
Luchín, I, Paul The weeks were short, and missing exactly 2 weeks I had an injury which questioned my participation in the competition, training occurred in a basin, the doctor advised me not to train an entire week and rest for the next week responded little to go seeing my condition, I eventually recommended that if 2 days before the competition could meet without any hassle 11 km could compete on Sunday, as they believe? complete 15 km without any hassle, so I was very sure I could meet the tour.
I took very seriously the competition found out about diet, and rest days before the competition, I focused and rest the previous days, with the help of the Choko I designed a shirt with which I ran, XtreM3 Yourserlf (ExtreMat yourself) , everyone in the office did not know whether competition would end, had been running up to 15 km without difficulty, but 21 km is 21 km.
Competition arrived, we found Luchin to walk to the Plaza de Toros , a starting point of the competition, began to stretch and warm up, the nerves but the adrenaline took over the opaque, and asked us to move on to the check, and ready out, I just listened to the music of my ipod, and did not hear was going on around competition ... started it and began to run, little by little legs were loosening, at one point that I even started to hurt and not I think we had completed or 1 km, I think more were the nerves.
They began to pass the miles, time 6 minutes per mile Marcab was very good and well we all the way, at some mile we climbed the weather is recuperated in the next, in 3000 there were competitive athletes, had never been in a competition so great, there were times that some people get in the circuit.
Advance and advance in the competition until we got to meet half of the same 10 km, we were able to stop there because there was a form of pellets, or follow the truth at that point I decided to go the distance only saw the flag Military School Eloy Alfaro, saying that the return is the goal.
We Luchin together at the 18 km where I was late because I began to trouble the knees, some athletes began to fall and get cramps in their legs, others began to walk and just wanted to get, I asked for strength, and only 3 km more, we're close, saw the monument of half the world at the end, where the competition ended, I saw him getting closer, my knees ached with every step because I decided to walk at mile 20 but was more painful , so I kept running, and I could see the goal, arrives and I did, I did!! 21 km in 2h: 04m: 45s, I was so glad I did, I did a great goal to finish the competition and I did.
This was the official result Really when you propose something you can do, thanks for having supported bold, with acolytes Luchín competition.
I will tell you that such was the effort I had in this competition, which for a week can not walk properly, I could not download or climbing stairs, worst of all was that the following week was the election and the seat of Rafael Correa has 5 floors and no elevator.
The official shirt and medal (eye only come to those who complete the competition) Comments RSS Trackback
