Ajmera Thump - Half Marathon at Bangalore - Race Report

As part of my yearly two half marathon program, I had signed up for Ajmera Thump Half Marathon organized by Life is Calling organization. It was held at NICE Road, Bangalore on 13th Dec 2015. Few thousand people came for the event. I had participated along with my running buddies from our community Neelabh & Ashutosh. This is the first lifeiscalling race for all of us..

Weather was perfect. First two hours into the race was all cloudy & sun came up around 8am. I had tried out walk-run routine from the start. I started running for one minute and brisk walk for next minute. I continued like that for 17kms. I was going very strong. If i had continued that pace, I would have finished my HM in 2:40 or less. Unfortunately, I had got cramps in my right quadriceps. I had listened to my body and tried to stretch. Called for help from the Ambulance which is shuttling there. One Physio helped me to stretch and massaged the quadriceps. I had started again slow and finished the last 4 kms somehow. I managed to complete the whole HM in 2:56:34.

Overall, experience was good. Get more motivation to do better and practice harder. Felt great to complete two HM's in the year 2015 as well. Looking forward for 2016 to do more HMs while improving the timing.
