Came sunday, it was race day with enough hype around town. More than 20,000 folks all geared up with their music players and water bottles, and everyone was ready to hit the road. The Open 10k category had about 8000 people participating, all of them eager to finish their ten kilometers. The route was well mapped, started off at the Kanteerava Stadium and all through Cubbon Road. I had a well thought of playlist which helped me avoid water stops, inspiring me at every step to run that extra mile! (had some Aerosmith, Daft Punk, Brad Sucks, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stereophonics and Goo Goo Dolls). The run was terrific and I managed to finish off 10k in just less than an hour (59 minutes to be precise). One hell of an experience I should say! Looking forward to more runs like this one, hopefully a marathon. Peace to all the runners of the world.
