Running experience:
This run was my 5th 10k run and certainly one of the better ones. One of the positive factors was that this run started quite early in the morning and none of the runs that i have been part of started as early as 6:30 AM. So the start was just perfect as the run started in mild darkness under a sort of moon light. A refreshing start indeed! I ran the first Kilometer rather fast completing the same in around 5 minutes 30 seconds. For the later part of run, i ran at my normal speed. The run terrain was not plan for the entire run, there were places which were rather up and down resembling peaks and valleys. One of the things that i didnt like about the run was that most part of the run happened along with traffic in the nearby lanes. Towards the later part of the run, the traffic grew more making it a bit tough to deal with pollution straight on the face. Each run has its tough spots and for this run traffic was a thing to deal with. One of the other positive aspects being the participation of Women true to the spirit of Women's day. It was good to see Women runners in rather big numbers. I was able to complete the run in close to 67 minutes, which happens to be my fastest 10 timings. My cousin Rahul, who ran with me was as usual there at the finish line much before me.
The post run event was chaired by Reeth Abraham , one of the accomplished athletes of the past.
Overall a very satisfying run!
