Fantastic run at 2nd Gurgaon Marathon on Dec 6th
As always, it was a great show put up my Rahul and his team for the
2nd Running and Living Gurgaon marathon. Thanks, we all had fun and
enjoyed every bit of it. Let me tell you guys something - it will be
difficult to find bananas, biscuits, Gatorade, and chips at all water
stops all the way on a full marathon route - but these guys did it!!!
For the record, this was my second best marathon at 4:48 and not
surprisingly, Gurgaon last year happens to be my fastest to date! I
had done just 3 runs in all since Nov 1st including the ADHM, and the
3rd DRHM at Jahanpanah, so I could not have asked for anything better.
So, who else was there, do share your experience. I also think the
traffic folks did an amazing job of keeping the vehicles out of the
stretch!

Hi Tanvir, me too were there for the half marathon.Clocked a modest 2hr.24mts.(11 mts. lesser than ADHM'09)! today ran a practice run of 21.1 k in indirapuram / noida, with 2hr.17 mts. Only started long distance running since September'09. Is my time improvement rate in Half marathon satisfactory. u being an experienced runner, can throw light on this issue quite rightly! Also, pl let me know if u have any contact no./e_mail address of Chandigarh H/M-30.01.2010 organisers, for registrations.
Regards and wish u better running in future as well,
anurag, indirapuram (Gzb).

Hi Anurag, thats a decent improvement in a short span of time! Candigarh marathon is on Jan 31st, not 30th (it was earlier scheduled for Feb 7th). Will post details of registration when they are available (maybe in another couple of weeks or so). Where do you usually run in Indirapuram? I guess Swarn Jayanti Park area is the only decent place.
Regards
Tanvir
