Mumbai Marathon 2010: Post Race

The race results just came out on timingindia.com. There were lots of Delhi Runners around. In fact, I met about 8 on my train to Mumbai, and several more at the Expo and the run. Also, it was fun to meet so many runners who I have just known through emails and facebook from all over India.

My net timing was 4:52:57, a personal best at Mumbai.

Lets share our experiences and timings here.

Good:
* Frequent medical stops towards the end with helpful volunteers
* great crowd support, people offering all sorts of nourishment and encouragement all the way
* better start for full marathon runners with less crowd

Not so Good:
* Almost no toilets on the route
* No water stop on 5K sea link stretch
* no medals for half marathon finishers

My first full, 4:52:55, not bad for a first timer
I was walking km no 41 due to pain, when Tanvir came behind me, inspired me to run and both of us toghether with Ramesh crossed finish line toghether. I did 21 iin 2 hrs , but the sea-link and the lack of water slowed me down,. Running downhill from Peddar road started an attack of ITBS in right knee, causing me to slow down in km no 40 and 41.
Overall thrilling experience , but for the water issue.
Also the promised energy drink was nowhere to be seen.
