Zuzmara Half Marathon
For my first race this year we collected 9% of my yearly goal for Bator Tabor donations, made me really happy considering that we ran the campaign for less than two weeks before the race. THANK YOU. So, first our of eight races this year was supposed to be fairly standard half marathon if I had any brain going into it. I have chosen the worst possible shoes for the race. Took very hard, ultra cushioned winter trail shoes thinking we're going to run in knee deep mud. We kind of a did run some 4-5KM in mud over the race course in Budapest but the rest 16KM was on a concrete. Took me 3 days to learn to walk again and luckily I got no real consequence. Time wise I was shooting for under 2 hour and made it in 2:05 which was solid considering the conditions. Looking forward to continue this great campaign and race my next one on April 15 at Wizzair Spring Half Marathon! M
