Sunny, but windy. Familiar course track as this course is in my hometown. However, I never run along this course, but I was familiar with the area i.e. where to refrain and keep energy. On 18th kilometre I stopped and walked for one minute and ate some dried apricotes which I held in my back pocket. I had a plan to do this and it was a great move for me. The last 3k i run in 15 minutes, where I passed at last 20 runners. No one passed me.
This was my second Half-Marathon. I came at the finnish line in second equal to my first one according to my watch. Could not believe it. Official time was 3 seconds later than this first Half-Marathon I had. Very happy.

Along the course felt the knee pain as I have an oversupination issue. This pain deconcentrated me, but I held on.


I really don't know. Well hydrated, energy in my back pocket (food). Familiar with the course.

Just stretching out.


Knee pain.


Great post race activities. This was annual 10th Half-Marathon along with 15th annual day of sports in this town, which is named Homo si tec (meaning Let's all run). There were all sorts of sports activities involved (races and other sports). Even massages were organized. There were around 10.000 runners running on different courses, from babies with their parents to professionals.
Great event. Highest possible grades for the organization.
