Making as many friends as I can…
Talking to as many runners as I can. Asking them where they are from and how they got started running. I also told them that this is my first marathon. And that if they recognize me laying down on the side of the road, could they please hit the Pause button on my Garmin watch and THEN call for medical help? A heftily build German guy asked me if they could just drag me to the finish line.
I let him know it would work better that way 🙂
btw, I am yet to meet an Indian…
My biggest marathon memories are about dragging people just by words across the finish line
Funnily I know of someone from Mumbai who’s running – she normally does ultras so this one’s a walk in the park for her 🙂
I think I missed her….
Rajib give your best….you’ll do it
All the best Rajib
Well said Sethu, the power of fellow runners motivating words is immense – as I myself have witnessed in the half marathons I have participated in
Anish, I did not realize you had been running for a long time. That is pretty cool…
Best wishes Rajib.
I guess you will have to meet us in Dallas for the Dallas Marathon – there is good share of Indians running in the DFW area.
Chanda, I did the Dallas half marathon in 2010. And as you mentioned, there were many Indians there. It was a very cold day which helped me put my career best 1:54 half marathon.
