Running a Marathon in Nepal!
0#Pokhara #Marathon #Nepal
I had the opportunity to enter the Pokhara International Marathon 2020, so I jumped at the chance!
Having only run one long training run, it was a big gamble, but for the experience alone, it was worth it.
Take a look and enjoy the highlights of a unique experience!
Editors Note: I finished (about) 70th. Roughly 105 people started, about 75-80 people finished. Not quite last, but almost (as predicted).
Final time (On my watch) was 5hrs 18mins ish, official final time was around 5hrs 23mins. Puts me somewhere between my two other marathon times, so I am happy enough, although walking the last few miles hampered my efforts for a better time. Oh well, on to the next one!
Special thanks to the organizers and volunteers for putting on such a great event.
