My first marathon. I was expected the result would be in range 4.15-4.30. At the race start I was thinking what pacers I should to run with: 4.10 or 4.25. Decided to try with 4.10. And it was quite easy. Till 30 km and hills. Before it was quite a big pack of runners behind pacers. But after first hills was left only one girl and me. It was not easy, after second hill and trying to keep pace my leg’s muscles became stone-like. 5 km before finish I started feeling cramps in legs. It was awful. You have to run only 3 Km-s to the finish and it is very painful. Especially finish-line downhill. But I had to.... and I did it!
