Prague Half Marathon 2009

Well, yeah, one more half-marathon was completed by me, and I had 2 more fingernails dropped from my feet. Although my target was to finish it in less than 2 hours, I could only finish it in 2:06:00, and the improvement from last year was only 00:1:48. I had smooth run till 17th km, and after that my condition dropped fast. The rest of the run was mental fight. I missed 2 weeks of training in February due to sickness and Venice trip, so the affect was obvious. Not satisfied with the result, but satisfied with having completed another long run. No major injuries, so I can continue to do sports soon again. This time I ran in team category, our team EXATEC (university in Mexico) included myself, Cesar(Mexico), Blanca(Spain) and Gabriela (Slovakia). Each of us completed all 21+ km and deserves both thumbs up!

Below are my results:

Split	Time	min/Km	Delta	min/Km	RealTime
5 Km	0.28.21	5,40	0.28.21	5,40	0.27.52
10 Km	0.57.13	5,43	0.28.52	5,46	0.56.44
15 Km	1.25.30	5,42	0.28.17	5,39	1.25.01
Finish	2.06.00	5,58	0.40.30	6,38	2.05.31
