Cold and windy weather. First 3-4k ran 5min/km, which is very good pace for me. This hit me a bit in the end. But you run along with people mass and they kinda make you go faster. My first race. Very proud.

First 5k slower.

Just stretching around two minutes.


I maybe should have put less weight in terms of clothes. I ran with hooded sweatshirt because of cold and windy weather. But I noticed I shouldn't have done differently because I am intolerant to cold (unfortunately). Once I warmed up, I believe this backed me down (especially in the last 5k), but I am very satisfied overal with my decisions considering complete race.

Pre-race injuries
Left knee - lateral/colateral ligament pain when under stress
Right ankle - By feel I would say it's Calcaneo fibular ligament
I felt my ankle ligament some 10 days before the race, and it didn't stop hurting. During the race I felt it all the way.


My first race. Very proud of my time.

Ankle ligament (right foot) problem before the race made it more harder for me to run. The same day (afternoon) ankle little swollen.
