My first Full Marathon run

Ran my first full marathon distance on Independence Day 15th of August ..This was a hell of a ride and a lifetime experience I must say..

I decided to start early by around 4:30am was up and ready with all the preparations for my run but it was raining the whole night and it wouldn't stop, I kept waiting till the sun rise the rain kept pouring and it was a heavy downpour ! I by then had waited alonost for 2 hrs with all my gear on and then finally I decided to take a nap for a while. It was at 8:30 am the rain stopped that's when I decided to give it a go..

Though it had rained the whole night it was warmer and humidity was high and the sun was out started my run for the first 20kms it was a comfortable zone after that I felt the heat and humidity got dehydrated and to a mistake of mine took a complete pack of ORS powder in a wrong way which dehydrated me further and at 22nd kms had to puke 🤢

At this point all the liquids were out but I still continued as I had made up my mind to complete my run the weather got hot and humid got knocked off at 33.5kms mark was lying on the road for a minute then started run / walk method and somehow completed my run last 3 kms ran with cramps on my calves.. They say running a marathon is a lifetime experience yes it was !

Whatever in life just never give up ! This is the learning from my first FM run
