REXONA RUN: MY FIRST 7.2K

Hii Hive Runners, how are you? I hope you're all well and running comfortably this winter.

Last week, I just completed another race that I've been looking forward to since a few months ago. Why was I so excited? Probably because I thought it would be my last race of the year. But it looks like it won't be the last one. Haha. I don't know.

RACEPACK COLLECTION

The day before the race, my friends and I took the racepack collection, because I came on the last day of collection and it was also raining from the morning, so we experienced a long and snaking collection queue. But fortunately we were still able to receive it despite the long wait. This time I got two jerseys in this race. The main jersey for runners and one for supporters.

Of course, what made me even happier was getting a lot of contents in the racepack.

After getting the racepack, we went back to the hotel which was not far from the venue. Even though my house is only 30 minutes away from the venue, I chose the hotel to get the closest distance and not be late for the race tomorrow.

Race day

We woke up around 3:45am and got ready. And we left at 5:00 am, we walked from the hotel to the venue. Many runners also did the same thing. Arriving at the venue, it was already very crowded. And before starting, it turned out that the organizers had prepared drinks before we ran, so we enjoyed isotonic drinks first and then walked to the starting line and warmed up.

After the flag off at 5:45. I started running with my first pace of 9:19. I thought the course would be the same as the 910 ONEDECADE course yesterday, but it was not. There were a lot of high altitude trails, making me tired and out of breath. And every 2km there was a water station. And in between, there were some team cheering.

I finally completed 7.2km with an avg pace of 9:21/km. With a moving time of 1:07:31. Yup this time was slower because of the unusual course.

FINISH

After finish , I got a beautiful medal. This is the medal I've been waiting for. Because this medal can be opened and there is a necklace in it. Isn't that great?

And I continued to take pictures with my other friends.

Hopefully I can join REXONA RUN again next year.
