First Out Of Town Race, South Tangerang City

Hello everyone...

2024 is coming to an end. At the beginning of this year I started something new. If in previous years I only hung out at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, this year I routinely run there.

That's because I participated in several running events this year, so I have to practice more often considering I rarely ran before. When I first participated in a running event, I set a target that this year I had to get at least 3 medals. That target has been achieved, I even got five medals. However, out of the five medals from the five running events, all four were running events held at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium Area. Now I want to tell you how I finally dared to take a running event outside Jakarta. Although the distance is not far, BSD Tangerang is out of town for me.

To participate in this running event, I requested off duty for two days. The day before the event, I left home for Tangerang by train. Because I would be gone for two days, I packed all my equipment in my suitcase. I left from Palmerah station which was only 3 minutes from home, then continued my journey to Cisauk station. I left at 11 am so that I wouldn't be late when I arrived at the venue to pick up my racepack.

My journey to Serpong Station, Tangerang went smoothly. The obstacle occurred when it started to rain and the roads started to get congested. The car was late picking me up at the station so I was late arriving at the venue. My friend was already waiting and had already picked up his racepack.

When I arrived at the venue, the queue was already long. I didn't have time to chat with my friend, then immediately took the queue before it got dark. Of the several running events before this, this running event was the longest in collecting race-packs. Even so, this was not the worst. I think they had their own reasons for that.

On the day, my two friends and I were very excited to finish this running event. The BSD City area was very clear from pollution in the morning, I could even see fog, a natural phenomenon that I had never seen in Jakarta. BSD really gave a pleasant impression.

I did not get discouraged from going on vacation to this area. Long story short, I finished 7.2 KM with difficulty because I had underestimated this event so I didn't do any training beforehand. Even so, I was happy to be able to finish this paid event. This year I finished the paid running event and will look for a free running event. Hehehe
