"Una por una, colocaré las tareas delante de mí y las iré completando lo mejor que pueda. A fin de cuentas, soy corredor de larga distancia"
Haruki Murakami

El domingo 17 de Marzo finalmente @enmy @danielvehe @vandres y yo salimos a buscar nuestra medalla del #maratonCAF2024 para lo cual nos hemos venido preparando desde el mes de Diciembre aproximadamente, una jornada que comenzó a las 3:30 am al despertar para desayunar y salir con nuestros atuendos listos y un monton de deseos por terminar bien y dar lo mejor de nosotros en esa prueba.

LA EMOCION

Ya a las 5:00 am debia estar en el Parque Los Caobos, lugar donde salia la carrera, al llegar aun era de noche sin embargo ya habia muchos corredores concentrados en el mismo lugar , me dio una emoción nerviosa pero me distraje buscando el guardaropas para guardar mis pertenencias, mientras caminaba me conseguia con mucha gente conocida y entre conversas y caminata avanzaba la hora, finalmente guarde mis cosas y ya trataba de ubicarme en el corral de salida ya que tenia el dorsal 1493 corral C, entrar a los corrales al menos en esta ciudad se hace un poco engorroso.

Desde la noche anterior tenia mi muñeco de corredor preparado, que se refiere al atuendo que usaría en la carrera con todos los accesorios.

EL MARATÓN

El Maraton dió inicio a la 6:00 am puntual con la salida de los atletas de movilidad reducida, seguido de todos los demas atletas,desde el inicio se sentia mucho calor y humedad sin embargo asumi que mejoraria al distanciarse los corredores ya que estabamos alli pegados esperando para partir.

Desde el inicio fue muy emocionante ver el público aupando a los corredores desde horas tan tempranas, la hidratacion era intercalada entre agua y gatorade.

La ruta aunque ya conocida y realizada durante el entrenamiento se hacía muy dura, apenas con dos kilometros recorridos ya el sudor en exceso se hacía presente.

Al llegar al Paraiso el animo fue mayor ver a nuestra barra oficial
@leomontagg @neilamarcano @karii @enovf @graciliano y @angelik #HIVErun darme ese apoyo que nos ayuda a seguir.

Al llegar a Plaza Venezuela lugar donde se dividia las distancias 21 y 42 km, hice un analisis de mi cuerpo y sentia pesadez muy pronto a pesar de haber entrenado.

En las Mercedes volvi a encontrar a nuestra barra agradezco mucho a @graciliano que me hidrato con gatorade y corrio a mi lado un rato dandome mucho animo.

Por primera vez en el kilometro 28 me dieron ganas de vomitar me senti mareada, situacion que me puso algo ansiosa y me dió nervios solo pensar que pudiera desmayarme como le paso a un atleta en el kilometro 16.

Me distraje con otros corrredores ingeri un gel para compensar un poco el desgaste y se me pasó el malestar.

Por el kilometro 32 volvi a sentir lo mismo, sin embargo continue mi ruta ya faltaba menos pero confieso que estaba exhausta.

EL IMPULSO

Al pasar el kilómetro 37 camine aproximadamente 1 kilometro, pero me esperaba mi amiga Fermina quien culmino exitosamente sus 21 km y energicamente fue a ayudarme los ultimos 5 kilometros.

Al acercarme al kilometro 41 entre al tunel de sensaciones y emociones los gritos de apoyo eran ensordecedores y muy vibrantes, luego aparecio @vandres quien me apoyo junto a Fermina en el ultimo tramo.

RESULTADOS

Comparando el primer maraton con este maraton, puedo decir que la temperatura me golpeó y bajó mi rendimiento tanto que quedé un poco descompensada, aparte de la gripe que me dió la semana anterior, sin embargo cruce la meta y eso es MI LOGRO.

   "One by one, I will place the tasks in front of me and complete them to the best of my ability. After all, I am a long-distance runner."

Haruki Murakami

On Sunday, March 17, @enmy @danielvehe @vandres and I finally went out to look for our medal, for which we have been preparing since approximately December, a day that began at 3:30 am when we woke up to have breakfast and leave with our outfits ready and a lot of desire to finish well and give our best in that test.

THE EMOTION

At 5:00 am I should have been at Los Caobos Park, where the race started, when I arrived it was still dark, however there were already many runners concentrated in the same place, it gave me a nervous emotion but I I was distracted looking for the wardrobe to store my belongings, while I was walking I met many people I knew and between conversations and walking the hour progressed, finally I put my things away and was already trying to get into the starting corral since I had number 1493 corral C **, entering the corrals at least in this city is a bit cumbersome.

Since the night before I had my runner doll prepared, which refers to the outfit I would wear in the race with all the accessories.

THE MARATHON

The Marathon started at 6:00 am punctually with the departure of the athletes with reduced mobility, followed by all the other athletes. From the beginning it felt very hot and humid, however I assumed that it would improve as the runners distanced themselves since we were there. stuck waiting to leave.

From the beginning it was very exciting to see the public cheering on the runners from such an early hour, hydration was alternated between water and Gatorade.

The route, although already known and done during training, became very hard, with just two kilometers traveled and excessive sweat was already present.

Upon arriving in Paradise, the spirit was greater to see our official bar.
@leomontagg @neilamarcano @karii @enovf @graciliano and @angelik #HIVErun give me that support that helps us continue.

Upon arriving at Plaza Venezuela, where the distances 21 and 42 km were divided, I did an analysis of my body and I felt heaviness very quickly despite having trained.

In Mercedes I found our bar again. I am very grateful to @graciliano who hydrated me with Gatorade and ran by my side for a while giving me a lot of encouragement.

For the first time at kilometer 28 I felt like vomiting, I felt dizzy, a situation that made me somewhat anxious and made me nervous just thinking that I could faint like what happened to an athlete at kilometer 16.

I was distracted by other runners, I ingested a gel to compensate for the wear and tear and the discomfort went away.

By kilometer 32 I felt the same again, however I continued my route, there was less to go but I confess that I was exhausted.

MOMENTUM

After kilometer 37 I walked approximately 1 kilometer, but my friend Fermina was waiting for me, who successfully completed her 21 km and energetically went to help me the last 5 kilometers.

As I approached kilometer 41, I entered the tunnel of sensations and emotions, the shouts of support were deafening and very vibrant, then @vandres appeared and supported me with Fermina in the last stretch.

RESULTS

Comparing the first marathon with this marathon, I can say that the temperature hit me and lowered my performance so much that I was a little unbalanced, apart from the flu that I got the week before, however I crossed the finish line and that is **MY ACHIEVEMENT. **
