1. The race began by 7:00 AM. They had called us to stadium by 5:00 AM.

2. They had announced the start time as 6:00 AM.

3. I reached to a red chair under Ashok tree in Gandhi Smarak Bhavan after my lunch in Deendayal Rasoi.

4. It was day 21 in Deendayal Rasoi.

5. I told marathon details to some people who asked me questions because I was wearing T-shirt and bib given by the organizers.

6. It took me 200 minutes to cover 30 kilometres. It took me about five more to reach highway, where I got into a taxi.

7. My measurements were not wrong. The board on Jhan Jhan Devi said it was a six kilometres distance. I measured my time. It was 21 minutes. Double of that is 42 minutes for 12 kilometers. Then: triple of that is 126 minutes for 36 kilometres. Which means 30 kilometres should take about (126-21=105 minutes)

8. The measurement in point number 7 are accurate. I took couple of pissing breaks. Kept walking as fast as I walked that day and ran as well. The first lap of jogging was about 23 minutes followed by shorter laps of jogging and longer laps of walking.

10. The winner Anees Thapa works in Indian army in Hyderabad. He completed race in 1H30M53S

11. Out of 1034 participants 400 completed the race.

12. Despite my being very slow in finishing the race: it was a joy. Runner’s high is a recognised phenomenon. I had not walked or ran so long at a stretch ever before. I would like to thank organizers, participants and everyone else for this program which promotes fitness.
