| Bali Marathon 2015's beautiful finisher tee and medal |
Well, after seeing the photos and positive feedback given by Tey Eng Tiong, a famous Malaysian journalist cum runner com photographer who was invited to run last year as media representative, I told myself that Bali Marathon 2015 was definitely going to be a marathon in different venue that I would want to experience this year.
I managed to complete 42 km in net time of 4 hours 3 min 23 sec. A bit disappointed at my time because my previous 3 full marathon races were all sub-4 hours. I have still so much to learn and improve to make sub 4 as consistent as possible. I shall continue to improve on my running technique - and perhaps start to learn about strategy - especially when it comes to joining a race in hot weather and hilly routes.
Anyway, I have also learned that there are so much more than timing in running! :)
The richness of Bali culture I soaked in nd the unique experience that I went through in thousands of steps over 42 km distance covering 3 villages were more than enough to make up for my little disappointment! Oh - who could forget those smiling faces of kids cheering on? :)
So here I am - writing rave reviews for Bali Marathon 2015 giving you 5 reasons why I love Bali Marathon and why you should too!
