Five days before inportant event Rīgas Pusmaratons 2012 (further RP2012) I felt myself stong and poweful, hovewer destiny wasn`t agree with this so I catched some stomach virus and throughtout 72h I was sleeping, like bear in winter. Next day I`ve decided to run, but at the morning I run 200m and fall dawn - no power! neeed recharge! So I`ve tried one more time in evening - lucky ~7km. Next day I felt myself more comfotable and more or less stable and full of power - so I run ~11km. Saturday I made - FreeDay - shure with shopping and some other stuff - so no rest! Such stupid girl - that I`ve relaised in the bed at night before competition. So, include above mentioned stupidity, I went to Bikernieku Trase. Whehe I met lot`s of great people - great runners like me :)

is the power enough?

who is ready?  - i`m ready!

And shur eour Noskrien.lv team was complete - 6 paticipants with orange t-shirt with name "VSK Noskrien Divstundnieki", forther in comments you can find us like " Probably the best noskrien.lv team" ;)

run, Forest, run!

So the competition beggins - ~800 participants. Amazing! 1st lap Ive finished at 24m, nice feelings, cause I run very fast as best I can :) next lap, I statrted to think about HR - saw not so good 180... try to reduce it, but unsuccessful - 2nd lap finished at 27m. Third lap I start with one idea - idea about my pre-excercises... I understand how hard is now, without any rest. Damn! I wish I was smarter! So 3rd lap I`ve finished at 29m with HR 175, fourt was death lap. No power, no happiness, no imagination - just running... to finish. So I`ve did it for 29m with HR 175.
Hovewer, I was very glad! I`m proud of myself - after ilness and two days of running, I run 1/2marathon at BK, you know... this race wasn`t so simple - it`s one of the hardest race in LV, and my time was 1h51m! I`ve got 14th place in my group and 36th place among all women. See, not so bad ;)))
