LSC 2.KĀRTA 15K & ZeltaKeda 2012

For me it was great adventure to run 15K without any rest before. So at the morning 25th of may, i wake up with smile on my face, i knew that i will check how strong my body is )) Before the race i felt myself nice, during the race - specially at the 2nd (of 5) lap i wish to die, during the last lap i wish i was dead at 2nd lap...BUT when i run to finish line i heard "look! the first woman at the finish line. It is Darya!!! Hooray!" So i felt so proud of myself ))

As u can see in results below, that i was the fist one ... prepare for next competition.

all results of me, dated 27/05/2012

 Next one was ZeltaKeda 2012 at 10th of June. Is was my fourth competition without any rest. So during four weeks i run four competitions. I prepare myself for 10K, but...something happened during fridays night, so for me was no saturday and during the race on sunday i changed my plans - to run 5K for time, and last 10K for fun )))
During the friday (mentioned above) i make a trip ~100K  on bicycle. I met very nice and funny people (cyclists), so with speed avr 25km/h we went from Mezapars to Mangalsala, and then we want to get some fun ,so we went to Jurmala )) see photos in my FB profile.
Because of this trip, in competition i run only 5k, but my time wasn`t so bad - 24:09 ;) Second 5k i was like speed keeper (SK) and my time was 26:04, last 5K i run with one great man, who gets siver medal a this competition, so also i got good time: 26:40. In sum it was 1h16min for 15K it`s great! :))) so i prepare myself for next competition - VENTSPILS PPP 3 2012. See in my next post... [hope i will run good]...

SEB 30. Tartu Jooksumaraton 13 mai 2012

Some small story about X-trail race of great 23K.
This competition was in Tartu (Eesti), so for me first competition outside LV. I had not prepared so much, cause i know that there will be more than 2 000 participants, so no hope for 1st place :))

me with yellow cap

Our voyage began at 6:45 in Riga. Then we went to Tartu, cause the SEB 30. Tartu Jooksumaraton starts at 11. During the voyage we talked about last years competition and so on about running...us usual :)) I went with 4 great guys, one girl (my age) and one lady (age group  might be W60).

This race was new for me, seems very interesting, cause i have no experience in long x-trail races. Previous was only 9K long, and it was very hard.

start

And also i`ve never seen so much participants >2 000. Interesting was to start with walking )) cause we cannot run - so much people at start(as u can   see in the picture ).

So we crossed whole town, than forest, countryside and so on...finally we finished at other town :)  (see in the map)

For me it was very funny, cause i run with lots of people young/old/symhatic/not so much :)) During the race we have lots of pit-stops: water, sports drink, bananas, bread etc. by the way i`ve made some new contacts. they might be helpful.
My result is not amazing, but not so bad ;)

Honestly, next year I definitely want to participate one more time ;)
