I'll be short. I did it! 14' 41" ![20180304_143810.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYEsWr1owCBFaxpTSTn8WwpUjPi2YDdzdxcFRipvCH4Ae/20180304_143810.jpg) ![Screenshot_2018-03-04-14-16-32.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSmP417HEtByLNi6PL7Qa7faEXsnhgKgdvYXLmtbBnoeV/Screenshot_2018-03-04-14-16-32.png) ![20180304_114736.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNwXPDCkg62mUuUYuR9ymRFEhm2kRvQ275Awg9LL6HdV6/20180304_114736.jpg) But what a day, you have to read this. First, I wanted to go to event by foot, because it was near our place we live. About 4-5km. My husband went alone, because I was not ready yet. Anyway, I didn't mind, because I don't like to talk while I run. I went alone, through the shortest possible route. Somewhere after 2km I realised that I missed the path I wanted to run through. I happen to find myself twice in wrong direction, since I was deep in my thoughts. I almost missed the race I'd been talking about for days. I picked up my number at 11:12 ( race was planned at 11:15). My husband was already at the start line. He is much faster, so he went away while I did my tempo. In the beginning I felt great. Almost all the time speed was above 10.5km/h. After 1st km, I already felt that I had to slow down, otherwise I wouldn't be able to breathe normally. And, the last 500m were challenging, I have to say. I felt my heart was beating enormously. I've got afraid and tried to focus on breathing and keeping tempo not going down. Although before the race I planned to speed up. It wasn't possible. Last 50m: At these last moments, all that I remember was that I heard people around me, but I didn't see anyone and anything except the board with red digits:D... 14:34...14:35...14:36... I felt like I was in a tunnel, focusing to escape as soon as possible. What a crazy feeling! I can't describe it but I am sure that all of you know and remember your first races and beginner's joy. My husband already finished race, and waited for me. He finished in 10:33. Very good result. This is the first time he competed in so short race. He prefers long distance trails, but came to this race because he would anyway run, as he usually does on Sunday. We went to ask about the results, because we thought that he might be on first place..But organizers said we had to check on internet later. So, I went home, he went to run one easy training. On the my way back home I had time to make some pictures of the place where the Trappenbergloop held today. ![20180304_115926.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTV1ooQXeN9gZtBk6iHjNwcGqxtsE31nBH6McUDj8hTXR/20180304_115926.jpg) ![20180304_120801.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcUAMW4xxQPW2X3DVBZBLiBvBu2uvhJhdFGWYvgvbJaz8/20180304_120801.jpg) ![20180304_120908.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfCaLPbCkaLn2j55QG1WjDWHBCZkkH3sSM8KKr7oMEJ2m/20180304_120908.jpg) And now, the results: My husband finished as first! :) About me...Read the highlight of the day: 15th place in men's category. Nice! I really hope they are going to correct soon. ![IMG_20180304_175501_269.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQK3DgLUnUiHvHQMDpsKad6NCYABFCTcnYszomtU2abmK/IMG_20180304_175501_269.jpg) When they correct it, I guess I could be at 5th place in women's category. I'll update you! Update: I've finished on 7th place (35 competitors in women category, 2.5km). Cannot be happier at this moment! Thanks for reading and thanks for the support.
