On 1 December, I did a race in my hometown, previously this event was also held last year, but at that time I did not participate because my vacation schedule could not be adjusted to the event.
Unlike the last BANTEN 5K RUN, this time the BANTEN 10K RUN was held not too far from my mother's house. But still far from my workplace because I have to travel 3-4 hours.
RACEPACK COLLECTION
H-1 race, from my office I went straight to my hometown where the racepack was taken, after 4 hours of travel. At 5 pm upon arrival in Anyer, I immediately went to pick up the racepack collaction with my sister. With a large number of participants, I felt quite confused why it was not divided into two days for this RPC collection, because when I arrived at the location, the line was still long and snaking. Plus the retrieval took a very long time. And we only finished at 7.30pm.
There was nothing special in the contents of the RPC this time, I only got a no bib with a goodie bag. The only special thing was the location because it was near the beach, the participants could take pictures on the beach.
RACE DAY
At 5.00am, my sister and I headed to the race venue. Upon arrival we warmed up and waited for the flag off. We started running at 6:15am. Of course, the road was not completely sterile. Because the course only has 1 lane, so vehicles take the right side of the road.
The first pace was 9:12/km. At kilometers 6, 7, and 8 I was in a slump. I felt like giving up because the sun was already high, and my legs were already weak. But I kept trying until I finally reached the final kilometer. With an avg pace of 9:39/km. with a moving time of 1:35:32. Very slow isn't it? That's right, I should have practiced more before the race to improve my endurance.
FINISH
After arriving at the finish, I got refreshments, but unfortunately I only got a bottle of mineral water, did not get an additional banana or isotonic drink because it ran out. I don't know how I ran out, but what else? And then I got my medal, then took a picture with my friends.
Since the location was near the beach, I felt a little less annoyed, we enjoyed the beach and took as many pictures as we could and enjoyed the music that was organized.
