“I still feel proud finisher medal Yay!”

The dusty section in the latter half and the finish line, which felt farther than expected, were challenging, but the runner was satisfied with the baggage storage, performances, and souvenir.

In the 10km Group A, the runner controlled their pace early on and increased it from the middle of the race to achieve their 50-minute goal. The course became narrow after 7km as they joined the 5km runners, but they were satisfied with the event they attended with their family and the finisher's item.

⏱️ 최종 기록: 48분 52초 완주 성공!
Read the original on 네이버 블로그“My first 10km time: 1:07:36!”
In the runner's first 10km race, their body felt heavy after 7km, the longest distance they had practiced, so they mixed in some walking for a while. The runner then recovered their pace and finished the race, and also enjoyed the event booths and souvenirs.

나의 첫 10km 기록 1시간 7분 36초!
Read the original on 네이버 블로그“Although it was a relatively short distance of 5 km course, I had been consistently training by running 5 km for this event, so I started full of anticipation and excitement.”
The runner took part in a first running event with the family and completed the 5km without stopping, following a usual pace. The runner was delighted to cross the finish line with the same time as the husband and receive a finisher's medal.

5키로 코스의 비교적 짧은 거리이지만 이것을 위해서 5키로를 꾸준히 달리며 준비해 왔던 터라 기대와 설레임이 가득한 채 출발했다.
Read the original on 네이버 블로그“To give the result first, I finished in 38 minutes 36 seconds, placed 6th overall, and passed finish. Fortunately, this became my 10 km PB.”
At their third Energy Hero event, the runner increased their pace early, anticipating the narrow course and the bottleneck where the 5 km runners joined. Encouraged by the pacemaker's support in the latter part, they found extra strength and set a 10 km personal record.
