The runner took part in the 10km race and walked to the station in light rain. The two climbs and descents in the second half were difficult, but the runner ran with the encouragement of the spectators. The clean arena and efficient bag drop operation also helped reduce race-day stress.
“My watch showed a time of 39 minutes 19 seconds.”
