"I guess that’s all forever is. Just one long trail of nows. And I guess all you can do is try and live one now at a time without getting too worked up about the last now or the next now."

Running & Living Gurgaon Half Marathon
Exactly 2 weeks after the Airtel Delhi Half I ran the Gurgaon half on the 5th December. Happy to say I finished in 2 hrs 16 min 07 secs as per the timing chip. This timing is 11 mins better than the ADHM. The split timings show a constant speed which is very good, that means the stamina was spot on.
Approx speed - 6min 26 secs per km or 9.37 km/hr .
I think I could have gone faster though... In anycase I will have a chance in the Mumbai half marathon on Jan 16th !

The Pearl Izumi streak worked well. This was the first race this year that I ran without my speedometer, but timed myself per km. Some pics of Sue the Volunteer at the event and me running :
Before the race, just starting warm up, sue watching on slightly amised at the sight of the crazy running people
in the process, still too cold :
I am off and sue starts her volunteer work, making certificates & recording timings :
Me during the run, the sun's just coming up !

Airtel Delhi Half marathon November 2010
Airtel delhi Half Marathon
Not withstanding the last nite jitters of not feeling enough trained and ready for the half, I did finish it , with better timings than the previous year. Though my Polar says 2 hrs 26 mins, the timing chip says 2 hrs 27 mins 7 secs, little things.
Here is the official result :
Split timings :
Rishi Madan - Bib :4307
Category:Open Gender :Male
7.5 Km : 0:54:44
10 Km : 1:12:27
11.9 Km : 1:25:58
15 Km : 1:46:24
19.3 Km : 2:15:40
Gross Time: 2:32:00
Net Time : 2:27:07
So I did the 2nd 7.5 , 3mins less, not bad considering that i should have been tired after running 7.5 kms !
Category Rank - 2113 of 5260 which makes me a finisher in the top 40% of the class. Not bad ! Cant say I achieved anything similar in School ! So if there were 10 students, i would be 4th in class and best in my 'class' . HA ha ha.
