Exciting days ahead

November 25, 2008

Its getting tense and quite edgy as days go by. Just a few days to go for the CRY Cadence Corporate Citizenship Challenge (5Cs), where I will be participating in Badminton. The practice has not been exactly great, but I am looking forward to the carnival like atmosphere at Modern school, with 45 member teams coming from 16 companies. That makes it 720 participating people alone, and one hell of a crowd.

Meanwhile, runs for Mumbai marathon are going more or less on track. Missed the big one this weekend, but hope to be back to regular training again. It is really difficult to devise a strategy for the run, and I have been thing of some ways:
1. Do an even 1st and 2nd 21Ks, only running
2. Go all out for the first 21K, and then walk/run the rest
3. Follow a run/walk strategy with a 6:1 split

Currently, I am biased towards the third. I will try this in some of my long runs, and see how am I holding up, and then decide.

Is it an open event? I mean people can come as audience other then participators.

All depends upon the Modern school security. They may or may not allow people not related to the event to come in. But, I guess it would not be hard enough to bluff your way in if your really want. As Charles Sobhraj once said… “Their desire to keep me locked up, is no match, for my will to be free”. Well actually, he is probably still in jail :)

Got your point.

These days too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death.
