Countdown to the London. Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon says 9 hours and something to the start time. So on the 10:10:10 at 10:10:10am i should be running with 14,000 other awesome souls. So needless to say pretty exited as well as butterflies going all over the place with excitement. Can i finish it. Will i get injured, can i keep up with the pace, will i get a good start position, am i ready for this, can i go to sleep or will i wake up?
So after months of looking forward in a super geek way, now it is nearly here. So no looking back, just going to go there thinking it is yet anther training run, and just have to take it as hitting the dance floor with some seriously ugly moves and thinking Yep, they are awesome and go for it. Have to enjoy the moment i guess.
Me, i run behalf of the The Royal Parks Foundation , Out of all the charities listed why i chose them. Firstly i can give back for them giving me the amazing Roayl parks of London to run around free as a bird. I decided to give all my targeted amount by myself to say thank you. According to their website; "Our small team of enthusiastic fundraisers is currently focused on raising the £1.8million needed to create a fantastic, new, eco-friendly education centre for Londons young people in the heart of Hyde Park. We have already raised £1million - your support will help us reach the target!". So if you are the giving for the good type for good causes here some thing to consider and the link_is http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=anthonydesilva-1. I say thank you.
The organisational aspect for the for the event must say is excellent. Saw the marquees going over the week. So saw it being building up day by day. Today seems like, they all set up and ready to rock and roll. Website is excellent. Very nicely designed. Very informative. They kept informed about the buildup as well as what is going on on a regular basis via email and facebook. So kudos for the organising committee.
Even to get the race-pack took less that five minutes on the line. So as a tip for the dodgy minded and want a beautifully designed t-shirt for free. Honestly speaking, have to wait for another year though. Firstly go the race office on the day before the race. Earlier the better and location is, the open area in the Hyde Park near the Kensington High Street. Tell anyone who politely serve you that your name is Smith or Brown as these are the most common names in UK and out of 14,000 guaranteed you going to find this name. If you are blatantly obvious that your name is not Smith, then try "Patel". Then they would ask "is your first name Tomtom" or whatever. Say yes. And then who-la get the race pack with a t-shirt with that awesome design and made with bamboo for free. This is for sake of trying to be funny but dont try that. Bad karma.
So hope everyone have a nice race and get a good time.
