10,57,8000,426....This golden sequence has a great significance in my life when it is represented with "km,minutes,total participants,rank" in one-to-one fashion.My rear shin bone muscles aching,fat and fibres in my tummy fighting against their death,both of my shoulder movements trying to expand the chest muscles,my skull getting hotter and hotter,but mind put a full stop long before to the thought of losing the NIKE Tee(supposed to be awarded to the fastest 1500).Started at number somewhat around 4000,completed 2 kms with ease.Till half way(5km),people crossed me like a factory-outlet Ferrari passing a second hand bulldozer.Then gradually i realised the practical use of number system with units.As the distance increased,my plan of completion focused on units in a decreasing fashion..from km to m to cm ,same with the scalar part of least count.Then there was only one truth i knew,"i am moving or spinning or rotating,something driving me or dragging me forward,but still i exist on earth."cheer leaders making noise with funny gestures,volunteers passing us water bottles as if they fed up keeping that waste product with them,photographers twinkling their small magic boxes and the remaining lazy bangaloreans cheering the runners with high pitch voices was a better confidence booster compared to the commanding speech of Barack Obama.Boss,continuity is neither stable nor independent in nature.You need to be a master in LIMIT to decide CONTINUITY of something.In application to human beings,Ur WILL-POWER makes it a dependent quantity.That's what happened.I noticed a mere no. of participants walking while breathing the whole atmosphere in and out when The nearby digital metre flashed "8Kms COMPLETED". I decided to keep my pace up when noticed two beauties (one from Spain and other from Switzerland) overtaking the air resistance ahead of me .My Nike shoe cladded legs came into life and crushed every bit of dust under it and my body was being launched forward to pave the way ahead of others.The timer chip flashed "57mins 6 secs" when i hit the 10km end line.we had photo sessions with legends like maurice greene , hugh jones , Reeth abraham...etc.Post run,Foot massage and vegetable treat were awesome.
I came, I fought n I conquered the SUNFEAST WORLD10K.Now it's time to wait for the courier guy to knock my door before handing me the brand new NIKE Tee with "I am a finisher" tag shinning with colourful letters...:).
P.S.:- There was a huge mistake made in the event's database by the organisers while filling details about me,for which i am suffering since my biological physique defies my gender shown in the below link .Hope you have faith on my words and don't take the matter seriously ...:),"Running Timing details"
