My experience @wipro_bengaluru_marathon 

Previous night, I had done all the prep & finally lied down at 11PM. But I couldn’t sleep 😭 I just kept twisting & turning...
Somehow dozed off around 2AM & had to wake up at 3:30AM. So yeah… 1.5 hrs of sleep before a HM. Great start already...but anyways....

Got ready, had my go-to bread + banana + honey combo & reached the venue. And DAMNNN, the crowd!! Felt like half of blr was there lol :p

Since my zone was B, I got ahead of most of the crowd. Took out my phone to turn ON Strava… only to realise I had OFFLOADED it (ugghhh my iPhone storage issues). Tried reinstalling it, but the net there was sooo bad. After 5 mins, I looked behind & saw a BIGGG flock of Zone C runners rushing towards me 💀

I thought atp: f*ck Strava, RUN before they step on me lmaooo

Started running & finally installed Strava around 700m in. Despite the chaotic 1st km, the rest of the race was sooo nice :) Beautiful route, amazing crowd & sooo many people cheering us on! Cubbon Park around the 2nd km felt like home, then Vidhan Soudha & onwards…

Around 12km, I badly twisted my ankle because of the uneven road + crowddd. Had to sit down & genuinely thought I might not be able to continue :(

I resumed slowly walking/jogging past Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurudwara, I prayed to the Lord to give me strength 🙏🏻 Somehow, the pain felt much lesser after that. I picked up the pace & kept going.

Then around 16km, someone stopped me: “Are you Samarth?” He said he’d seen me on Insta, loved my content & asked for a picture. It felt surreal. People were actually recognising me after just a few months of creating content!? 😭 It genuinely made my day. Met so many lovely people before & after the race too :))

At 19km, dizziness + cramps kicked in. Had caffeine, carbs & electrolytes & pushed through. I really wish I’d carb-loaded properly the previous day 😒

Got some physio, water & finally sat down to sink it all in. Breakfast was absolute shit ngl💀 so obviously chhole bhature had to save the day hehe XD

Grateful to everyone whom I met❤️❤️❤️ Could’ve been faster, but still…a good finish :)

We’re coming back stronger very soon!!
