WHAT AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE !
I just come back from attempting my first Marathon in about 5 years.
But also my first international Marathon.
All thanks to my friend Adam, who invited me and made the whole trip possible. It's genuinely been one of the most amazing experiences of my life..
The Marathon was in Riga, Latvia, which if you haven't been, GO! It's amazing everyone's so welcoming and supportive. π
The event itself was organised by .latvija and I must say it was so well organised, the route was perfect, with lots of support throughout by the race staff and not to mention the people of Latvia were out supporting us runners too. π
They even had a choir singing on one of the main sections of the route, which if you were in that moment, it was really special, the energy you got from hearing them sing, as you past them... Outstanding. π
Anyway, I put a little video together, and had to edit and rip out all the music I put in because of copyright laws π€¦π€·πΌπ€£ So it is what it is, if you wanna have a watch please do.
Unfortunately, for various reasons I'd done zero training, not clever and I definitely don't recommend.
Again a massive thank you to all Involved in organising, but also to the people of Riga, Latvia π π π
Finally a massive thank you to Adam π who also took part and done incredibly well.π
