Well,I took part in the Marathon today. As usual, nothing started on time. Although people were there from 5 a.m registration started only after 6:30. had to practically wait for 2:30 hours for the Race to start.
One thing i found funny.. ALTHOUGH THE MARATHON WAS FOR A CLEAN COCHIN THE RACE ITSELF MADE COCHIN DIRTY. ONE JUST COULD GUESS THE ROUTE TAKEN BY THE RUNNERS BY LOOKING AT ALL THOSE WASTE WATERBOTTLES STRREWN ALL OVER THE ROAD. wELL SO MUCH FOR THE CLEAN COCHIN INITIATIVE.
Just an advertisment Gimmick, if you ask me.
Any way i complete 10 km stretch as i promised myself.
