Pühapäeval toimunud Philadelphia poolmaratonil lõpetasin kõrgetasemelises seltskonnas kahekanda kohaga ning ajaks märgiti 1.04.23. Distantsi esimesed kümme kilomeetrit läbisin ajaliselt 29.48. Kuni sinnamaani liikusin koos juhtgrupiga, kuid jõeäärt mööda ülesvoolu joostes minu tempo juhtgrupiga võrreldes natuke rauges. Selles mängis oma osa seedehäired. Trass iseenesest lubas kiiret jooksu ning hea ilma ning päeva korral võiks seal kiireid aegu joosta. Sellel korral eelkõige ilma tõttu jooksid kõik eliitjooksjad endale seatud eesmärkidest 1 - 1.5 minutit aeglasemalt. Suures plaanis täitis võistlus edukalt Doha maailmameistrivõistlusteks valmistusel oma rolli.
Last Sunday I finished 8th in the Philadelphia half marathon race with the time of 1.04.23. The elite race was very high level, but the final results were not very strong due to the high humidity and warm weather temperature. My first 10K split time was 29.48. Until that I was running with the leaders. Unfortunately I had to slow down a bit because of the stomach problems. The course itself was fast and very promising. This time most of the elite's ran 1-1.5 minutes slower than their goals were. In the big picture it played a big role for my Doha World Championships preparations.
Reis ise oli omaette seiklus, sest USA idarannikuga on minu varasemad kokkupuuted kasinad. Suure linna helid, mustus, kirev elu hõivasid kõik minu meeled. Colorado linnad on selle kõrval ikka puhkus küll. Jätkan oma treeninguid Colorados kuni Doha maratonini, mis toimub 5. oktoobril.
The trip itself was an adventure itself, I don't have much experience with the US east coast. The big city life occupied all of my senses. Cities in Colorado are so much more peaceful. I am going to continue my trainings in Colorado up to the Doha marathon which will be held on the 5th of October.
