Out of the world experience!!

It feels truly amazing... To watch a crowd of thousands warming up and jostling for space at the starting area.. Watching the Orange-Red ball rise over Mumbai's skyline while running on the sea link... Getting your bit of inspiration on watching the professionals literally sprint across on the other side... Running on our very own Marine Drive... Getting a dash of energy from the cheering crowd on the sidewalks...

Until I got to the last couple of kilometres before the finish line... A gruelling patch... But all of the above bundled up with the enthusiasm of running 21 km for the first time, just beats the fatigue.. I almost sprinted the last 200-300 metres to finish line.. The gross timing was around 2 hrs 3 minutes.. Just within the target of 2 hrs 5 minutes.. This one did go down to the wire!

So ppl, the results are simple.. Those who bet on me (Rs.18K) won.. Their winning is Rs.6K... Half of this (Rs.3K) goes to the Green Cause, and winners get to keep the other half. Though, you always have an option to donate your winnings and the money you bet for the Cause...

Of the winners,
Sourabh (1000 +166) , Kaushik (1000+167), Shree (1000+167) and myself (5000+833) have decided to give our bets and winnings for the cause.. So, we have collected Rs. 12,333/- .. Guess we are moving closer to the targeted amount, but still some way to go..! Need your supporting hands, friends!
