Despite the accident, I decided on Saturday night that I had to compete in the 10 km race. I didn't want to let two months of training go to waste.
On Sunday morning I was up by 6:30 a.m., I couldn't sleep beacuse I was nervous. I wondered if I would be able to finish the race.
With my friends there to cheer me on... I had to give it my best!
I ran the course in a time of 57:49 only one minute, six seconds slower than last year. I was happy though, beacuse I knew I was slower due to the accident.
Overall I finished 16 out of 53 entrants in my age category.
Afterwards I ate udon (a soup with thick noodles) and two bananas.

I am glad I ran, and I am looking forward to the next race.
