Elevation: −1 m to 35 m, 95 m of climbing over 21.5 km by GPS.

The first race! In hindsight, a not so sensible choice for a first one, as the elevation adds to the difficulty, plus it was an unusually warm day with 21-22 degrees Celsius adding to the overall challenge. On top, there was a major problem with water supplies during the race and most water stations had no cups ready to be picked up when we were passing by, and had to stop and wait in a queue. Luckily, the people that lived around the route areas, assisted with every way possible by supplying us with water from their gardens. With great support from family and the gathered crowds, we made for a decent finish.

Valuable experience both for finishing the half marathon and for how to choose races for the future.
