The Adverse 3:49:02

A very nice finish at my 24^th Athens Marathon (75^th in total) in 3 hours 49 minutes 😊. It is always a so great joy to run at my hometown among so many friends, runners and supporters, at a continuously growing (with more than 19.000 finishers this year) and epic Marathon from Marathon City to Panathinaikon Stadium in Athens. And facing properly the adverse conditions, with rain, high humidity, headwind and the heat at the end, coupling the famous very long slopes of this unique race (+347m upwards, -286m downwards) 😮.
