First of all, I am grateful to God for giving me health and being able to enjoy this wonderful experience. And the big day arrived, the day that I dreamed so much and built in my head, and it takes execution with actions, working every step of this great dream, that some time ago I saw it so far away, and being already ready at the start of my first marathon, I look back and I say to myself, waoo, if dreams come true, you just have to work them, the limits are only in our head.
.
And with the excitement to a thousand, I could barely sleep a couple of hours, I was supposed to rest well that night but it was difficult, at the sound of the alarm we got up, had a light breakfast, and hand in hand with my husband @gchacin25 we went to take the transport that we had contacted recommended by the organization of the marathon to take us to the place of departure, very good service, punctual. When we arrived to Los Caobos, place of concentration of the start, we went to keep our bag, and we went to the starting corrals, we were in contact with the @hiverun team that would be in the race to take some pictures, we found first the friend @vandres, then came the friend @enmy, and later @danielvehe and @erilej, very excited and happy we took some pictures, and everyone was located in their starting point.
I warmed up a little, and very excited, with my heart beating a thousand, I kissed my husband goodbye because he runs faster than me, and with the hand of God at the end of the anthem of Venezuela, and the elite runners, and those with reduced mobility, I started the race. And here we go I said to myself controlling my pace through the strava application, in the pace that dominated my training 6: 30 - 6:00. I enjoyed every kilometer observing the route as I had never done it before, also super surprised of the large amount of runners, and all very excited enjoying the moment. The first 10K ran smoothly, and from then on, I started to work my mind, and energy with hydration and a gel. At kilometre 13, I was waiting for the climb that many runners had already told me about, there I went at a more controlled pace, because I didn't know the distance of this climb, it was shorter than I imagined, but the point here is the kilometres that we are carrying over, which makes us more uphill. I enjoyed every runner who stayed by my side for a while, some of them overtook me, others I passed them, they were like jogging companions at times. When I reached the 20th kilometre, I felt a little more difficulty, and for this last kilometre I didn't expect to find this climb more difficult than the one at kilometre 13. When I came out of the climb, seeing the arch of the finish line, I took a little bit of strength to reach the finish line, happy to cross this great arch.
Quede muy contenta con mi desempeño esto es el resultado del cumplimiento de un plan de entrenamiento, ha sido una experiencia maravillosa la cual se enalteció aun mas de la mano del gran equipo de @hiverun, al finalizar la carrera estuvimos compartiendo, y conociendo a otra parte del equipo a la amiga @rosbesalazar, y los amigos @soychalbed y @artsyjose, también estaba la amiga @neilamarcano ya a ella la habia conocido durante el retiro del material. Estuvimos todos juntos esperando a los compañeros que estaban corriendo los 42K. Al llegar a la meta lo recibimos muy emocionados, y felices, luego nos fuimos a tomar unas fotos todos juntos.
I was very happy with my performance this is the result of fulfilling a training plan, it has been a wonderful experience which was further enhanced by the hand of the great team @hiverun, at the end of the race we were sharing, and meeting another part of the team to the friend @rosbesalazar, and friends @soychalbed and @artsyjose, there was also the friend @neilamarcano and she had met her during the withdrawal of the material. We were all together waiting for our friends who were running the 42K. When we arrived at the finish line we were very excited and happy, then we all went to take some pictures together.

Muchas felicidades por tu primera Media Maratón es un orgullo llevar esa medalla porque no es una carrera fácil ni por la distancia ni por la altimetria, pero tu felicidad se nota en la cara... 🥇
Esa subida del Km20 es un último reto antes de la verdadera celebración, pero al menos es más llevadero porque sabemos que ya estamos llegando a la meta jejeje.
Felicidades por ese nuevo mejor tiempo en los 21.
