What a day it was !!! A lot to share , starting from last night ,The Navy Ball , we were wearing Number 6 uniform , drinking and listening to Veer Das comedy . After Veer Das , some dance performance was there and then comes KK , the legend . He started with 'Yaaron Dosti Bdi hi haseen hai ' and with few more songs , whole environment changed . Officers started dancing with their families and soon the singles like us joined them. A lot of dancing , first on KK songs and then some more singers and then on DJ . After dinner , we moved to our rooms and it was already 0130hrs.
Next morning we were having Marathon , so we decided to wake up at 4 bt when I woke up ,my watch was showing 5. I rushed to Abhimanyu's cabin. They seemed less interested in going , so I decided to go myself. I took bus and reached the starting point. Soon the Marathon started.
First 10 Km. : In starting , I could feel the hangover so have no idea , how first 3 km gone . After 3 , my counterparts started showing less enthusiasm and they were kind of less interested in race now. Soon only one of my friend left with me . We crossed bridge , Kahawa , Naval Base , SFNA and were almost at 10 km milestone when the last counterpart left me alone.
10 - 20 km : Soon I reached the 11 km point from where I had to return back . I was running like hell , no breathing problem , only sweat was coming. As I reached Naval base again , I decided to call Abhimanyu and we talked for some time . After crossing bridge , I called to my brother , and we talked for 2 km . People standing on sides of road were amazed to see that a guy is talking on phone and running at 18 Km milestone while others have already started walking. As I reached 20 km , I cut the call.
Last 1000 meters : Now it was last 1 km , and i was still having lot of energy , so I decided to sprint. I am sure that I crossed at least 50 people in last km.
As I entered the ground , it was all crowded . I reached the final point , took my medal and stretched for some time . I was not able to feel my legs after few minutes. After all , I stepped outside the ground , had 3 juices and then took auto to naval base. It was a great day and had lot of fun . Seriously , I had never expected to complete 21 km with such good timing of 1 hr 52 min with hangover , sleepless night and dance for 3 hrs last night .
