It was a really nice event, I loved it. After a fun run with start and finish on Saturday at 4 pm on a Thai beach, I ran the marathon which started on Sunday at 3:00 in Phuket Old Town. We ran in the dark until 5:45 when the sky started to light up. The route was pretty straight, we ran a bit through the Old Town, then we ran to the south and back to the start/finish line. The last km's were a bit crowded, because we collided with the slower runners from the shorter distances. I loved the finish area where there were a lot of food, dessert and beverage booths. I managed to finish on the 4th place of the participants from abroad, with a gun time of 3:20:34, respectively chip time of 3:20:25, in a warm weather of 26-27°C with 90% humidity and a real feel of 32°C.
