SEB Tallinn Marathon 7.-9. September

We Run TLN start

On Friday 07. september we traveled to Tallinn with my son where took place two events - SEB Tallinn Marathon 2017 and We Run Tallinn 2017.

A medal and special Nike T-shirt

Nike We Run Tallinn have 5 km track where my 12 year old son took part on Friday 08.september. Participants are all young hobby runners who are 13 -29 years old and sufficiently trained for the distance can participate. There was also some younger and older runners 💪. This run included special Nike "We Run Tallinn 2017" running T-shirt and timekeeping device - both were mandatory to wear during the race. Everybody who ended race got with special design medal.

My son got pretty interesting chest number - 1222.
Overall he was 735th of 3491.
His age group (Boys) 306th of 810.
His time was 00:27:07.7 (under 30 min 💃👏).
Good result I think - I am proud ✌.
He was also happy because he got a medal and new T-shirt. Before the run I also bought new running shoes
for him 😇. There was Sportland and Nike

Before 10 km Start

market and prices were super cheap
compared in their stores.

I ran on Saturday 08. september SEB Tallinn Marathon 10 km race. I was not mentally ready for this run. But there were good vibes in the air and my goal was just run under one hour. I knew I am in good shape so it should be achievable for me. Track itself was super good I really enjoyed it. But weather was like and old grumpy lady. For running there was great temperature around 16*C but when I was in the 5th kilometer there started to came light rain 😕.

Somewhere around 3 km at Mere avenue

I had hard school week behind and there was something with my heart rate  and it went too up for three times and it was my biggest setback on track. But it was not that bad that
I felt like a heart attack is coming.
😊 I think it was caused because of the stress.

Around 3 km to go before finish

Well the other setback was with music I planned to use the same music as I used in Rakvere Night Run 2017, but something went wrong and mostly listened Latin Music (reggaeton, kizomba, bachata and salsa music). 😂

When I almost got to the finish and saw a clock 🙌 - WOW I was amused - I got some kind of energy boost from nowhere -
time was there 00:56:something and I took my last effort of this run.

Yeah 💪💫💣 I RAN MY NEW PERSONAL BEST 00:57:31 (neto 00:56:52) ... My 2012 year result 00:58:31 was overrun. AMAZING my Personal Victory 💪💪💖💣 ...

Later when I was checking at home my result I was even more amused - Really?! Impossible??! With same result ended another girl in my age group with the same name and with the same time (00:57:31). I discovered this because I used for search my first name 😌.

Last effort

As I told before there were good vibes in the air 💖🙌and happened so many positive things.
On Friday after we jumped of the tram and were with my son in Freedom Square. I heard announce for radio (Sky+) game, they had some kind off issue with studio phone and they was searching two persons to make this game on live because they had pop-up studio there. Price was three-cource dinner for two with bottle of red or white wine in Swissòtel 8th floor restaurant The Quarter. 🙈 I had no doubt because we only live once and desided to take part of it ... Question was so easy-breazy for me and i won it 🙉💕💑. So I grab my Hubby and take him to dinner 🙈💖😇

Me and my 12 year old son both ran 10 km. As I mentioned before the sky was dark and threatening. Also was a warning about dangerous weather. I took two towels and dry clothes in case there should come rain.
Our start was 08:10 P.M. before that went on the track half-marathoners (21,1 km runners) and five minutes later 4 km runners and walkers.
The feeling that becomes with Night Run event it is hard to describe with words because this the feeling you need to experience.
I think i was in pretty good running shape. My goal was to run 01:05:00 - 01:15:00. I ran all the distance almost with the same tempo. It was easy to breathe and i did not have any issues. Because in Midsummer Marathon first 3 km was like mentally beating myself up.
It was hard to get away in start because i was somewhere at the end of the line. Also was had to pass by other runners but finally i stayed somewhere in the middle.
This year there was also Pacers on the track somewhere around 4th km i noticed one with white balloon and T-shirt 00:55:00 on the back.  But after drinking point i lost Pacer ...
Next to the running track there was every kind of performers: dancers, cheerleaders, singers, professional fire jugglers etc.
Around 4 km before finish (at the drinking point) i felt how wind raised and spinn all the drinking cups on the track. Before there was several lightning in the sky and clouds were all black.
Bad was this year in drinking points that water was not ready for runners. Some runners just grabbed 1,5 l bottle and run with that. But in sport drink point was everything great as it should be.

I was hoping that i will end before it starts to rain - but nooooo .... Around 1,5 km before finish started to come very heavy rain. Instantly were so many water everywhere. We all run in the dark and rain went into my eyes so i had no glue where i was running and where i was stepped. Those water-pools are sneaky and i was afraid what if i twist my leg or ankle. So i took bit slower and also tried not to run out others.
I ended with time 00:59:28 (neto time 00:57:38). My son got time 01:08:26 (neto time 01:05:54). He did it - super good.
I was one of the lucky ones who got my time because some did not. Finish line was over floated by water and sensor did not got signal.
