Hey y'all,
After taking part in various 3Km, 5km and semi-marathon races in Athens (x9), Nafplio and Philadelphia in the United States, I finally took part in the first semi-marathon ever organized in my birthplace, Corinth.
I finished 79th out of 256 participants, not so bad, huh? The organization wasn't perfect but it's the first time I ever run in such race and the organizers announced your rank a couple of minutes after you made it to the finish line. Probably because of the limited participation? I don't know!
One way or another, I fully enjoyed it and I added another medal in my collection. Glad to see little beautiful things happening in my city.

Quite nice-looking medal, no?
