In the end, that’s what I ended up with. I’m not really happy with it, having run my own private marathons with 3:25 and 3:27 this year. But it helped me in that way that I’m not going to do any more of these public runs. There’s not much fun in #running when you’re in a mass of people for the first ~16 or ~18 kilometers (I just can’t remember when they split off the half marathon…). #running #einstein #marathon #ulm #coros #apex4

    @sebastianhahn@mastodon.world that's a good time in spite of the throng of people all around you. I hope you have a nice post marathon treat planned. At least you.can get back to the normal regime in the morning - runs for fun with just you, the dawn and the bats and a other critters around you

    @sebastianhahn@mastodon.world I can of understand your frustration, I would feel the same in such a mass of people. That said, your time is still rather impressive looking at the circumstances 💪👍🎆🎇 I would have certainly not bothered you if I'd run there, I'd been far behind you after the first few meters... 🙈

    @sebastianhahn@mastodon.world bummer that your race day was unsatisfying due to the crowds, it's bittersweet that you can just do it again in a couple days to your own standards. Did you meet any cool people at least? I like to break up that feeling of being in a human herd by joking to people that in an ideal world, our commutes to work would be like that. Or saying "Yeah, let's track down that buffalo herd!" Or wild stuff like that.

    @sebastianhahn@mastodon.world Unfortunately all races are only going to get more popular nowadays. Your pace is still great given the chaos! Congratulations on the run!
