Today was the Mumbai Marathon. The day started early (out of bed at 4 am) and nicely cool. The start was at 5:40 am. After 5 km I catched up with the 4:30 bus (a group lead by a pacer to finish in a certain time), I started 2 minutes later than the group (the puntual start surprised me and I still had to undress my extra t-shirt).
The bus was perfect and driven by the incredible pacemaker, we ran continously around 10 km/h. Until 30 km all was fine, at that point I slowed down to have a drink and couldn't move forward anymore because of my knee. Even walking hurts ... No other option then to continue walking, stop for icing, a sad experience after such a good first 30 km. Time: 5:23 :(

Mais vale "aguentares os cavalos" por uns tempos, cunhado. Umas voltinhas a passo nos próximos meses e umas fisioterapias vão-te pôr fino para a próxima maratona de Mumbai!
Querido Hans: Ainda bem que te vi no Skype e tive a oportunidade de
tentar estabelecer um Diagnóstico
provisório ao Joelho. Parece-me
pouco provável a inflamação de um
dos ligamentos (meniscos),porque a
sintomatologia seria outra, incli-
nando-me mais para a hipótese do
foro sinovial (com micro-ruptura da
respectiva Bolsa, ou ligeira hérnia
da mesma). A terapeutica inicial u-
tilizável é simples para confirmar
um Prognóstico definitivo. Descanso
absoluto nos primeiros dias, acom-
panhado de banhos de Sol ou aplica-
ção doseada de Infra-vermelhos e
medicação anti-inflamatória já in-
dicada e que confirmarás com um mé-
co amigo. Ao desejar-te as melhoras
termino dizendo-te que as Maratonas
não são para "AMADORES", pese a tua longa e profícua experiência!
AH! AH! AH! Beijos para todos dos
atentos Milos .
Yes!!! :0
Not quite "vini, vidi, vici", but you did cross the line again... victorious! :) Medal well deserved!
Many congrats on your big accomplishment!
Choosing to go for "the extra mile", to stick to your goal and continue the last 12 kms in severe pain, shows the tenacy of a real winner. :)
Cheers to you, and the many winnings ahead!!!
Your proud wife
Deixa lá Hans, sempre arranjaste uma medalha noutra coisa. Se seguires a terapêutica do Milo ficas bom rapidamente... pelo menos para daqui a um ano.
As melhoras.
Kiki e Francisco
