Biking and Running at Siem Reap

On the 2nd and 3rd of December 2017, I traveled to Siem Reap to joined a biking for 37 km and more excitingly, to participate in a half Marathon by running 10 km. The biking was on the 2nd of December and it was really amazing to bike through many obstacle like in the forest, on the sand, on the pebble, but unfortunately, on the last round my bike had a problem with a chain, which require me to adjust the chain back to its normal. This biking, I didn’t keep it as a competition, I just participated for fun and get ready for the running.

 

On the 3rd, which is on Sunday, I woke up at 3 AM to get to the main area for the Marathon. There are thousands of people that participated in the running include the 3 km, 10 km and 21 km. Before the run, I had an ultimate intention that my time for the running should be under 55 minutes. I started running at about 16 minutes later of the official time and my speed was super slow since the road is too small and I need to find the space for me to run. My first five kilometer is very slow, but my last five kilometers was pretty amazing. My running time was about 52 minutes, which I completed my goal and it was also a big improvement from two years ago.
