My Opera

Yesterday I ran at 8th International halfmarathon Kras in Sežana. Of course, I run for myself every season from February to October or November, but I usually don't compete. I find it unnecessary for an amateur like me to go on such events. But this year I couldn't resist of taking this challange and the reason I got interested in the first place, was the fact that I was designing promotional graphics for this competition. It would be a pitty not to support an event that I help advertise. 
Here's my final design:

And here's how it looks in real life:

In order to prepare myself, I have started my trainings a little earlier this year - in late january. Thanks to the global warming, this is more and more possible with every year. But I had only seven (7!!!) weeks to get in shape, and that is not quite enough for 21 km, which is a respectable distance, indeed. Especially if you start from scratch, like I did. It is logical that my goals were extremely modest; 1st - finish the damn thing, 2nd - if it is possible, in less than 2 hours. I must say I did acomplish both goals which made me quite happy. But the real joy is of more sublime nature; running trough the beautiful Kras landscape, meeting fellow runners and simply having fun on the road. It was totally worth it.
You can see some of my pics, or the official gallery with more than 1000 photos.
