I ran the marathon. 42 kilometers. 26 miles. Finished in 4 hours and 40 minutes. Right after the race I drank what I thought was water but was actually soda, and then I ate a banana. Then I threw up, twice, voluminously. Then I did a marathon of baby steps back to the hotel and the rest of the day is kind of a blur. I had the most awesomest hot bath ever and then I passed out. At some point me and Matia went out for dinner, and then I went back to sleep some more.
I woke up around 4am and went for a walk around the city in the early morning light. A very cute Bulgarian girl propositioned me for “sex blow-job” in some alleyway. She was very persistent, but somehow I found myself saying “No, no, no thank you.” Then I did some more baby steps back to the hotel.
PS: Here’s my race diploma. Fancy.
