I was curious how far back I was in the list of overall, gender and race categories. Here' the numbers:

Gender (Women):
Junior 63
Senior 575 (309 place)
Master1 293
Master2 117
Run1 2156
Run2 4380
TOTAL 7584 (593 place)

Gender (Men):
Junior 244
Senior 2408
Master1 1184
Master2 765
Run1 3752
Run2 4955
TOTAL 13308

Total Overall 20892 (4461 place)

So, statistically speaking, my ranking was ok? Not really exceptional... hahaha. But that will teach me to not leisurely walk and look around while running a 10k marathon. ROFL.

No, no, that's good. It shouldn't be a question of rank the first time you do it. What you did just struck me as the best way to go about a marathon: You take the time out to watch the people, the places, and the landscape as it goes by.

Maybe at some point in the future, you can train to actually place high in the race. But for now, you might as well enjoy the fact that you're running in the race to begin with. Let's not taint it with the pressure of winning, for a while. :)

You're quite right with that one. The pressure of winning will definitely stain the experience. I'm just running for my personal time anyway. If I really start running for winning... I would be comparing myself with the best record time in the world instead of my competitors in the race.

And, did you know the best time for male category (screw it, for me gender should never make any difference in performance) is less than 30 minutes?

That's quite crazy.
