It will not be my first marathon. My first marathon was the Swiss Alpine Marathon last July. A 6.300 ft elevation mountain marathon. Yeah, wise choice for the first one. I had a blast, though.
The New York Marathon will be, if everything goes as planned AND Immigration will let me enter the US, my second marathon, and my FIRST road marathon.
So, I guess it's time for my first giveaway, huh? :)
TMB @ Racing with Babes (http://racingwithbabes.blogspot.com/) has this great giveaway going at this very moment (!) where you have to guess her finish time. Brilliant idea! So brilliant, that I'm copying you TMB! :)
What's in the goodie bag?
Sorry, I'm not one of those hugely popular bloggers (yet...I hope one day I will have more people following my blog than just my mom...just kidding) that's giving away a Garmin, so I'm giving away a 'will get you through a marathon or at least one long run' goodie bag.
4 X GU Energy Gel Chocolate Outrage
2 x Powerbar Energy Gel Lemon
1 x Sweatyband in Pink-Dots
Plus
A New York Marathon souvenir that I'll pick up at the marathon expo. This one will be a surprise!
What do you have to do to enter this giveaway?
Guess what my finish time will be! And let me know in a comment. Ofcourse...you can also guess 'DNS' or 'DNF'. After all...I am battling a knee injury at the moment.
If several entrees would give the same finishing time, I will let random.org pick the winner.
