Medio Maraton Ciudad de Almeria 2014

[Antonio247]

Congratulations on your beautiful reports, S. I'm really glad you kept my pace for eleven kilometres in spite of my insisting you should go at your faster pace. I'd love to have been able to go with you all the course but I started to feel some discomfort in my back left thigh and I thought I'd rather go more slowly to avoid an injury that prevented me from reaching the finish in such a special date. It was amazing that after our 6 minute pace you managed to do the half in two hours one minute.

I think that the fact that you had been able to come here and take part in a half marathon for then consecutive years deserved something special such aspublished in a local newspaper, an award given by the sports local councillor and a cake with number 10 for dessert at the restaurant on Sunday.

I'm very glad you all have had a good time in my home town these years. It's been a real pleasure for me to have my amigos from far away in my town and I'm very glad that you all share your time here with me. It always brings me very good memories and my friends from here also have a very good time with all of you.

I'd like to thank again El Gordo for having set up this website that has it made possible to meet such wonderful people in the virtual world but also in the real world not only in Almería but also in Reading, Brighton, Connemara and ,for some lucky ones, in Australia.

¡Muchas gracias, amigos!
