The Motivation: If not now, then when? Life is too short to stay inactive.
The Challenge: If you are not willing to suffer, then you shouldn't be racing
The Dream: Staying fit and feeling younger day by day!

Revisited: Post race photo coverage - 10km 2010 Athens Classic Marathon Day

Click on any image below to view a full-size high resolution photo. I offer these photos for free to use as a thank for my visitors to this blog. I captured them from my Nokia X2 mobile phone.

Due to heavy demand and increased interest, additional photos have been added to guide people through the 2010 Athens Classic Marathon event and get a better idea of the atmosphere during that day. For this reason, I am also planning to create a photoalbum (hm...maybe ready until mid of June?), which when ready, I will uploaded it on this blog for the athletes to look through. Hope you enjoy the Marathon spirit and hope to see you in the coming 2011 Athens Classic Marathon Event too!

First at 2010 (18th Dec.) Greek Indoor Rowing Championship - www.aasport.gr




The end of the season has eventually reached and now I can have a good rest after about 7 months of systematic training at various sports (windsurfing, triathlon, running, indoor rowing).

And nothing feels better than to end the 2010 with a first place at the Greek Indoor Rowing Championship, which this is what happened on the 18th of Dec!!! Best Xmas gift !!!

Distance: 1000 m (standard length for the Greek IRC)
Official finish time: 3.02.8 ( 0.4 secs off my last year's 2009 Greek national record and 2.4 seconds in front of the 2nd place!!! - tough competition this year)
1 st place at 30-39 division (between 15 full time rowers and technically experienced athletes from distinguished national rowing clubs)

Not a national record this time (I am NR holder since 2010), but considering the load of the racing schedule for this year (about one important race every 4-5 weeks since May) I am quite happy to conclude the 2010 this way.

I will rest for about 10 days and prepare the training season for the 2011 Greek Triathlon Race events: http://www.schiniathlon.gr/news-20101122.html

Photos from the Greek IRC will be posted shortly, in the meantime please check: www.aasport.gr and http://www.facebook.com/pages/C2-Indoor-Rowing/118432964891200 (my apologies for the delay but it's time for some celebration too!)

Cheers ;)

p.s: Indoor rowing best 2000 m: 6.38.7 ||| best 1000 m: 3.02.4

2010 Athens Classic Marathon: Pre-race photo coverage!!

Registration time was a complete madness! Well, 21,000 competitors are expected to appear on the start line...so make sure you don't get squeezed or stepped over...



Course map: Study it carefully else go home


Some of the competitors' lists...must have been a nightmare for the organisers to deal with all this amount of information


Plenty of kiosks with sports and other relevant products at Zappion park, Athens, Greece before the 2010 Athens Classic Marathon
