"Do you feel like returning the medal?", I was asked right after the race. It was a shrewd question given that my previous attempt was 57:04 minutes and my current one was 1:06:47. 

Where did it go wrong? What there a crisis?

Not really. It was a struggle throughout.

What made it so hard? The temperature around 25-30 C did not help. But more importantly, my last training was on June 8, so it's fair to say my preparation was not ideal insufficient.

Am I going to return the medal? Not at all. A hard race counts. And it also shows the value of preparation.
