Story for Finishing 15K in Istanbul

There was no transportation to the start point of the race from where i live and regular transportation stopped for some reasons, i didn't know that and i believe most of the people didn't as well. I had to run 4,5K to reach the start area in time and when i reached race was started and all buses for belonging was left.

I started with a bag in my back 4 minutes late after the official start, at the 5K shoe lace loosen, had to stop to tighten it; between 8-10K huge cramp occurred and i slowed down. In the last 5K whatever i did i couldn't reach my optimal pace and whenever i try to start attacking muscles hurt. 

But after all it was unforgettable for me. Sometimes only important thing is to cross the finish line

Long story short, finish line was the goal for me and i did it!
