Road to Borobudur Marathon 2024

 Hello!



Starting my August with a new hope! haha. On Monday, in the middle of working, I screamed when I got a notif from my phone; it was Borobudur Marathon Ballot Result. As you can see in the first image. My co-workers suddenly asked me why am I screaming like that, and I was like uh oh.. nothing, it's just a gacha moment :D and yeah life is always full of gacha. I asked my friend (who encouraged me to join this ballot) about her result, but turned out she didn't get selected sadly. 

A little background, this Marathon event is REALLY famous in Indonesia--at least for runners. Even someone made a meme with Run event list and put Borobudur Marathon as a Top-tier S event beside Jakarta International Marathon and Maybank Marathon. I just know that to get a slot in this kind of famous running event, use a Ballot or raffle system. Well yeah, if they still use 'war' kind of ticketing system, it would be crowd as hell just like getting a K-pop concert ticket. 

I actually just jumped into this running environment when I was last year of college back in 2020. When I got so much stress on my thesis, then my friend suggested me to do running. Yup, it helps. Run after run I enjoyed it sooooo much, even I joined the famous running event also known as the biggest reunion event from my campus, ITB Ultra Marathon. Because 2020 was covid era, it held virtually. But I also joined the relay-16 team from Geodesy ITB Runners last year, I'll tell this story later~ 

Am I a good runner? No, definitely. well, I'm trying to. Walaupun bisa dibilang slow runners banget karna pace lari gue beneran SEKEONG itu sekarang. Bahkan dulu pas kuliah kayaknya gue bisa 10k pace 7, sekarang mah boro-boro cuy dah keberatan badan. Makanya, ini iseng daftar bormar malah dapet slotnya agak ketar-ketir. Tapi masih ada 4 bulan lagi buat latihan! 

Jujur sekain khawatir sama perfoma lari, gue juga khawatir ntar hari H ngang nong sendirian soalnya temen-temen gue gak pada dapte slot huhu. Ini aja masih struggle nyari penginapan. Gapapa gapapa, lu biasanya juga berani apa-apa sendiri, ki. Ini juga harus berani ke magelang sendirian!! 

Padahal gue baru lari lagi bulan maret kemaren karna mau menghilang dari beban-bena duniawi HAHA sekalian melipir dari hiruk pikuk kpop yang dah ga sehat bagi gue itu. Tapi ini terlalu jauh dive in ke perlarian duniawi haha padahal mau selo-selo aja. 

Oke, that's all. That's my life update. Hopefully this can make me a better person, menuju pribadi Azki yang lebih baik dan mental yang lebih sehat---jyakh. 


See you next update persiapan bormar nanti!
