After those 42 kms, I existed only in relation to the finish line. And unlike the one that I chanced upon some 27 years ago, this was an existence of my own choosing; one that I had negotiated hard for. In the begining, I had said "I am strong"; but the hills made me walk. The sun then said "You are not strong enough"; but I walked on. "You don't have enough heart" said the altitude; "Whatever it is, it can endure", I replied. The desert tried to trick me; I persevered and it relented. And then after 06:12, there I was, humbled and proud; I wasn't much but whatever I was I was of my own creation.

Very well written!! Especially "And unlike the one that I chanced upon some 27 years ago, this was an existence of my own choosing; one that I had negotiated hard for."
Good one. Congratulations.
Nice writeup Sachin.
Glad you overcame your fight against the elements. I think all marathoners regularly redefine their own existence as they run one marathon after another.
:) Nice. Wonderful words.
Great write up...
Very well Written Sachin! Congratulation for the great achievement and expressing your experience beautifully! The mountains are intimidating and at the same time inspiring.
