Today saw the IIMA 5 kilometer run. Anybody could participate and so they did. By the gates at the New Campus a masse of people had assembled at 5 o'clock, as stipulated. As always in India, the actual thing didn't start until at least 20 minute later. I'm not judging here; I just say things don't start on time.
Five kilometres is a relatively short distance, I think most people would agree. When temperatures have well exceeded 30 degrees Celsius, it doesn't seem so short. It was warm. It was sweaty. It was long. It was sometimes absolutely horrid. And in the end, it was over. I'm proud to say that the exchange students dominated and took places 1 through 4 among the males and 2 and 3 among the females, despite being the visiting team on the ground.
And I shall dwell in dorm 15 room 24 forever.
Pictured are happy contestants Hubert (France), Thomas (Switzerland), Ole (Norway), me and Pierre (France).
