The Voodoo Doll Medal!

I came to know about TRORT - 007 through one of the running groups in Facebook. As the name says, this was the 7th edition of this event and its on one of the toughest route of Bangalore. There was limited seats for this event with 3 categories FM, HM and 10K and I registered for the 10K race. 

I had not fully recovered from the previous week's 10K (Bengaluru Challenge 10k) so was not aiming for new PR, my only target was to enjoy and complete the race. 

The route was very scenic and the weather was in my favor. This was the first time when I was running and clicking pictures on the way. This route had pretty good elevation both ways. It was like when you are moving towards the end point from half way the low elevation from the start point became the high elevation. 

The Route

This race was bit different, the loop was formed using a single road, so there was two way traffic on the road, the one who are running toward the finishing line and the others who are running towards the half mark from the start point. Runners were cheering and talking to each other, I also spoke to fellow runners which I don't do it usually. Well, conversing with fellow runners during run has dual benefits one you don't get bored when you are running without your iPod and second you get your picture clicked on the way ;)

On the way back for completing the rest half

With run-walk-run and clicking pictures I crossed the finishing line with satisfaction of completing the yet another 10K consecutively in second week.

Certifies that I completed the race ;)

The best part was yet to come which was the Tribal Medal and the special yummy laddoos the organizers had made for all the runners.

This is a short story of how I added the first Voodoo Doll Medal in my collection.
