Romania 2018: Retezat Marathon, Rausor skijump

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0JYzffTMZY&t=20s Once again, I took part of what I've sworn I would never do. This race made me drop dead last year and I really meant when I wrote: ".. is not for everyone, definitely not for me.

Florida 2017: Miami Marathon, 29th January

I can't even explain the things I felt the day before the race when I went to Miami to pick up my race kit.
