Amsterdam Half Marathon 2013


Fourth participation in a row for BITT in the Amsterdam Half Marathon.
Over 30.000 runners covered both Classic and Half distances of this 2013 edition, looking forward to the epic finish in the Olympic Stadium of the dutch capital. The stadium hosted the 1928 Olympic Games and was declared national monument in 1987. The structure will also host the 2016 European Athletics Championships, for which BITT already qualified dozens of talented athletes.
 
Guillermo, Kostas and Francesco started running at the central train station, motivated by the particularly fast journey from Brussels that allowed them to arrive 2 milliseconds before the official start.

Brussels Marathon - Half Marathon 2013: we can do both!


Sunday 06.10.2013
Borda Team registered for both Marathon and Half Marathon in Brussels.
For Doug it was the very first time with the classic distance. The race started at 9 and ended for him after 4h38 minutes. After surviving the biggest challenge, Doug, while sipping a cold cold hectoliter of beer laying on his couch, firmly stated:

'The course is spectacular, both pretty and tough. I actually enjoyed the first half, but it's at the 20km mark that the real race starts. I'd been doing a good pace until 30km but at this point my legs started to go and the last 12km is hilly. Next time I'll choose a flatter course'.
