Brinda - In the long run wants to do a sub 11min for 2.4km.
Flexifitness athlete, Brinda, 11 years of age, has taken part in the zoo run when she was 10years of age. She took part this year and did very well in the Zoo Run, improving her time by nearly 50sec for the Zoo Run. I decided to interview her on the success that she had.

How do you find the race, as a whole?
I was scared to see many runners lining up in the race.
During the race, I found the route simple. Last year, I did about 15min 49sec.
Are you happy with the time and position?
I am happy, but I believe that I can improve my time
further. My position was 13th and a feeling is telling in me that I can improve some more.
How do you find the organisation of the race?
Overall it was good. However, some of the distance was not
clear. There was only the 1km mark. We could not find the markers. The
officials did not know how much was left when we asked them.
Were you able to see the animals when you were running?
Yes, I was able to see tigers, orangutan and zebras.
How do you find the route?
It was the course which had some up down, I feel that the last
part of the finish should be a flat course at the finish.
What is your next goal?
I would like to do a 2.4km time of 11min 30sec before doing
11min.
