    Today I went and watched the race.
    It was awesome!
    Only thing was that there was no seating arrangement for the spectators. We had to stand in the burning sun for more than one hour and soon left. I would have stayed till evening.
    I hope the organizers will make some seating arrangements next time.
    However, I wish all the best to the competitors and the organizers.
    We need more of these kind of sports in Mangalore.
    Have a nice day!
