It still has not sunk in, and I'm still grinning ear to ear!
I ran the "oldest road race in North America" a week ago Sunday. Older than Boston (and the closest I'll ever be to it unless I go down to watch one day) Around the Bay in Hamilton/Burlington. It starts in downtown Hamilton, and literally goes around the bay through Burlington & back to Hamilton to a really interesting finish line in Copp's Collesium (sort of like an IronMan finish actually!)
I did take a few things away from Sunday, that I'll remember:
- 30 kilometers is a long way...
- I didn't take it as seriously as I should have...
- I slacked off on specific hill training, not the best thing for this race...
- WHO ON EARTH puts hills (and nasty ones) at KM 22-27 of a 30K route!
- I absolutely LOVED all of it, even with the hard lessons...
Will I be back next year...
WITH A VENGANCE!
Big thanks to one of the best pacers in the world.... while we didn't get to run the whole thing together - those 11K at the beginning gave me the ability to get to the end... You know who you are... ;)
