Well, here to post my first two race reports in one article… the first race this year for me was the ATB 30k which was an awesome event indeed, mostly because of the “shorts and t-shirt” weather. Around The Bay is a fun race and a challenge indeed…the course is pretty fast for the first 18k, but starts to introduce some hills leading up to the largest hill at 26k…long and steep and the kind of hill you need train for…needless to say I should have done more hill work…After the hill there’s the Grim Reaper … then down hill to the finish.
My first official experience as part of TEAM Running Free was at the Mississauga Race Expo…as a volunteer at the Running Free display. It was a great experience to meet other team members and to get to say hi and help runners with purchases. The Half Marathon on Sunday was an experience indeed…lots of Team Running Free members running, as well as support and cheers from staff and fans alike.
My Ottawa Half Marathon was also run as a team RF member…didn’t see as many RF bodies at this race, but I know they were there in spirit… Ottawa is a great race that is well supported by the city and a “MUST RUN” for runners of every level. The course was changed this year due to some construction restrictions…but Ottawa is such a beautiful city, it really doesn’t matter where you run when in the Nations Capital.
Keep Running !!!
