Vancouver Half Ironman - finishing time

I had an amazing race yesterday. Longer course than Victoria but I still pulled a sub 6 hour time and I am very pleased with how it went. Final time was 5:53:35.

Race report and photos to come...I promise!

Happy training!

Now what has got you more excited, doing so well at the race or Bree Wee commenting on it?

Well done girl, it was a pleasure to follow your progress online like the nerd that I am. I'm looking forward to following at Penticton now.

Cracking time too :-)

That's fast! Congrats! I may be brave enough to take on a full triathlon one day. Until then, I'll have to live vicariously through you and some others!

April Fools 1/2 Marathon Plus 15km cool down

After my minor breakdown at work on Friday, I set off on Saturday for Sechelt.  I have run the April Fool's Half Marathon two times and this was my third time.  It never fails to be hilly and hard.   Sunday morning I started off at in Gibsons ready to run to Mission Point Park.  I took it very conservatively knowing that I would be adding another 15kms on at the end of the 'race'.   I crossed the finish line, collected my medal, filled my water bottles, ate a  piece of bagel and a bite of banana and kept running west.   I do not recommend running your longest run before a marathon in Sechelt if you are not used to hills.  That place is full of 12-15% grades both up and down. At the end of the day, I ran from 9:17am - 2pm with a few quick breaks to refill bottles, eat gels and take few rocks out of my shoes.   After a shower and some real food, I was back on the ferry to North Vancouver.  Reward:  Whit...
