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: White Spot Legendary Burger combo with cheese and a Coke.
