Pre-race routine:

Drop off the runners. Ate a clif bar and drank some water. Had a couple cups of coffee a few potty breaks as it was 3 hours until I ran. Got up early picked up the race van and met the team. Drove to Haney to get the first runner ready to run. Seen her off and drove to leg 2 to meet and give number to leg 2 runner. Seen her off and drove behind her to bug the hell out of her when she was running, lots of screaming involved in that one.
Event warmup:

Got out of the van about 1/2 mile before the leg exchange and decided to run/walk around. Got my jacket and pants off and touque and gave it to a team member. Got my chip and ran.

Good run. I could have picked it up a bit but still at the end I could hardly walk after the exchange and I could taste blood.

Warm down:

Sat in the van, did some stretches Ate some food. Dropped of leg 5 runner. Ate some more drank some water. Dropped off Leg 6 runner Ate a bagel and a clif shot. Drove to find Leg 6 runner to bug him. Noticed that he was having trouble. Well, leg 6 runners hamstring blew. So, I had to run again. 8 More K in about 38 mins. Pushed hard and felt like crap.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing. I trained hard for this race.

Event comments:

Just a big race. Some of it on highways. Hard to run with cars coming at you. Its a good race well organized in some spots. not so much in others.
I like it cause you are with a team and you can yell at people. Also, this year, I chased one of the team mates with a stick. Hillarious.
I had a hard time on the second leg. Ran 23-24 K in total this race

Performance: Good
Ran behind a guy going for 103. Kept with him most of the way seen him @ the finish and thanked him for pacing me. Told him he was a good rabbit. My team bugged me when I was running around. It was prett good. I still can not believe I ran that fast.
Course: Leg 3(Steep uphill, steady downhill) Stave Lake Dam to Mission Municipal Hall. Cross over both dams and climb steeply uphill for 1 km. After short downhill, road continues uphill to Mill Pond, then continues downhill to Dewdney Trunk Road. Road becomes undulating. Stay left and continue along Dewdney Trunk Road until Exchange 3 at Stave Lake Street, at the Mission Municipal Hall
