Comments:

good easy course. down hills not too bad. was a bit crowded though this was really a help to start at an easy pace and not go overboard!
fun to run down Yonge street and see my neighbourhood
What would you do differently?:

1. avoid the overtraining the weekend prior to the race (was unable to run all week - sore right knee)
2. avoid the pre-race debacle.
3. fuel belt instead of a hand carried bottle
4. train more
Post race
Warm down:

walking around the finish area, stretching, rehydrating, re-fueling.
10 k bike back home.
epsom salts bath, 40 min power nap

What limited your ability to perform faster:

break in training the week prior.


Event comments:

the debacle with the shuttle buses at the start was a bit of a headache - had to grab a taxi to the starting line. not something I wanted to deal with!
next year I wont be making the same mistake!
good run...feel very happy with the result, the process, and the effort.
