  • Comments: My race was bad, mostly because of the bad pacing by our bunny and the strong winds. I could often rank top 20%, if not higher, in my AG, but only slightly better than avg today. I felt cheated as my race time clearly was significantly slower than what I'm capable of running. The course was not flat as advertised, lots of ups and downs. But it was great to run the marathon with hubby, his first and probably last, and probably my last too. The race was marred by a most unfortunate incident - a 27yr old half marathoner died at the race. But on the good news front, 2 Cdns qualify for the Olympics, first time in a long time. Ed Whitlock broke another world record - 3:15 for an 80yr old. But his record was overshawdowed by Fauja Singh, who broke the world record for the oldest man to ever complete a marathon at 100yrs old. Hats off to him, to stay on his feet for 8+ hr today, under brutal conditions with very strong winds and rain.
