  • Comments: I found this to be an overall very well organized event. We had police stopping traffic for us, volunteers showing us the way and the positive comraderie by all the runners was very well appreciated. My wife is wearing the gift toque today. I was a little discombobulated by the mileage markers and the accuracy of the overall distance. I rated the post race acivities low because the meal looked great and I was really looking forward to it but the seating was inadequate and there was a twenty minute line up to eat so we passed on that. But these are only minor and the overall setting was fantastic and extremely posisitve. I learned a hell of a lot on just this one event. I am one of those guys who has to learn from experience, and because of that, I did some things my way instead of listening to the wiser beings. The wiser beings are usually correct! Overall, race wise I have to drink more and weigh less. I feel a great sense of accomplishment and am proud I trained so hard

  • Comments: It was a bloody cold day, but thankfully almost no wind. My goal was 2:30, so I am somewhat disappointed with my time. However, I am happy that I took off almost 10% from my time for my last 1/2 marathon. I should do better on the Police 1/2 on April 30.
