  • Comments: I nailed my nutrition plan, there was no chance for me to bonk. I have no regrets for picking and running the Toronto half-mary but this race was too close to my last triathlon; getting sick shortly after my oly tri last month hindered my training. I would love to do this race again next year but since I am doing the Muskoka 70.3 next September, I will chose a half-mary that is 6 to 8 weeks after that event, possibly the Angus Glen half-marathon in November; this will allow enough time for me to properly recover from the HIM and train well for this race. The race organization was great; the cheerful crowds, volunteers and psyching team were fantastic. Even though this race was a "C" event, I am overall pleased with how I performed and did better than what I anticipated. I am beginning to love running!

  • Comments: Some of the water stations were disorganized and they were not up to speed on the water or gatorade. They were not poured and sometimes had to line up to get water or gatorade. One station I got undiluted gatorade powder poured in the cup as it was being passed to me. This also slowed me down a little, otherwise I could have been finished 20 seconds faster?
