 Run
Comments: Started the run with DOC and ROBBIE, was dodging in and out of people.. That got old...QUICK..Waved at the Doc and took off. Started to over heat as I wore way too much. Took of the jacket and put it in its pouch. Its not a good thing as soon as I did that I started getting a cramp. This cramp would stay the whole time but was more of a nuisance than anything. Seen a woman with a Cherry tattoo on her shoulder..tres cool! I almost knocked her into the water as I was avoiding another runner. Let her go infront of me again and then almost spilled my Gatorade on her. Funny, with all these runners wearing there shirts of years past, they can't figure out to move out of the way before starting to walk. The people who wear the years race shirt, should be told that you can't wear it if you have not done it yet..as it is not cool! Stepped in a water puddle and was wet from then on. Jumped onto a bench and ran as I was cut off. Race was good after that, the hill was good, running down hill is something I need to work on. I liked the lost lagoon part. I seen a big swan and squirrel. Volunteers were excellent. What would you do differently?: Well, not much, just start out in the front more.  Post race
Warm down: Walked around stretched and waited for the DOC to run by. She was doing great. I YELLED at her near the finish, and she even picked it up!!! What limited your ability to perform faster: Training! My weight. Event comments: Nice local run. Might do it again. Last updated: 2007-02-03 12:00 AM

Regular 87 Squamish,BC | Subject: RE: "First Half" Half Marathon You have excellent yelling skills apparently. Must fall under the parenting prerequistes. You say "RUN" and they say "How fast?" Run sounded a tad crowded. It reminded me at my attempt of the Sun Run about 10 years ago. I haven't been too keen to return to Vancouver for another race. Good for you for charging through and having a good run. |

Woke up ate a bowl of VECTOR, with MILK. Then headed out the door to pick up my friend. She called and BAILED. I then headed to Tim Hortons and picked up a large black coffee.
Drove to the DOC's LARGE house and then picked up ROBBIE. Doc then decided that she wanted to me Mario Andretti and almost made me pee my pants. I thought she was going to kill me!!!(jk) But, her TURBO SUBARU is to die for!!! We got some sweet parking. Went to the potty and then went inside to get pins.
Nothing. Just standing around looking for a SATTELITE!
