Run

Comments:

Had a great first half and then at about the 14-15k mark the Achilles started to become uncomfortable. So walked a little more and then at about 18k had to stretch it out a bit. Basically ran between water stations (every 3k) and then walked the water stations. Felt really good with a nice even pace.

What would you do differently?:

Clear the Achilles issue. If it hadn't been for that, could have been close to a PB time.

Post race

Warm down:

Light stretching, walking around and eating some food.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Achilles discomfort

Event comments:

Good race with lots of support from volunteers, the police and the citizens of Oakville. Will do this again.
