Great report and pics La. All the best to your friend.

I've found that they provide some relief (not as much strain) to the calves during a run.

Only one (almost) good pic.

Nicely done Dr.S!

Does ATB 2013 = Pre-injury time???

Damned dates!

Thanks for the entertainment IB. Great report.

Congrats WGR. I'm glad you had a great time. Nice racing.

I recognize you from the start line. I was lined up right behind you.

Congrats Mark. Great race. It was a great story to follow.

Good advice. Thanks Doonst.

Great race! Nicely done.

Thanks everyone! Glad to hear I am not the only one with feelings of regret at races. Nice job on your first ATB. Will you be back for more? Maybe not next year, but I can't just end my ATB story like that right? :wink: :) Congratulations, on a solid race for your first ATB ... As mentioned, in the ...

Great running lisa!

Good luck in Boston. Enjoy it.

Nicely done everyone! Finished my first ATB in 2:25:14.6 Faded in the last 10k, but that was part of the plan. :wink: :shock: When did I pass you on the course, as you had zoomed right past me earlier one ??? Almost immediately after we talked...I move up and to the right (just to get out of your w...

Congrats Andy, great race.

I was the creepy guy talking to you at around 13-14k (in the sunglasses and gray RR hat).

Nicely done everyone!

Finished my first ATB in 2:25:14.6

Faded in the last 10k, but that was part of the plan.

Thanks for the update La.

I am flip-flopping between this one and Muskoka. I like the convenience of Toronto, but I'm tempted to make Muskoka a weekend getaway.

Roll Call 30 Km: HCcD -- Bib #2330 Carm - my first ATB Dr. S and Hubby (my 6th consecutive year but I ran the relay with Trixiee one year) Jes - going for about 3 hours Mark 2.0 - going for <IB scrumhalfgirl purdy65 - 4th straight, but trying to figure out how to run it so close to Boston. MP? Race?...

1. Who wins the ATB Schallonge: Mark 2.0
2. What will the winning margin be: 0:45
3. What will the winning time be: 2:18

My own finish time: 2:29:47

Good luck and have fun Mark and IB!

It's not so hard to pick a section in the area and meet there afterwards. I've never had any problems. And the fact that I finish within the 5 min window I give out ahead helps. They know when to watch. My name usually gets called too by the announcer guy. That's true, it wouldn't be difficult to m...

I know you didn't ask this, but I wouldn't recommend going to Copps to see your husband finish. I would recommend picking an area along the route (between 20 and 24k). You will be able to see eachother and give him the boost he needs to finish. Parking (and getting in and out) is not an issue either...

Can't see myself doing anything move more than the 5kms, but plan on doing to some training (particularily intervals) to assist with the cardio.

Congratulations, let's re-visit this quote one year from now.

Thank goodness I'm not a marathon runner. I dodged a bullet on that one.

I do think I am superior though

Awesome

Great Blog Tex!

The full episode is available at the link in the original post. I thought it was pretty good overall. A little oversimplified explanation of some of the theories, and not quite at the level I would expect of a David Suzuki endorsed product. Maybe it would have been better as a series, so they could ...

Anyone looking for a time around 2:30 is more than welcome to pace the hills with me. Look for the whitest legs on the course...that's me.

I've included all of the hills (from King Road to Valley Inn) in all of my LSD runs this year, so we've become good friends.
