First longish run since Ottawa, I think

Re: Sunny Sunday
Have a great run, all you racing people!
I did 14k on my own, since when I got to the RR, I discovered that the half-marathon group was running out of St. Albert. My fault for not reading the RR e-mail close enough, I guess (and not signing up for the group).
Despite being on my own, my run was very pleasant: the sun was shining, the breeze was cool but not too stiff, and I didn't get lost in Klarvatten area! Always the sign of a good run.

10k race this morning. 50:12, which is way off a pb but as good as I've trained for. Chatted with Hammie's hubby before the race.
Later today, 1 hour bike ride and 500m swim.

Thanks for the support, Jen. And the cookies too!
Ended up with 1:36 (Chip) today. Been having sleepless nights this year on the night before a race so I didn't go at the pace I had planned on. Legs are feeling good as a result so recovery will be quick and I'm happy overall how the day went!
It was nice to see Holly again. Didn't bump into stampie or marymac though. Congrats on the PB Bryan!

Re: Sunny Sunday
Congratulations to Stampie and RobW. I manage 2:05:10 (unofficial because sportstats seems to have misplaced results for places 2100 - 2200).
Sorry we missed Jennifer and Holly - we spent quite a bit of time wandering around the finish area but I distracted trying to spot several of our runners.
