Congratulations! Thanks for the detailed report. Sounds like a very challenging race (and a wee bit dangerous too), but you got through it without too much damage. Sounds like you're in love with the event and I can see why! The pictures through the window in the rock are gorgeous. Perhaps one day ...

Feeling a little less afflicted, but it's a bummer that we didn't make it. Sigh. Too much going on in life and stress is taking it's toll.

But, my spirits are good, even if I'm hardly running

Things will look up again, I'm sure, and we'll see you at another race.

Congrats on the two-minute PB! Impressive finish, bearing down on the "enemy" (even if he is your friend!)

Very entertaining report, pics and all!

Who doesn't have things to learn? You enjoy racing. That's what matters!!!

You may only be 2nd in your age group, but you're their no. 1 Dad!

For this little downtick there will be a bigger uptick - that's the course you've been setting, like it or not!

YOu could have picked better weather .... but under the circumstances you did freakin' GREAT!!!!

Well done Tater Grande.

I can tell you're gunning for a second chance to make your (non-) goal time

Heal up quick and up and at'em.

Best Father's Day gift ever, from a daughter who obviously loves her dear Papa. You both look so happy in Tred's pic. (Great job, paparazzo.) BRAVO les deux!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the great report. And you got duck sausage, with beer. (Man, am I ever sad to have missed this). It's a date for next year,...

Great job Rockstar! I've done that course and it's a tough one. Nice to have a cheering squad, eh?

Sounds like a great post-race meal! Sorry I missed it.

Too bad about the rain, but it could have been worse (hot and muggy for example)

Congrats on the PB and hope to see you at another race soon. What's this Army thing.... will have to find out more about it.

You may not have enjoyed this race, but that's a great time! and tactically run.

Oh man! I mean dang! Why did I have to go and get sick and miss this?? Sounds like the best race ever and YOU are officially a middle of the packer. :shock: I ran one of my worst races (a 20K) there in 30 something weather. But, you were blessed with rain. Well done, Crash! Next thing you know, I'll...

Way to PB on the 5K! Nice speed workout. It's funny how mentally a 5K can last as long as a marathon, and be as hard on the body. In the end, a race is a race is a race... each goal is a unique, tough challenge. You're one guy who is always pushing himself to the next frontier. Your 18-minute 5K wil...

That's trail racin! Facing a decision every hill, how hard to push. It reminds me a passage from the quotes thread from last week: "It's very hard in the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voi...

The short of it: Chip time: 53:35.7 Average pace: 5:22 Women's overall place for 10K: 38/198 Place: 7/54 for women aged 40-49 Maybe not a PW, but damned near. The longer of it: After a fabulous day of fun and mild debauchery at a friend's cottage near North Hero VT on the lovely Champlain islands, a...

What he said!

Well done Kiza!!!

Very cool! Loved the report. Where was this? Which tri were you trying?

I can relate to silly... (Too tired to write my race report, but sneak preview: my day before the race nutrition included, a beer at lunch, a tequila shot mid-afternoon, two G&Ts before dinner, wine with dinner, and cigarettes...oh and about 5 hours sleep) You did just great on a challenging cou...

Outstanding time! Congrats on the 1st place podium finish!!

You really are the man! I really couldn't understand what you were doing at the start line (nice to see you!) planning to run the 10K with a 5K bib on, but hey, you did what you wanted and got what you paid for

Take care of that blister! Hope to see you at Brome but still undecided....

Nice seeing you and Doug (Tredmiller) and Crash this morning at the race start. Great job on a tough course!! Sounds like your legs held up pretty well and you had a fun run. We sure had beautiful weather! (-a bit hot at times out there, but some lovely shady bits too.) Not sure I'll be at Brome Lak...

Trying to finalize preps for a bathroom reno. Hell, it's hard work.

Gorgeous weather out there - probably fit in a short run.

Good luck to 26.2 and other racers! Have a great day.

Today, working at shoppers all day, and then planning a run this evening.

Yay, the movers arrived!

Enjoy the run.

Gorgeous day in Montreal - 6K on the log

Your reports are my favouritE!!!! I guess it's time to add you to my sig line!

You're the best sport there is. WAY TO ROCK THE NCM!!

Belly dancers... Yeah, man, I remember those frm 2004. Ottawa has spirit, you betcha.

Hope the kneeskis feel better soon.

A brisk 5K or so done in the damp.

Good morning for a run though I wasn't expecting it.

Have a great one!

just in from volunteering as a marshal at the Iron Knee trail race. in hindsight, i believe i was placed on the trail to serve as bear and mosquito bait to protect the runners. :lol: :shock: ... but you;re alive to tell the tale. Well done! I ran 14K, mostly at a slowish pace, but with some speedy ...

Cool!
