Congrats on getting another race done under not so favourable conditions and a great report! Am I disappointed in my run, no way I was strong the whole time!!! Don't beat yourself up over how strong you felt for the duration of the race. You were thrown some crazy weather that is way out of your con...

Congratulations Marathoner!!! Especially given the conditions that were presented to you on race day. Heat does weird things to the inside of our bodies. It was smart running through every hose, as external cooling is just as important as internal cooling. Odds are, the GI distress you had was relat...

8K with bruyere on the seawall & Stanley park, where bruyere got accosted by an ornery goose.

Stay safe Ottawa peeps! Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate...

Thanks everyone for your kind words!

Kendra, I think you pretty much summarized my RR and how I felt, you never know what will happen on race day, even if you've had a great training cycle.

Rest assured, there will be a next time!

Great report, with an equally awesome outcome! Your PB & BQ, well that is just EPIC! Your dedication and tenacity during training was second to none. Your pictures truly confirm how lose and ready you were on race day. I can certainly equate to ‘Runners Math’, I think we all do it. :wink: :lol: ...

Once again, It's late and there will most likely be typos, but that is the joy of my RR.

And, yes I changed my title slightly.

Sorry for the tardiness of this report. Like I said in my journal, I really wanted to let everything sink in before I composed my thoughts, then life, work and family took priority. I'll try to just expand on what I said on Facebook the evening that I did the race. Just a recap, here is what I poste...

Virus sidelines Canadian marathoner for weeks ahead of qualifying window I got this right from Dylan's personal FB page and it is a bitter pill to swallow. Deep inside I was hoping he would qualify after a failed attempt in Japan last December, but knew ast the deadline loomed, his chances are beco...

Sorry, I should have come here and updated. Thanks for the support & tracking! Stampie 29K 2:51:30 Pace for that split was 6:39/k compared to 5:46/k from previous split. Not sure if that's a glitch or if he struggled with that last 5k :think: No glitch, I was struggling! The heat was starting to...

I love Rob, and I was really wishing that he could do it-- unfortunately he doesn't always run the smartest race, and I think Sunday he started too fast. But he seems to have a great attitude now. It's an attitude that we can all learn a lot from (which is why I love listening to his podcasts). I h...

Well done Ken!

And.... Ken is in!

Hot one it seems, lots of runners I'm tracking really slowing down in the 2nd half.

In Rob's case, I wonder if he made an ever so brief stop at Wellesley College?
