Great report and race, Sheldon. I am going to have to try to attend at least one of the other nine runs. Have you an updated list of the other nine events? :lol:

Okay Unless it is Paris France I can see the Paris Half in November to be there with my handy camera to record the final event!! I will work on this. Scotia Bank and Detroit, I will be running. In Detroit, Mrs. Tortoise may get some pics though.

Sounds great Robbie! I could use a pacer, unless I'm chasing Dave again. Where are you, up in Bruce Penninsula still?

Nope just got home, caught a few nice salmon, went for a couple nice runs.

UltraRune made the Cottage Times Paper, I think the title was "Bruised Bruce" something like that, I kept it but it's still packed. It was a small article about his speed attempt of the Bruce Trail. I'll post it in a couple days.

No one cares what I would do; therefore, I can do anything!!

Well done to both of you. Are you two planning on making all 10 events a series of high-testosterone grudge matches?

So, Sheldon, are you gonna get a shirt that says "Eat my dust, pretty boy."

Ok I would have LOVED to have run this race (everyone seems to have had such a blaast) and I would have killed to see the 1 second difference!

Congrats to the winner :wink:

As I wrote in Dave's report, I would have loved to have seen you and Dave racing this one.....I want to see a replay of this at the Toad, OK?

The new avatar is great too.
