Sir C's attempt @ 5Peaks 5km at St.Bruno with pics!!!

Postby Sir Crashalot » Sun Aug 17, 2008 5:09 pm

An omen!
The highway heading east across the island of Montreal was closed this morning while I was trying to get out of town... uh oh... Lots of slow traffic later, I finally picked up the opened portion of the highway & made good time to St.Bruno.
Pulled into the parking lot & started to gather my gear together & who do I see? My favorite running store/family show up, Pegasus. Chatted with Renato & Christine for a bit before heading up to registration. NOTE for QuickChick, Pegasus can order those Nike shoes you tried on at Mt.Royal. Got the kit & backdown to the car to decide & get the race gear on :roll: Yup... still can't make up my mind till the last second. I also had the great pleasure of running into Weak Willed, Hermes, Sanders & Ken (all the way from Ottawa... hope you are reading this!) who yelled out "Cyclocross!" to me. Aside from meeting friends & RM folks, this was just icing on the cake!
Soon enough, the race began. This will be the 4th time I am at St.Bruno for a race, the other 3 times with another organization but just about the same trail network. Up the hill, down the hill, up some more, & still up... anyways, you get the picture. I started suffering when I hit the first long gradual ascent... hooray for me.... Quite a bit of walking today as I was gassed quite a few times. By the time I hit the 4th km mark, my "recovered" ankle was getting sore...again... I had the good fortune to link up with 2 ladies who I used as pacers otherwise I think I would have been much slower. I was quite happy when it was all over :lol: :lol: :lol: & rather relived that I did not register for the Enduro event (which I heard that some poor BOP soul got hurt .... hope he/she is ok...)

Drum Roll Please!!! The moment we have all been waiting for!

Awesme job on finishing what you started. Was this the same route as the Sentier run? Sorry could not make it. Got up @ 5:30 to watch men's 8 rowing and then went back to sleep and couldn't get up.

Nice job - bet you wish you had had your bike with you. Actually sounds like you raced it and had fun - be careful, they are addictive.

Woo hoo, it really was your day, great defender. Well done! :wink:

I tried to encroach on your territory and have discovered the pleasures of the back of the pack.

Thanks for the great pix! (Aside - Nice camera! an SLR right? It's like a machine-gun... the way it can take so many pix in such quick succession. Awesome.)

We'll have to do this again next year!. 8) Trail racing really has addictive potential! :)
