It's been TEN YEARS since I did this one. My first time was in 98 when I was in grad school and Boris Prokopiev was still the RD. I have so many fond memories of this race through the years including in 2003 when I flew in the day before and got up and popped a 1:26 the next day!
The course has since changed and is now 2 loops but with many tight 180 degree turns that slow it down. It was a warm and very windy one this time-25C as I ran by according to the thermoeter. I ended up 7th overall this time and 3rd masters. My legs were grumpy and I just couldn't get enough fluids despite drinking like a fish.
These guys get my best socks and best shirt award-Life is too Short to Run Shit Races! Best quite ever and it's on the sleeves of the longsleeve shirt.
