I am way behind with my stories!!....work is typically hectic, especially May and June. Then add training, races and all that supports these fun times...and another month slips by!Saskatoon was great! Lisa and I stayed in a lovely old hotel and added shopping and the pre race pasta dinner to our mini holiday.
We picked up my friend Jodi...coincidentally the same age as Lisa...on our way to the race. The two had never met before but became fast friends...they were even dressed alike! They ran the 10 km together, and just hearing about their run made the weekend for me.
I ran my little heart out but was disappointed in my final time of 2:06. I had hoped to be under 2 hours....and felt like maybe I would be.
However, there were a few issues with the race...perhaps the organization of it: 12 porta pots for 2000 racres and 600 volunteers...? I started at the very back thanks to the long lineup at the portapots...however my chip and gun time were the same...?
At any rate, the weekend was awesome...
Ended up with bronchitis the next day...have been plagued with that this spring... and have an appointment coming up with a respiratory clinic.
