The Canadian Death Race! (http://www.canadiandeathrace.com/race_details.html)
Just finished leg 3, a 19 km run down a valley. I felt fantastic today and finished in 1:10. The footing was brutal, big round rocks one minute, sharp, pointy shale stuff the next. Halfway through, it started raining, so the slope got pretty slippery. Brilliant! Made me go faster! :D
This is an eventful day. I volunteered for a team, since I didn't have my own team this year. As it turned out, I'm on a British Commando Soldier team! :master: They are really nice blokes, and I'm picking up some of their language I think. :messedup: Really funny guys too, I'm going to enjoy having a beer with them tomorrow night.
Now, the next thing that happened - the guy who was supposed to run leg 5 got injured when he ran leg 1... so, of course I volunteered to run leg 5 too. :AOK: Stupid or considerate?
The thing is the last leg is run partly in the dark, and head lights are mandatory. It is also a really long leg at 22 kilometres and a lot of it steep uphill... so, I think I'm going to sleep well as long as Death doesn't catch me tonight. :pancake:
