Ahh, what a day. I got a 13 km warmup before my race. :) :bootyshake
My hotel is only 5 km from the zoo, so I decided to get up early and walk/jog there. Wrote down the instructions and studied the map. Well, it turns out I read it wrong. What I thought to be east, was actually west. By the time I realized this, I had already put in some 6km... so I backtracked and got there 10 minutes before race start, WELL WARMED UP... hehe
I had 34:23 and was 4th Master. I think I would have been 3rd if I had done a shorter warmup.... :)
This was my slowest 10K race this year. My best has been 33:49.
I had fun anyway. Now I'm going to see what other fun things I can do while I'm in Toronto. Hoping for a jazz or blues club tonight, and maybe Niagara Falls tomorrow.
I'm meeting Algonquin on Monday! Looking forward to that.
