The Acura 10miler race was pretty fun. Given I only registered yesterday afternoon it wasn’t something I originally has on my race schedule - it was definitely a kind of last minute decision. It was just another excuse for a good run sunday morning, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It was well organized and it wasn’t too humid given the temperatures in Toronto the last week. Running out onto Leslie Spit there wasn’t any shade but since you were out in Lake Ontario there was a tiny breeze.

The course was pretty cool, until today I have never been out along the Leslie St. Spit, its a really nice place I am thinking that I should start to make some more use of it. Running out into Lake Ontario you almost forget your in Toronto when you look down South over the lake and than at the turn around you look North and see a wonderful view of the Toronto Sky Line!

I alway enjoy running in a group of people, there’s always someone to catch up to. Anyways upon finishing I watched the Awards for the top 6 male and female finishers and headed back home. I checked the results when I came home and realized that I came 3rd in my age group! I was totally not expecting that.  Here is my official times and splits:

139 1:13:29.3 4:35 1:13:01.4 1985 SHAW, JORDAN TORONTO 119/802 3/44 Men 20 - 24 36:57 36:33

I thought I was doing just about average I wasn’t pushing too hard because of the heat but apparently I did pretty well, I was surprised to say the least, 3rd place in my age group, 119 in my gender and 139 overall.  

Maybe it had to do with my pre-race diner of Greek style Gnocchi and a strawberry pine-nut salad?

The race was fun, apparently I did well and it was a great day for a run! 

I’ve just moved downtown and am looking for some people to run with. So far I’ve really only run solo but that can get a little boring at times especially during long runs. If anyone wants to hit up a run sometime send me a message and we’ll get running! My email is jrdnshw@gmail.com. Enjoi your Sunday!
