This was my Sunday.....up at 4:50 am........coffee, facebook, get dressed, make toast, hop in the car and take off to catch the 6:20am ferry to the city.......ride ferry for 40 minutes, drive 15 minutes, park car, hop on shuttle bus, go across to city and WAIT for an hour to start race......it was a little chilly, as it was the first day in a long while when the sun wasn't shining brightly by 8 am.....Sue and I met up with one lady from our running group on the ferry, and then when we got to the Shuttle bus destination we met up with the fellow who is also in our running group, who was nice enough to pick up our race packages and we all rode the bus together......the we hung out in Starbucks for 40 minutes and tried to stay warm......not that it was cold but we aren't dressed for standing around in the breezy morning.
So at 9:00 we were off on our 14km run........Sue had a time in mind ..........I did not! But she casually mentioned wanting to be around the 1:20 mark for time, I thought fat chance.......but we would just see how it went.........
Kitsilano Beach |
The Seawall |
Prospect Point, this was not a nice hill to the top....... and "no" we did not stop and have a look around at the scenery, we trudged our way to the top of the freaking hill! |
Over the Lions Gate Bridge to West Van, this was the reason I wanted to do this run! |
Capilano River, we ran over, didn't see any salmon spawning |
Ambleside Park was the finish with this totem welcoming us home |
