What a great weekend in Huntsville. Marianne and I races with many friends from the Muskoka area and
southern Ontario. We spent a lot of time around the finish area welcoming and congratulating countless
finisher’s all of whom had great races. Congrats to all!
For myself I did have a great race while trying to guage my efforts to go under 5 hours however some
slight miscalculations in pacing put me at 5:02 at the end of the day. I was glad to see 50 year old’s
passing me at the 65k mark on the bike because it seems obvious that I can only get faster. I had a great
run going blowing through the half way marker at 45:22 not knowing that there was still over 10k to go.
Needless to say I did not negative split and did not break the 5hr barrier. Thanks goodness that there is
always next year. I did like the course though despite the never ending hills; what a challenge!
