MTA: --> My blog for this race
OK, not in the mood to write a race report right now, so I will give you the basics. 2 of Team Daddyo ran the 30K 'Around the Bay' Road race in Hamilton Ontario...the Oldest Race in North America...it started 4 years before Boston. view event history
Mrs Daddyo went in looking at her longest distance yet and coose to run it as a large group marathon training run with her sights set on continuing marathon training without needing to spend this week recovering. She did awesome and finished very upright and very smiley. I am proud of her determination and a great result for such a tough hilly course.
I went in to today, still slightly undertrained but feeling good. I ran the first 10k with a friend and his pace so that I would be forced not to start out too fast. I ended up finishing strong and feeling better than I have after any Half Marathon to Marathon length race. It lef me feeling very good about the future!
Result - 30K - 2:35:29
Garmin - Splits
1st 10 - 53:37
2nd 10 - 51:32
3rd 10 – 50:20
1st - 15k - 1:19:28
2nd - 15K – 1:16:01
The hills started around 20K and last until 27, up and down, up and down with a massive down then back up, almost 1 full k up, and quite steep. Thankfully I live and train in a hilly neighborhood!
A very challenging but lovely course.
Our fellow RA compadre Tuf_aint_enugh ran a great race - under 2:28! This guy is really turning it on these days.
All in all, a very enjoyable day .
MTA: Monday morning update - best I have ever felto n a post long-race day! Lattes are on me today!

| Way to go, Daddyo. Sorry I missed you. You ran a great race. Not easy with the wind. Otherwise, a great day temperature wise. Congrats to the missus. The elevation profile says it all. Terrific negative split. I've posted my race report as well, so have a look when you get a minute. Again, great run. Way to work. |

Nice run Daddyo.
The elevation profile says it all.
I ran in your neck of the woods a couple of weeks ago... the run up Vic Park was almost the end of me... I'm sure that helps with those hills in Hamilton.
