You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.
Great race Sara. I was at the BMO Vancouver as well. In fact you passed me during the last 1/2 mile. I remember because I was thinking to myself "You aren't going to let that young woman beat you are you?" Then I realized that this old codger didn't have any gas left in the tank. If I had known you were an RA runner I would have gasped out "Good finish" instead of secretly wishing you a hamstring cramp. By the way my Garmin says I ran the last mile in 8:01 so you were moving at a pretty good clip. Great race report.
