Montreal Half Marathon 2011

Coming from doing all my training in sunny Tucson to rainy Ottawa was a huge shock!! The weekend following my return I had the Montreal Half-Marathon which is the National Championship. The last couple of weeks in Tucson were more geared towards training for that event putting the emphasis on running. Results were great and I was feeling great for the race the week before. At my return I was great with a pretty crappy week where I had to do my final runs mostly in the rain, but it actually prepared me more! Saying that because the day of the race the conditions were miserable! Cold, rainy and crazy windy! Wind gusts up to 50km/h! I was doing all of my training to finish with a time of 1:18:30 but ended up with a time of 1:20:15 when crossing the finish line in Montreal. Sure I could be upset, but considering I cant control external factors I was pretty pleased with my performance. Finished 44^th overall out of 2150 runners. Now that I got my half marathon out of the way, full focus is on multisport training!
