Jeux FADOQ - Finales provinciales 2019
Jeux FADOQ Provincial Finals This year the finals of the Jeux FADOQ happened in Trois-Rivières. My two events (10K race and 3K racewalking) happened on a September 19th, a Thursday. When I finished work on the day before I took a bus from downtown Montreal to go to Trois-Rivières. The trip was excruciating, the bus took almost one hour just to get out of Montreal. There was traffic and construction, so the pace of the bus was maddeningly slow. And the bus stopped at the Laval terminal before getting on the road. And then it stopped at some halfway point for at least fifteen minutes to handle cargo. What a waste of time! The whole trip took almost three hours! Three hours to travel 140 Km!! Not funny... Anyway, I got to my hotel, took a shower, ate my dinner in the room and went to sleep around 10:30 pm. I woke up before 3 am, tried to sleep a bit more and by 5:30 am I was on. I got ready, went down to the restaurant and ate a delicious breakfast:
