Ottawa 2016

Back to the index The day before This year was my third Ottawa marathon and ninth overall. Due to the heat in the preceding days, there were even talks of cancelling the event. Fortunately, that did not happen. On the day before the race we left Montreal early, right after 8h. We were five in the car: my wife and myself in front and our daughter in the back seat with two friends visiting from Brazil. We parked our car near the Shaw Centre and went to visit the expo and get our bibs. "Our" because my daughter was also going to run. In the 10K.

Petit Train du Nord

Back to the index Once again I returned to the Petit Train du Nord to do the marathon there. It's one of the most beautiful events that I've ever participated, we run through the forest, near a river, with the mountains at a distance, very photogenic. The event happens on a Sunday, we travelled to the starting city on Friday afternoon. I got the bib at a store on the way north and then we continued our way. Our GPS told us to take some little country roads, because the main one was supposedly under repairs. It got dark very fast and even with the GPS it was hard to know the way. We eventually got to our hotel, much later than expected... :-( On Saturday we visited a national park nearby for some light walking. On Sunday morning I had breakfast at 6h in the restaurant of the hotel. Shortly before 8 we went to the start area by car. I only had to wait a bit for my group (6) to be called to the start line. The first half went quite well, I completed it in 1h52m18s, my second bes...
