Vancouver Sun Run!
I'm happy that I was sub-40, but think I could have gone faster. I started with a bunch of TRIUMF folks and we'd planned to run together for the first 5km, then push on. Unfortunately I think they paced it too slowly, especially for the first km. It's downhill, and we did it in 4:00; we probably could have shaved 15-20s off without having too much of an impact later on. I ended up running ahead after about 2km.
Happy with my performance on the uphills - they hurt way less than I remembered.
Finished very strong with a good sprint. I expect the finish line photos will show all sorts of intense/terrible/non-smiling faces.

Easy ride back home from Gastown. Got caught at pretty much every set of lights on Burrard St.
We had brunch at Flying Pig. For a place that has "pig" in its name, I was a little disappointed in the bacon and sausage. I wasn't too surprised by the bacon (Canadian bacon doesn't even come close to the full glory of proper English back bacon), but expected a more flavoursome and higher quality sausage. The free banana bread was great though!
