Knee too sore to run today. Too bad as it looked like something I would have enjoyed before my injuries.
But today was a great day to be a spectator. Very cool that the FC Cup ended up in a tie. So proud of the younger Canadian junior team to almost win the Cup. To see the smiles on those young faces wearing the maple leaf for the first time ever was just a great moment. Especially proud of AdventureGirl! who ran super well and looked calm during all the yelling and screaming.
Great races by the Americans in the BK Cup. Congrats to them.
But the toughguy and most improved award in my books goes to my awesome club mate Serge! He ran several races very well and looked strong and confident anchoring Canada to gold in the men's relay. This despite either a broken or badly bruised rib.
DVOA raised the bar big time. So great to see them focus on the elites and especially the top juniors today with the relay. The relay guide was brilliant and NevMonster and Balter worked the announcing really well. DVOA is simply an awesome club. Then again if there is a club that can match their event quality in Canada then it is Ottawa. Already looking forward to NAOC2014!!
