Walks - Sat. September 28 - Oct. 2

Some gals have all the fun!

 

No formal training that I'm aware of so I'm suggesting the following:

Saturday - Meet at Tim's at 8:00 am for 10 km - why not - the weather sounds lovely. Just remember that Leslie is closed between Lakeshore & the driveway to Tim's.

 

Monday at Loblaws for 6 km

Wednesday at Shoppers for 6 km.  I heard a request to switch back to Shoppers on Wednesday.

 

The day time walkers will know their schedules and meeting spots.

 

Some comments about the race last weekend from Helen:

Our race weekend started at Michelle's in her spiffy new apartment (moved only 10 days ago) for pasta dinner  -- delicious, and she and partner Gilles were most gracious hosts.

 On race morning, the weather looked touch and go, it was chilly and there were some sprinkles but the big rains held off till after we all finished. Yay! (Then it really came down.) Ottawa-Hull's prettiest bits were along the course, with lots of photo ops. And we all did well. Bob was off his goal time of 2:30 by only about 50 seconds, Ruth, Arlene and Libby were their usual lightning fast and Sharon said she took a minute off her best time. Eva was about five minutes ahead of Team Trish, with Cheryl and Helen, at the end -- and Trish was very happy with her relatively pain-free finish. The cool thing at the end, besides the dogtag-style medal, was a zip-up gauze jacket with hood instead of a mylar blanket. Useful for our next big race. All those surveyed said they'd do the race again.

 

A group of our walkers will be heading to participate in the Caven race - enjoy the countryside, do well, and enjoy those butter tarts!

 

See you Saturday.
