Race Comments:
- ran the first 12-13k just behind the 1:30 bunny. These was really helpful as it kept me going. Good size group running with the bunny.
- the km and bit before the turn around (out and back) was on a dirt road. Traction wasn't too bad surprisingly on the stretch.
- hamstring was acting up again in the last third of the race.
- was very agressive today when people tried to pass. I didn't make it easy for them.
- the wind was more of a factor once we got out around the airport. Not horrible but in your face for a while.
- no water bottle on the course. Drank every other water stations just a bit.

Organization:
- really well organized. Water stations every 2.5 k. No problem just to show up on race morning, get your kit and race.
- new Y location is excellent for the race base.

Other notes:
- not as many people from Ottawa this year.
- Race morning preparations went well.
- oatmeal for breakfast again.
- more on sports psych preparation later but this went well as well.
