… so everyone is getting antsy to get out of pool… or off of the road… and into the Lake! Still a bit nippy, but we’ll be there soon! Open water and tri season are coming soon!!!
Mike Marshall was in Gulliver’s Lake on the weekend for his first OWS of the season… chilly, but clear! And full of wimpy scuba divers… in dry suits! http://gulliverslake.com/
Meanwhile, a bunch of the crowd are wrapping up marathon season. Below are some interesting stats from the 2 races. As you may know, the Toronto Marathon was just relocated from the fall marathon calendar to the spring marathon calendar this year… because it was too close to the Scotia Toronto Waterfront Marathon… but ironically, they put it on the same day as the Mississauga Marathon?!
So here’s a list of the people I recognized that did the Mississauga or Toronto Marathons this weekend (email me if I missed some names, which I’m sure I did! I can still add them).
– Winning time = MM 2:27, TM 2:27
– Participants = MM 1093, TM 1296
– number of runners under 3 hours = MM 21, TM 20
Apparently 2 very comparable marathons… it’ll be interesting to see how they duke this one out!
Oh yeah… and being the good husband that I am… a special shout out to my wife, Joanne, who after doing Boston in a mildly disappointing 4:06, pulled off a PB and a BQ at Mississauga with a 3:53!
Results: Mississauga & Toronto Marathons, 2011
