Banff-Calgary Relay

Team Pending (my team) placed 2nd this weekend in the BCR. Our solid leading going into leg 9 was quickly closed by none other than Jeremy Deere (4:55/Mile pace... yikes) on the Esso Tigers... or should I call them the Esso "Ringers". ;-) We continued to lose another 10mins or so in the next two legs... but were solidly in second to the finish.

Edit: Our team name is an inside joke.... something about no team name was submitted originally, so it was just "pending".... so Bernie, our team captain left it at that.

I never seem to run well at the BCR, it's right in the middle of my build for the triathlon season. I managed a 6:06/Mile pace for my 16k leg 5 though, but it was mostly downhill, and strong tailwind assisted. I think my legs would have seized if I had to run even a few more km's.

For a lark I might signup of for the Mother's Day 5k next weekend... I never run 5k's so it might be fun.
