Yesterday was the last chance for Amber and I to race in Calgary while still living here, the final Calgary Road Runners x-country race; Weaselhead 7k. I started off a lot faster than I thought I should, I wanted to take it easy and fall in behind the leaders but they had the same idea and everyone fell in behind me. I could still feel the reminants of the cold I've been fighting all week so after the first kilometer three strong runners passed me pretty convincingly. I tried to stay with them, but the pace was just too much for me to sustain. I kept a couple of them in sight but out of reach for the rest of the race and finished 4th. A great race and I was happy to go out with a solid result in a very tough field.
Amber and I have been training really well all winter and the results have definitely shown. We are looking forward to our move to Grande Prairie and finally becoming 'big fish' in a small pond and creating a great life for ourselves up north.
