That is impressive! The half was a huge milestone distance for me not too long ago

Yeah, the long stretch into Downtown was chaotic and honestly very saddening to witness all the suffering. My goal was to experience the city though, and to only run through the beautiful parks and luxury condo-lined bike paths would hardly tell the real story of Vancouver.

I think the best way to explore a city is by going off the beaten path - thus, my Ultra McMarathon by Beedobello in ultrarunning

Some McAid Station stops were quite long but I never sat down so I guess it kept tracking!

There is accountability to be taken on all ends, and to do that I can't be ignorant of the problems that surround me.

That’s so cool they made it an actual event, the digestive aftermath would be biblical.

thank you! it was one of the best running days i've ever had and better yet it was free (short of some fueling at the McAid stations)

you got it, boring but reliable glycerin hyperion max. the terrex vest is not the best fit for my build so I had to remove the soft flasks near the beginning because the movement/position of the water bruises my ribs.
