Our first race in Canada was a half marathon organized by the MEC. Because the race was placed in Richmond we had to get up very early to managed start at 8.30 am. I really do not understand why running competitions here are starting so early: (Of course, we arrived about 10 minutes before the start. We ran to sign in for the race and still about 1 minute before the start we were fixing numbers on our T-shirts. No warm up before race of course :) Race started and we ran at breakneck speed. I was sure that I will not be able keep pace 4:07/Km :) and after 3rd km my pace settled on 4:30. Venca with his ligth legs and a smile on his face, which he kept until the end of the race won in really good time. For me the first 10km were ok, but then it broke and trail became endless . Nevertheless, I somehow finished as a 2nd woman with a time of 1:38. I did not expect any better time, because I haven´t been training much and surface was gravel. Anyway, we all learned our lesson, that we are not going to race straight long flat profile trail anymore :)
