Happy St Pats Day!!!

St Pats 10 Km races were last weekend and we had a few racers out. The weather prooved to be good and Mary finally broke her bad luck of racing in poor weather.

The 1st 10 Km was held around the university and we had Myron leading the charge coming home in 38:09, followed by Mike in 48:09, then Sue in 48:37, and Mary in 50:38.

At the downtown race we had Katie doing us all proud and running to a very strong finish of 40:50. This was good enough for 4th overall and 1st overall woman. Unfortunatelty due to a timing strap issue Katie did not recieve a time. Too bad about being official but definitey a great run.

This was the 1st of many races for lots of Calgarians and we are all looking forward to the next race. Kevin has Hamilton 30 Km coming up soon, and then some of us will be back at the Icebreaker for another 10 Km.

The weather has been amazing recently and please be careful if you are going out for bike rides. Take a few minutes to check out your bike and ensure that it is in good shape. Also bring some spare tubes with you as there is a lot of gravel on the roads.

Happy training and Happy St Pats Day!!!
