The Canada Day run

So here are our only pictures from the Canada Day run. Unfortunately we only got a couple, partly because the batteries were dying. Also, Jeremi took both of them, so he's not in them. Here's a picture from before the race at Gerd's apartment, where a few of us met at 7:15 to walk over to where the race began at 8:00 am. Gerd is wearing his hat and sunglasses which make him look like Jack Nicholson trying to evade reporters.


And here we are after the race , at a local coffee shop to have some celebratory Coffee Toffee Chillers and pastries for (from left) Ed, Gerd, and Laura. Jeremi and I held out until we were able to get beer at a bar down the street at 11:00 am. On the whole the race went pretty well. Jeremi finished ahead of me by almost 2 minutes, where he was at around 1:03 and I was around 1:05, but we got our timing chips mixed up (shoe tags that record our exact start and stop times), so I actually beat him according to the official race results.
