I ran the Vancouver Marathon on May 1st. Beautiful day it was. I drove down day off, with an hour to spare. Spent most of that hour in the bathroom line up. At 7:29(race start 7:30), I rushed to bag check ditched my bag, and raced off to race start(that had already started), so I felt panicky. I had so much energy! I started off way to fast, trying to find my place in the race. I just felt so great. I kept telling myself to slow down! I did slow down 20km-42! But still finished. My best BMO time is 3:51, so I was slightly disappointed in my 4:07 time, but also had a great day, and was proud to finish! The Canucks shirt: I wore it during race. It was so fun int he beginning. People cheering " Ya little Canuck!" and " Go Canucks!" By km 30 when people cheering out something Canuck related I just felt like crying " But, but, I'm Shannon MacLeod!" Not Canuck this and that. Funny nevertheless and was fantastic day!
