marathon practice

I was up early on Sunday morning, meeting the rest of the marathon cycle escort team at the Plaza of Nations at 7am. We did the entire marathon route (42kms), at a painfully slow pace of 18 kms/hr. We go at that pace to match what the runners will actually be doing next week. It isn't quite a cardio workout but I figure anytime anybody cycles 42kms, it should be considered a workout. It was nice to be home by noon after having a post-cycle breakfast downtown.

In the afternoon, we went for another short walk and then I went shopping at Metrotown Superstore, which should be considered a tactical and challenging sport in and of itself.
