A map of the marathon routeSo, aside from some problems on a hill in Stanley Park (damn you Prospect Point) I had a lovely 21.1km run on Sunday (May 3rd – Vancouver Half-Marathon).

My time was 1:54:05 (a pace of 5:25/km) which I think is not too bad. Beat my time from last July in Calgary (Alberta Jeep Dealer’s Half-Marathon – 1:55:02) by a minute and my time from last May in Edmonton (Dashin’ for Compassion – 1:55:36) by a minute and a half. Not bad. Was hoping for better but… damn you Prospect Point!

Everyone from Team in Training did awsomely well during the race. James Kercher kicked my butt at 1:49:51. Best of all, the 200 runners from Team in Training that participated at the marathon, raised nearly $1 Million for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! WOO!

Here is the only photo I have of the race. Thanks to my cousin Craig for snapping it with his Blackberry as I approached the chute.
