Last long run of this training cycle. The rain held off, as it looks like it had poured over night. The power went off in our place just before 5 am, and was restored about four hours later.
It was a bit warmish down in the Humber Valley. The tree canopy kept the breeze off me, and I found that my technical undershirt and long sleeve ATB shirt were a little too much to be wearing. I thought about ditching the undershirt, but didn't want to start removing and replacing clothes along the path. So, I was a bit more "perspiry" that I like, but it was fine. I'll definitely be going short sleeve for the race, but I've already bought my throw-aways for the early morning and beginning of the race.
Six km's tomorrow morning at race pace. Then a couple of short runs next week. Then . . . here we come OTTAWA!!!!
