Ibuprofen. It's out there. It works. Run for the Toad (Cambridge/Paris, On.) what a magnificent trail run. If you haven't done this race put it high on your list today. Food, setup, organization, spectator perspective, & race course score a 10 out 10. To the Directors & Organizers of this event, I tip my hat. Simply perfect.
The Barrie Roadrunners had a solid representation at the race outnumbering he semi-professional boys from North Vancouver.The winner knocked off 15 minutes !!! from the previous record in the 50k. His time, are you ready,..3 hrs 23 mins.
The fifty is four loops of 12.5K of trail of which 10% is flat. I was warned to take it easy on the first loop, & thank goodness i did. However by the fourth loop my hamstrings & quads were on fire from the descents.
Congratulations to the Barrie runners who conquered the 25 km. They were, Jennifer Thurston, Cindy Mcgarragle, Lorna Avery-Cooper, Mike Murphy, Linda Sanson, Donna Fiton, Deborah Lancia, Kelly Huang, Jennifer Bohle, Joanne Wallace, Mike Strano, Brian Lancia, Neil Phillips. A big salute to Terry MacFarlane & Sandra Lalonde for taking the 50 Km. Job well done my apologies ahead of time if i have missed anyone. And Rick and Tracey.

Not to forget our adopted BRR from Orillia Tracy(aka Trixie)MacLean for doing the 25km & Rick MacLean for doing his second 50 km this year. Other out of towners Cynthia Osborne and Carole Charest were also there to represent Barrie.
