Run Report (by Ryne)

Jan 1st 2005 brought slightly warmer temps to Southern Ontario. Maybe that meant people drank more the night before as only myself and Tony Martin stood at the start line for the "long run" at 8am. Some more hardy souls surfaced later claiming a hangover got the best of them!

Tony feeling the effects of a well spent New Years Eve returned home after 2km. That left me temporarily alone feeling miserable on the 5k looped course. Later 6 others showed up for shorter distances. The farthest traveled were Max Bardwell and Sarah Langley both from England. Max is here for school and Sarah was just here for a visit and leaving back to Nottingham on the 4th.

Despite the icy areas on the course Max managed to PR for 10k in 38:30. He had previously been unable to break the 40 minute barrier. The others and myself enjoyed the 0 C temperatures and the rolling course through quiet streets in Waterloo. There are no stoplights or interruptions on the course allowing you to get into a rhythm even if hung over.

After a shower and hot tub at the YMCA folks enjoyed some home cooked vegetarian food. For those present a great running start to 2005!
