Arrived in Ottawa!


 Arrived in Ottawa. Went to expo to pick up bib and tech shirt. Toured Parliament Buildings.

Very concerned with the hot and humid weather conditions forecasted for tomorrow's Ottawa Marathon. There was talk of cancelling the race; however, it's a go, with an alert notice of "Red" - high heat - i.e., potentially dangerous conditions. The 10 K tonight was delayed until 7 PM and tomorrow's half marathon will start 45 minutes earlier. I had hoped for a 6 AM start (rather than 7 AM) but the newspaper stated they could not guarantee water station set up in time.


Activated my bib.
