Ottawa Marathon Photo Race Report

Ottawa Marathon Photo Race Report

- Weather cooperated!!! Cloudy; only got hot and humid in final 3 K.
- Lots of water and electrolyte drink at fluid stations; Key for me was the have a water bottle with me and fill up at the fluid stations
- Would have been great to start 30 minutes earlier (half marathon and 10 K had earlier start times) - issue was to have fluid stations ready
- Very well organized race!
- Looking forward to next year - just registered with promotion of pay for half marathon to run the full marathon :-)
Thrilled that full/ultra marathon #38 is done

Amazing tech shirt!
