• Date: June 26th, 2016
• Chip time: 01:15:22.6.
• I came in 4167th out of 4833 doing the run.

What went well

• While eating breakfast, I had the presence of mind to check when bag check closed, and had to cut it short. During a short walk to Univeristy Ave., a construction worker, seeing my bib, asked me if there was a marathon. I told him it was a 10k.
• I walked a bunch during the race, but felt generally OK. I was a little out of steam at the end, but nothing like the UBC 10k in 2014.
• I found my co-workers quickly after seeing a message in our group chat.
• The backdrop of CN Tower at the finish was cool, though I didn't take a photo of it.
• The race organization was a well-oiled machine, with the possible exception of the finishers' medals.

What wasn't the greatest, but was still OK:

• Sun shining in my face during the last few km. At least it wasn't for more than half the race.
• Walking home was fine. The shuttle bus wouldn't have gotten me much closer.

I started in the purple corral, though I wished I had started on corral up.

It was cool to run over the Gardiner Expressway. A more iconic shot would have been the CN Tower as I approached the finish line, though it would have been backlit by the sun.

The shirt was actually too small, so I didn't wear it during the race.
