Chilly Challenge

I opened it up and was able to sprint across the finish where my family was waiting and cheering me on!

Community Support

This is the part of the races that I have really loved! Knowing that all of that support is for everyone in the race regardless of time or ability is such a source of positivity for a community!

Nova Scotian Camaraderie

I know you mentioned the weather being a factor – according to my Strava, it was 8° C, felt like 5° C, with 17 kph winds, and 93% humidity. It was *deeply unpleasant.*

Heartwarming Finish

It feels hard to say this kind of thing, but I was so damned proud of myself!
