Fun and fast times in Ottawa last weekend! A large crew headed north of the border, ready to rock the Canadian red.

Ottawa Sub 3 Crew

We are staying in this awfully cheap hotel, that doesn't seem like a gigantic mansion at all. Here is most of the sub three crew today, in our race shirts. Not pictured: rachel (2:56!) and Drew (2:52!). Big PRs all around!

Robin Watkins' latest prize winnings...

Guess what you get when you win a 50 miler...
