Full with good food, advises, brand new shoes and functional clothing, donated by Running Soles, we headed off on a nice run out of Kamloops after a last chat with the newspaper " Out of Kamloops" (or something very similar) An early start for the so far longest stretch in Canada to go. We rolled down the hills with a light tailwind. Then we were met by the local TV from Kamloops for a small interview and some shots. Averaging 10.4 km/hr over the day we tried to keep the brakes a bit short. Somewhere near the end I celebrated my first 50km run and topped it off with another 10 before reaching Chase. We were on the last stretch met by an older couple that have been waiting all day for us to sign our names on the picture of that day?s paper and received a ice cold bottle of water, many thanks!!! Time for some ultra runner?s health food after the shower: French fries, hamburger, coca cola and a milkshake What a day!! |
