World Run I / ReportsGoto: 2005-05-29 2005-05-31 USA 2005-05-30: 4Distance today: 51.0 km (Accumulated: 22206.0 km) Country: USA 2005.05.30. [Wolseley; green road sign on Hwy. 1: "Wolseley, East Access"] - [Broadview; green road sign on Hwy. 1: "Broadview ->" ]. 51km, 5:05:24h. Excl. food, water, road-finding, toilet etc. stops Total 22165km. Start: 9:58am. Finish: 15:44pm Time GMT - 8 hours +11c, overcast, & light wind at start. 15c, Almost overcast and same at finish. Injury continued.. First 20km/2 hours went well with almost no indication in the ankle and heel (there was the usual pain in the hands; but that?s another matter). But like yesterday the pain set in full strength, giving the pain centre a good "grill", the last 3 hours. Yet; in order not to dwell in that drab subject here is a little local history from my finish location Broadview: In the local museum of the approximate 800 person city stands one of its relics - a stuffed goat, who earned the name/rank: "sergeant Bill" during the 1. World War where it accompanied the local contribution to the Canadian troops; and saw action at the second battle of Ypres in France. - Now there's local history for ya'! Well; besides the humour its worth remembering the tremendous effort and sacrifice done by Canadians amongst many other to clear up when things went "wrong" for us back in Europe. - And makes the hardship I am facing at present seem minimal when compared :-) |
