The Vancouver Sun - Run

Sunday was a glorious warm and clear spring day - a great day overall to be spent in the garden or for a little jog in the park.
Ashley opted for the later - not so little jog in the park.
Sunday heralded the 22nd annual Vancouver Sun-Run (The Vancouver Sun is the local newspaper). 50, 700 and something crazy people, I mean, enthusiastic entrants participated in the 10 km run through the city streets of downtown Vancouver; making the 2006 event the Sun-Run with the most entrants ever.
This is a shot from 2004 taken by the Vancouver Sun (not me). From what Ashley has told me about his experience, this is exactly what it was like - an endless sea of bodies.
Well doing a run such as this was on Ashley's life to do list, so that has been accomplished now.
The winner of the race did the run in 28 minutes - a bloke from Kenya. Ashley took 55 minutes and came in at 7090th place, which when you consider tehre were 50,700+ participants - is pretty good really, one of the top 15% anyway. All the participants times and palcings were in the paper this morning - imagine being recorded as the last person to come in!
