Orangeville 2006

Despite the weather being brutal, it was 37C with the humidity by halfway through my race, I did it.

This was my fastest time yet and I came in 19th overall, my best overall position so far.

Plus I got my first ever top three award.

Not only was I in the top three, but I came first in my age group!!!

I am still pinching myself!
