TFAYLIHMC

Today was a big day in our household.

Today we held the TFAYLIHMC

THE FIRST ANNUAL YVAN LEBLANC INTERNATIONAL HALF MARATHON CLASSIC

Whew! That's a mouthful hey!

Yvan has been training since June for his second half marathon. I was also supposed to be training but because of a nagging IT issue and a low back injury I had to swap running for physio and weight training.

There was a big half marathon held in Regina this week but Yvan didn't feel like driving down for the race so we held our own.

and so I give you the

TFAYLIHMC

Number of participants - One



Number of volunteers - three



Warm Up



The start of the race

On your mark! Get Set!

THE BIG FINISH!!!!!!!!



FINISHING TIME - 1:48:10 - an 11 minute improvement over his first half marathon!

Whoot!!! and done all on his own without other racers, the crowd etc. to keep the ole adrenaline up.

Yvan would like to thank all those who helped make this race possible!

We hope to double our participant numbers next year!!!!
