Toronto Waterfront Marathon on September 26th. It is an IAAF Silver Label race. Mungara also won in 2008 and is hoping for a 3-peat performance. Rono returned in 2007 to place second in a dramatic sprint to the line. That day, John Kelai ran 2:09:30 -- with Rono 5 seconds back -- to take out Waldemar Cierpinski’s 31-year-old record for the fastest time ever on Canadian soil, that had stood since the Montreal Olympics [2:09:55]. Last year, Mungara surprised even himself. After winning by two seconds in 2008, in 2:11:01, he ran a huge PR to clock 2:08:32 last Fall, and take another minute off the Canadian All-comers mark.

I picked out the Sebagoman Triathlon put on by Genesis Adventures at Harriman State Park. This park is just 35 miles north of New York City on the Palisades along the Hudson River. Beautiful park with seven lakes and miles of open roadway. Great setting for a Triathlon race. It was a cool morning but the water temperature was still 75 degrees–– comfortable for swimming. It was a two loop course that came out to 1500 meters or .9 of a mile. Swimming's not my strong suit as I tell people I'm a land mammal. I hoped on my bike and start pedaling up hill. There were lots of them and they were huge on this 40km (25 mile) course. It was a killer climbing them but the ride down was exhilarating. I fell on one of the downhills on a sharp corner but I got right up and kept on chasing after other racers. Finished the bike ride and had to run the bike over some broken concrete, not the best surface for biking shoes. Got in the transition area and changed into running shoes. I don't have that transition technique worked out yet. I see the winner did it in 19 seconds, it took me almost two minutes. I'm a turtle in the transition zone. Headed out on the run on a hilly 10k out and back course. I didn't get into running mode until the 5k mark. Biking and running are two different sports. I finally crossed the finish line knowing that I gave it my all in a sport that takes endurance, technique and some luck with equipment that doesn't go haywire while you're racing. If you're in New york and you have a chance to do an event at Hariman State Park you'll enjoy the scenery and the facilities. Until next time, keep on keeping on running." =========================================== GLSP Television Network 2010 Event Coverage =========================================== Art McCafferty - Producer Jennie McCafferty - Associate Producer Peter Allen - Reporter MIke Duff - Reporter Gary Morgan - Reporter Tim Hygh - Reporter Brad and Bill Shelton - Reporters David Manwiller - Videographer Carter Sherline - Videographer Scott Sullivan - Videographer
