Toronto Marathon 2011 Post Edit

Today was again a day that makes living

on Yonge Street exciting.

It was the Toronto Marathon.

It started with the half marathon and this year

they also had a walking half marathon.

I took Crockett outside at a time when I anticipated the participants

of the full marathon to pass by our building.

We are at the 5km mark, so the runners are still fresh.

The lead runner was bib # 1 Josephat Ongeri

His final placement was 2nd with a time of 2:29:19

The 2nd place runner was bib # 4 Brendan Kenny

His final placement was 1st - THE WINNER - with a time of 2:27:20



These are the first 2 ladies.
I cannot see their bib #'s unfortunately.
The 1st 2 for the women:
(as I write this post - the race continues & only 2
women have finished!)
THE WINNER - bib # 2 Melissa Begin with a time of 2:54:51
2nd place - bib # 9 Nathalie Goyer with a time of 2:58:20

 POST EDIT:

The female marathoner in the above photo wearing the pink top was the WINNER!!!

Runners as far as the eye can see.

These folks were on pace for a 4:00:00 race.

More spaced out now, but still going strong!
