We had planned to go to this race. In fact, we had a whole extended weekend in NB planned that centered around visiting my mom, who lives outside Saint John, helping her with some work in the house & yard, shopping with my daughter and had Alex & I leaving early Sunday morning to go to Grande-Digue so Alex could run. My husband would leave later in the day with some furniture in the back of his truck and either meet up with us in Grande-Digue or see us back at home. My daughter would have her choice of who she wanted to return to the Island with.

Then came the weather forecast - rain Friday night, showers Saturday and Sunday. We weren’t concerned with Friday and Saturday so much but the idea of bringing furniture home in the back of an open truck on a three and a half hour drive (minimum) in the rain..... was enough to postpone our visit and cancel our plans.

Alex was not impressed.

Of course it didn’t really shower on Sunday. It drizzled a bit in the morning here and, I’ve heard, it did the same in NB. We could have, should have, gone.

By all accounts the race was a windy, but good time. Next year Sylvio..... next year....

Congratulations Stan on your fabulous finish and to all Islanders for representin’ on the mainland. Sylvio, I hope we see you back on the Island to run in the coming months.
