My Heart is in the Highlands
It’s the first week in June and that can only mean one thing – hundreds of runners across the province are struggling to come down from the Cabot Trail Relay High. The glow of the fresh highland air was all the sweeter for FC members Dave Nevitt and yours truly, however, as our team, The Eastern Z Descendents, retained its position as First Place Mixed Team with a time that was a full minutes faster than last year. All this without our ringer, Rami Bardeesy, who defected to the champions Dennis Farrell’s Grey Hair, and with more women on the team than we have ever had! We women, by the way, put on one of our strongest showings yet, with Denise Robson, Suzanne Ferrier, and Leah Jabbour finishing as first woman in their legs, Brigitte L’Heureux and yours truly each coming in second, and Victoria Jollimore finishing as third woman on MacKenzie mountain. (Which is the weaker sex again…..?)
With two victories under our belt, efforts will surely be made to de-throne us in the coming year. With another year’s training under our belts, however, we should be even stronger. Bring it on, we say!
