The Grizzly Run happens

Everyone was up early to go to the Canmore Nordic Centre. Actually I don't get a big thrill out of watching a mass start so I didn't go. 

Vanessa, Caro, Lisa and Beckett came back to the apartment after Nathan completed the first leg (and started the second)  as Beckett needed a nap, meanwhile Nathan carried on.

Nathan was running very quickly so Vanessa went back up to the Nordic Centre as she was going to run the third, fourth and fifth legs.

I spent the time at the apartment planning out more of the upcoming England trip.

After Beckett woke up we all went back up the Centre to watch Vanessa complete the third leg. She was really struggling and took longer than anticipated to come in. We cheered her as she returned to the transition area (for a break) and started the fourth leg. At this point we headed back for Beckett to have his second nap of the day.

Nathan informed us (by phone) that Vanessa's feet were giving her problems and she was going to stop after the fourth. As Beckett was still sleeping I stayed behind while Caro and Lisa returned to watch Vanessa come in.

Supper was at Boston Pizza after a couple other places first did not have room for us.
