underground, where the anthills smell of bark

Yesterday morning I participated in the second annual classique sousterrain de Montréal, a 5KM race through the underground of the city.

It was fun to do as we got to run in places that normally we shouldn't be running. It was tougher than a regular 5KM as there were lots of going down staircases and going up them too. It was also on the expensive side, in terms of races; it cost me about 67$ to enter. For this reason I may not do it again.

I finished in 28:06 which placed me 77th out of 676 participants.

If I was to do this again, as part of my training I would run a certain distance, then do some stairs, then run some more, than do more stairs, and repeat. That would be a better training regimen.
