What a glorious day running amongst all the animals and athletes at my 3rd Oasis Toronto Zoo 10K race this morning! It was a hot one. But always the most fun! Went out way too fast in the first few KM, and it was hilly as usual. But super fun nonetheless. Ended up with a…

However, Milton was slightly longer than usual as it is a 750m swim, 30km, and 7k run. The Swim I improved a bit…
