What a week of racing. Truly.<\/p>\n
Canada did pretty, pretty well this week. But more than that, it was a groundbreaking event: the first world championships ever held in Africa. Athletes arrived with some trepidation \u2014 about food, water, or safety. All of those doubts were well proven wrong. Fans and outsiders alike were impressed by the logistics, great roads, and organization.<\/p>\n
Spectators \u2014 who were numerous, drumming, and singing \u2014 never stepped on the course. Very different than what we\u2019ve seen in Europe as of late.<\/p>\n
The course was brutal. In a good way.<\/p>\n
Altitude was a huge factor in all of the races. Definitely more so with the longer races, as in the elite men\u2019s and women\u2019s events.<\/p>\n
Canada had\u2026 well a great showing. Yes, there was a big win, but there were a bunch of awesome results worth mentioning. Honestly, as every Canadian who made their way to Rwanda, they are worth mentioning.<\/p>\n
What a week!<\/p>\n
