One fine morning
Quiet morning here in the Athlete’s Village
That’s a picture of the Canada building. I’m staying right behind the tower in townhouse #6 with 7 other track athletes. Townhouse #6 is killing it by the way, check out the results so far…
Mo Ahmed: 28:13 in the 10,000 for 18th place and he’s still in University.
Cam “MF” Levins: 27:40 for 10th place in the 10,000m and has qualified for Saturday’s 5000m final with a PB (13:18).
Geoff Harris: Breaks 1:46 for the first time and qualified for the semi-finals in the 800.
Nate Brannen: Although bad luck struck Nate when he tripped up with the gangliest 1500m runner ever he easily made the semi’s and was poised to make the final. Heartbreaking actually. But 3:39 after hitting the track and getting stabbed by a French dude’s spikes is pretty badass.
Alex Genest: Hung with the lead pack in the steeple semi’s right until the the end and narrowly missed the final. Seasonal Best (8:22).
Derek Drouin: BRONZE medal in the High Jump!
Eric and I will have to dig deep on Sunday morning to keep the momentum of townhouse #6 rolling.
Three more runs, three more sleeps…
EEK I am So excited to watch 3 awesome Canadian’s KILL the marathon course on Sunday…..
Reid, All my friends and relatives will be watching on Sunday. I will be up at 5:00 and just want to wish you all the best. Love, Nornee
Get out there and kill it!

So excited for Sunday! GOOD LUCK!
Give your everything Reid! Canada is cheering you on!!
Good luck dude. Hope you didn’t get the bug Levins got(he said he got it from someone in his group which I assume is one the bunch above).
You rock! Be proud and I hope you find some Canadian beer over there to celebrate with.
