Stairclimb for Clean Air 2008

I think it's going to be a great year for me because I already achieved my goal for this 3rd race of the year at the "Climb the Wall" for Clean Air by BC Lung Association. It was tiring and hard to breathe in the stairway with such poor air quality. As I mentioned previously, I was featured in a news release for Tri-city news. I am so happy to be part of this event because I can tell people now how hard it is to go up 48 storeys (738 steps). I felt like my lungs were burning making it hard to breathe and I was coughing quite a bit after the race. I found this race really hard even though it was over and done with in less than 8 mins. That is the problem with going in full throttle and killing myself in that 8 mins!! Alright, here is the result from the Raceheadquarters website. I achieved my goal of sub-8mins with a time of 7:48mins at 99th/340 overall and 17th/190 for females. As for Ray, he was speedy with a time of 5:15mins at 4th/340 overall and 4th/150 for males. Yay...way to go!! I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped me raise money for this race.
