I set out from home around 11am on the morning of Sunday, April 16th, taking the subway east to the starting point at Kennedy station. The weather was sunny and clear with very little wind and a temperature of around 20C. I was carrying with me a Patagonia Slope Runner vest with 2x500mL HydraPak bottles, a 2L Platypus water bottle, a change of shirt, some honey stinger dummies, keys, AirPods, an iPhone 12 mini for taking photos, an Apple Watch Series 8 for tracking the run with NRC which I exported to Strava using RunGap. After finishing at Kipling station I got on the subway to get home.
Overall, I felt very comfortable the whole run though I did get some sunburn along the way.
Notes: In my excitement to start I forgot to take a photo of the entrance to Kennedy station so I paused on Transway Crescent to take a photo of the station from a distance. The GPS file reflects this and also the fact that I started at the station entrance where the other runners who have done this route started. I also forgot completely to take a photo of the last station, Kipling. The GPS file shows the run ending there at the defined route endpoint. Hopefully this effort is still accepted as the FKT! :)
