I had been wanting to run this FKT for a long time, but the right moment never seemed to come. Then, almost last minute, I managed to gather three friends to crew for me. We started at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 15. We were lucky with the weather, a little cold, but the snow from the previous days had melted just enough to leave patches of asphalt. Since I had shared my plans on social media, I found out at the start that two other runners were attempting the same route at the same time. I had hoped to finish somewhere between 7h00 and 7h15, but with my lower training volume over the past few weeks and the Bromont Ultra 100 miles at the end of October, I think this was simply the best my body had to give today, and that's more than enough. The sunshine, the laughter, the fun...it made the whole experience special. I had been a bit nervous about this route, but in the end, it was beautiful...a completely different way to see Laval.
