Hats Off to Festival of Excellence

Wow! And that's not a word I use very often, and usually only when I see something totally inappropriate.

However, this time this use is to sum up my astonishment and amazement of last nights International track meet in Toronto. Other words that come to mind: bananas, ridiculous and are, you, kidding, me?

Yes yesterday was a hit on all levels. The depth of field, the enthusiasm and turn out of a crowd that weathered rain and wind. Wonderful volunteers that showed how world class this city is. And for an inaugural event the organization seemed like a well oiled machine. To race on home soil for the first time in my professional career, felt so right and long overdue. 

I'm kinda sad it over.

Well done T.O and thanks to everyone that had a hand in making it happen! I have been all over the world as a pro and last night affirmed, there ain't no place like home.

Same time, same place next year?

I sure do hope so, because I've already saved the date!

Super proud,
Perdita
