Hey why not a preview(men), looks like a good race:
1 Kasime Adillo Roba Ethiopia
2 Moses Macharia Kenyan
3 Danny Kassap Toronto ON Canada
5 Ryan Day Richmond BC Canada
6 Amor Dehbi Montreal QC Canada
7 Jim Finlayson Victoria BC Canada
8 Josephat Ongeri Milton ON Canada
9 Todd Howard Victoria BC Canada
10 Paul Chafe Toronto ON Canada
11 Benard Onsare Calgary AB Canada
12 Steve Mureenbeeld Victoria BC Canada
16 Graeme Wilson Vancouver BC Canada
17 Mark Bomba Coquitlam BC Canada
20 Norman Tinkham Maple Ridge BC Canada
21 Louis-Philippe Garnier Montreal QC Canada
22 Kevin O'Connor Vancouver BC Canada
23 Art Boileau Vancouver BC Canada
24 Dave Stephens Burnaby BC Canada
25 Neil Holm Courtenay BC Canada

Thats the elite list, I don't know too much about the african guys or even the guys from out east(Ontario) but in my race it looks to be Jim Finn, Bomba, Todd Howard, Paul Chafe(not sure what he's done?), Amor Dehbi looks to be someone who will be in our pack, but perhaps go out faster and come back to us, I suppose if I'm going to mention Chafe, i'll mention Murenbeeld however I suspect he wont go out with our group but who knows, I don't know what kind of shape he is in, hopefully pulls out a big one.

So anyway, I know Finn is in good 10k/half shape, and I know Bomba is in good shape(if his mechanics are ok that day! hehe that ones for you Mark), Todd Howard is tough I think he'll be in there based on his Van half in may. Going on faint recollection I think Chafe ran around 69 in Montreal but a younger guy and came out all this way so hopefully he gets in it, like I said above hopefully Steve is ready for a good one, I think he too has run around 69. Anyway it looks to be a decent race, I could see Bomba, Myself and Fin battling it out but we'll have to wait and see, i'm feeling a bit on a roll here and i've got some brand spankin new T5s to race in not to mention a little redemption to back me up, and the weather looks pretty bon so hopefully I can 'git 'er dun.'
