Gorilla Run Route, Calgary Zoo

I am running in the Gorilla Run on Sunday. Ok tell me if I am crazy, but does this portion of the race route look a little confusing?

Looks like a LOT of fun!!! I have been to the zoo and know that this portion of the race is quite hilly at times too! The rest of the route leaves the zoo and heads on over to the city pathway system along the river.

Should be a fun Race, hopefully I’ll see Joanne, Dave, Ally, Kelly, Paul, Ron and whoever else is there! Hopefully the weather holds out and I’ll get to go barefoot again! It doesn’t look good tho, as Saturday night has an overnight temp of –1c/ 30f. yikes. Hello Vff’s!

um.... I'm moving to canada so I can be eligible! Is there a rule about how long you have to live in Canada before entering your giveaway? ;)

A: “Yes, there is a rule.”

Yeah, your MOM won? THAT doesn't smell like a fix. This so-called "Andrew" who's pulling the names looks kinda shady to me. I know I've seen his face before ... Didn't he do time in Sing-Sing for some Ponzi scheme fraud? Or maybe I saw his picture on this very blog before.
In either case, it doesn't inspire confidence in his honesty. I mean he's a known associate of Kanadians! And here in America, where the Constitution guarantees you the right to freedom of association, we DO NOT hesitate to judge people based on who they associate with. Because currently, we interpret "free association" to mean word association: i.e., "bread" ... Butter! ... "up" ... Down! "Kanadian" ... Shady!

A: “The boy is actually American too”

    1. Hey, these are my VFF's!
      Zoo leg looks like fun as long as they keep all the cheetahs locked in.

      See you Sunday

    3. Yep, it looks confusing but there may be method in the madness. You probably get to see more animals this way.

      *SIGH* How often do I have to say this? BOTH of those propositions can be true. And ARE.

    9. That race sounds cool (but, yes, first leg seems a little confusing)...maybe you can follow Joanne's breadcrumbs along with Kelly :)
