Tommy ran 10k personal best 32:14 at Chelsea Challenge

October 13, 2016
Tommy raced the 10k again this year at the wonderful Chelsea Challenge race, and finished 1st place with a new personal best time of 32:14!
Thank you to everyone who worked hard to make the Chelsea Challenge a huge success again in 2016! Tommy and Peter love this beautiful road race in the wonderful community of Chelsea Quebec, where Peter grew up and where Tommy has a Des Brisay family cottage. Cousin Iain raced the 5k this year! Iain is a competitive sailor, and has had a great year in his sailing races, but hasn’t been running at all. Still, he kept up to Tommy for the first km and gave the race his all! Iain’s girlfriend McKala came too! After the race, Tommy visited with family at the cottage. We hope you enjoy this video! Thanks for watching!
