Ottawa Race Weekend: First Loser Once Again, Marathon Prep Starts Now

Had a great time with friends experiencing many facets of race weekend. I always enjoy racing along the Rideau Canal and competing alongside these folks! This job is so damn cool. 🥲
Special thanks to Stephen Andersen for giving me the special privilege to commentate the marathon the next morning as well, which fulfilled a childhood dream of mine. Really cool to get to do colour commentary on an exciting marathon.
Au revoir Ottawa 🫶🏼

[@timtrenholm3698]

I've heard nothing but great things about the Ottawa Tamarack race weekend, it's always the week after my local race weekend event, but I might just have to change things up and make the trip for 2025.
You've put in the speed work ahead of your marathon block, can't wait to see you compete in Paris for Canada!

[@dokutaaguriin]

Epic intro music!!! Keep up the hard training work for this summer's Olympics

[@LinkletterRory]

Will do! Thanks for the support 🫡

[@andypham1636]

[@global-runner]

Great video!! Looking forward to watching you crush the Olympics!

[@ryandoucette5966]

Liked and subscribed...didnt know your BYU background and started thinking about how your on that Young/Mantz level of excellence...then you confirmed it. Congrats amazing race!

[@Knycrotic]

[@danielwaldenga3804]

Great race in Ottawa. Can’t wait to watch more of your Paris Olympic preparations. Best of luck to you. Hope you have a great race day!

[@mikes5764]

Great video! Those post race beers can't do any harm for recovery, right?

[@LinkletterRory]

Recovery is 60% mental 100% of the time.

[@ElusivSasquatch]

Hey Rory, great race! Were the shoes the Nitro Elites?

[@LinkletterRory]

Yes, version 3!

[@brianway4240]

What do you think about them compared to the Fast-R?

[@wetzky]

Great video! Just curious why you all took your medals off?

[@LinkletterRory]

Good question, no particular reason though.

[@ryandoucette5966]

Thought about that too, I guessed humility

[@Justin-uc8sc]

Who edits these videos? The footage is filmed in raw with no colour grading applied

[@jpu10]

Will you be switching to the Deviate Nitro 3 for Paris? How do you like those compared to the Fast R-2?

[@LinkletterRory]

I’m trying to figure out (in training) which shoe works better on hills. I’ll lean fast-r 2 if it’s inconclusive
