Transcript

In case you're curious what it looks like to run from downtown Toronto all the way to Mississauga, damn near the edge of Oakville, just 34 km, look no further. I got you. About 2 km in, it's probably one of the better views of the tower. Let's keep at it, man. Bang. Alright, 5 km deep, just about to pass by Ontario Place. Just passed Billy Bishop Airport. If you're ever flying through Toronto, highly recommend you fly through there. Cracked views. Just passed the 10K mark. About to hit Mimico. Probably gonna stop and grab some water in like 2 km and we're back at it. We're 12 deep. Just stopped to get some of that good, good, some electrolytes. Let's get back to it, man. Alright, we're about 17 deep. Apparently this is the new Toronto. Look at the maps. I don't know, about 21-ish. Found a quick park, stopped off, gonna crush the rest of this and back at it. Do I know where I'm at? No. Do I have 10 more to go? Yes. So we're at kilometer 29, but I see a Shoppers here, so I'm gonna stop off, grab some electrolytes, take a quick break, and then finish off these last five. Let's go. Alright, 30 kilometer mark, and I see that hill. Good thing I love hills, man. Last kilometer, jersey's off, sun is out, we're going for it. Let's go. Holy smokes. Alright, 34K wrapped up. We are in the suburbs of Mississauga, brink of Oakville. That's it, that's all. GGS. Smell ya later.
