Live Streaming of the Royal Victoria Half Marathon
By Beth. Filed in events, Geekery, sports |Want to see me finish my half marathon in Victoria on Sunday? Well, you can do so from the comfort of your own home because it’s being live streamed via Ustream! w00t!
The race starts at 7:30 a.m. and my last two half marathon times have been in the 2 hr 23 min range, which would put me finishing at around a bit before 10 a.m. However, since I’ve been training to run a faster pace, you may just want to start watching it around 9:45 a.m., just in case I manage to pull off a personal best!
I’m embedding the video here for your viewing pleasure:
At least, this should be the live video during the race. However, if, for some reason, it doesn’t work, I won’t be around to fix it since I’ll be, you know, running 21.1 km at the time. So here’s the link to the Ustream channel and to the marathon homepage, which is also supposed to have the video.
I’ll try to remember to smile for the camera when I get to the finish line!

Hope you don’t die! Or injure your foot!
Also, I am thankful for the fact I don’t have to run this.

Okay, this is weird: people are already arriving at the finish line and it’s 8am PDT, so I assume these are 5km people?

Oh ok, 8km people.
