Coach Pimm’s 1991 Women’s XC Team inducted in to U of T Hall of Fame

7/28/2017

[from the desk of Coach Pimm]
               
In 1991, the University of Toronto Women’s Cross Country team I was coaching,  pulled off a major upset, winning the Canadian University Championship.

​Most upset was the heavily favoured University of Victoria team especially given that Victoria was hosting the championships.
​

Making the outcome seem more unlikely was the fact that the ladies  had “only” finished 2nd at the Ontario Championships a couple of weeks earlier.

It was a very good day since on the same day, my men’s team, decisively won their national championship. But that was expected. 

In recognition of the Women’s accomplishment, the team was   inducted in to the University of Toronto Sports Hall of Fame on Thursday June 8, 2017. Also inducted as an individual was the team’s outstanding runner, Alison Evanoff. The announcement is here . 
​

And here’s the team... liking my Tom Selleck moustache.

Toronto Island flooding delays race route certifications

7/28/2017

As is well known, this Spring and Summer, Mother Nature has presented more than a challenge to the Toronto  Islands. Just ask the carp that have been enjoyably swimming about on premises normally reserved for picnickers.

Ted: Hey Frank - are those Carps? Frank: Yep
The situation has resulted in the delay of a couple of Island Run events  from getting their routes certified. 

Coach Pimm has been commissioned to measure the Divas Half Marathon as well as the Longboat Toronto Island Run's 5 and 10 km. routes. However, the Divas event, which was originally scheduled for June 11, had to change venues, moving their event to The Donlands (NB- the route was not certified, but the  organizers indicated on their website, they will hold their event  on  the Toronto Island in 2018 - and it will on a certified route).


As for the Longboat event, which isn't until September 10, they'reencouraged by the recent re-opening of most of the Island. So their fingers are crossed...
