First-time marathoners win Canadian titles
Caroline Pomerleau of Canada poses with a Canadian flag after winning the Canadian Women's category of the Toronto Waterfront Marathon on Oct. 15 in Toronto.Caroline Pomerleau put her hand over her mouth and was wide-eyed being told what she accomplished in her marathon debut.
Pomerleau crossed the finish line in two hours 34 minutes 44 seconds to finish 10th overall on a windy fall morning. Ethiopia’s Buze Diriba was the overall winner at 2:23:11. “It’s better for me, not skiing, because I can full-time train as a runner,” said Comeau, who competed for Canada in cross-country skiing at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. “I knew if I was doing under 2:35, I would be happy.”
“Just tried to stay engaged and tried to get to the finish line, it’s the Canadian championship, I can’t just drop out,” she said.
