Whitfield can still run

Simon Whitfield blistered the run course at the 2006 HSBC National Championships and won his sixth Canadian national title despite trailing by more than one minute heading into the final 10km run.

Whitfield stole the spotlight and left the 3,000 spectators at Professor's Lake in awe with his incredible run split of 30:17. Whitfield easily outdistanced Hamilton native, Colin Jenkins, by 25 seconds and finished with a time of 1:51:11.
