Now that the 2007 racing season is winding down, it’s time to start planning how to make 2008 a year of personal bests!

The Nifty50 is a triathlon:

1. Run. A 50 minute interval session on a wide gravel trail next to a rushing river. Warm-up jog from the Griffin Gym up Mosquito Creek to the yellow bridge. Set your watch, then run or walk up to the bridge at Mount Royal Boulevard and back as many times as you want. (It usually takes me about 12 minutes round trip and I'm a lame old dog.) Jog back to the gym.

What: A run on the traditional Vancouver New Year's Day Fat Ass 50 course

What:

TriBC is inviting you to their annual Silent Auction and Cocktail Party.

The event is a fundraiser for the Mary Leliveld and Marc Duncan endowed funds.

Word on the street is that the ski hills above Vancouver will be closing this coming Sunday (13 April.) This is a crime, because these same mountains (Cypress, Grouse and Seymour) are currently enjoying over 5 meters of snow base. Use it or lose it.

What: A 160 km aka 100 miler on the Baden Powell Trail between Deep Cove and St Andrews Rd (the road crossing before the hydro substation at Millstream/Craigmohr).

Join the "Fools" (Karl Jensen, Chad Hyson, Gilles Barbeau and John Machray), friend of the Fools Lucinda Iglesias, STORMY 100-mile Run RD Wendy Montgomery, folks from Kintec Footlabs, Club Fat Ass, a few friends and curious for an evening of tales from the fringe of ultrarunning: the 100-miler.

The Fools claim to be absolutely normal, yet they run 100-milers... apparently on a whim. Isn't that an oxymoron? How do they do it? Why do they do it? Could you run 100-miles, too? Why might you want to?

There will be entertaining stories about long distance trail running, some more foolish than others, that will have you itching to lace up your trail shoes. Even if you rather have a root canal than run 100 miles, you'll appreciate the humour and insights into what makes these "fools" keep on going (and going, and going....) You'll also hear why running a 100-miler is the easy part when you learn what it takes to "crew" a 100-mile runner.

What: A 68K or 42M training run on the STORMY course starting and ending at Powerhouse Aid Station.

Given the current snow conditions on the local mountains (considerably more than during our first Adventure), I know that more than a couple of us are interested in knowing what lays in store for this year.

This session is free and you do not need to be a member of Club Fat Ass to attend. Pre- registration is required.

This is a continuation of Baldy's Bonkfest. We're going back to finish the run. Hey, some people rest a bit longer between loops! Thanks to Baldwin for letting me use his text. There's room to car pool if anyone's interested.

The fools are at it again. While they are not all here in Squaw, the few that are have decided to commemorate the WS 100 miler cancellation by logging a few kilomters in this scenic area.

Where / Route: from Squaw Valley at the official WS start line to Tahoe City via the bike path and back

Distance: Approx 25 k return

WHAT? A run in and around the Capilano Canyon followed by a descent of the Capilano River from Cleveland Dam to the Pacific.

WHEN? Tuesday 1 July 2008 (Canada Day) - 10:00 am

Looks like everyone has a very busy summer so we will try again for this event in the fall hopefully.

Happy trails!
