Thanks to all who participated in this years inaugural
Ann’s Get Your Fat Ass Off The Couch.
The day was met with grey skies and rainy conditions but 30 diehards
showed up for a great run. I’m sure many considered staying
in their nice cozy beds….but how guilty would we have felt?!
The course was very slippery, muddy and wet. There was one extremely
large deep puddle that added the adventure element….I was
wondering whether we had rounded Lizard Lake early!
The 10km runaway winner was Greg Barreca in a smoking 59 minutes. The
20 km distance was made a little longer to make it a true 20 km. Ron
Katzman and Chris Benn came in at 1 hour 55 minutes with Des Mott
following close behind.
Gottfried greeted us at the top of homestead with some delicious baking
and homemade wine…what a pleasant surprise. The rear of the
field was brought in by Pat Barry, Sibylle Tinsel, Cheryl Johnson and
Rhonda Schuler, who missed Gottfried's superb aidstation.
The wind up brunch was held at Mosquito Creek and draw prizes were won
by Heather, Sophia, Berg, Karl and Lorraine. Gottfried came through
again with the donation of his homemade wine and Trail Runner magazine
donated 2 subscriptions for a year.
Thanks again to all who participated in making this a fun and
successful run…it is hard to follow in Wendy’s
shoes. I look forward to seeing everyone on the trails

Missed the Aidstation
There seems to be some confusion as to the route around Lizzie Lake. If you headed up left to the ridge before seeing a swampy lake you didn't go far enough. To get to Lizzie Lake keep going straight at the yellow 8 sign and at the next left turn. You will then come to a fork in the trail and if you take the left trail (it's a very small trail and you can easily think that you are wrong) you'll contour Lizzie Lake clockwise before heading up to the ridge.
