And The Lucky Winner Is...

I am happy to announce that this year's winner of the early bird registration draw (as determined by a draw by my children) is Paul Cubbon of North Vancouver.  Paul is a long time member of Club Fat Ass. He conceived and organized the Stormy Trail Race in Squamish before moving back to the big smoke and handing the Stormy reigns to Wendy.

Come to Galbraith!!

Daniel mentioned to me that he was thinking about cancelling his event this year because he hadn't heard that anyone was thinking about coming. What???!!! So I informed him that we were most definitely looking forward to doing the event, and that I even specifically switched my work days so I could come. So, for any of you who have never run this event, I highly reccommend it.

M & M Fun Run - 2008 Results

Congratulations to all that came out for a wonderful day of camaraderie and running!  I'd like to thank Melissa and her daughter Justine for being our two 'un-official' aid stations; one at the Vancouver picnic area after the first climb and one at the LSCR.  They had chips, brownies and M & M's for those that wanted to stop long enough to partake.

36 starters today plyed the treacherous trails of the North shore, some on route some not!  The 'official' route is ~27km with 3,200 ft (975m) of elevation gained and lost.  The weather was wet most of the time with temperatures around 5-7 deg C and puddles-o-plenty on the trail.  We encountered 2 hiking entourages with 20+ members that made zigging and zagging through moving obstacles all the more challenging!

Trail race in France

Howdy All.

Wasn't sure if anyone had heard of this race or not, so I thought I'd post some info.

On April 12th, 2009, my Sister, some friends and I will be running in the Trail Des Citadelles race in Southern France. This is a 71km trail race in the Pyranees Mountains and boasts an elevation gain of approximately 11,000 ft.

Foolish Gerbil 6 Hour Run

Running in circles is not necessarily my kind of thing, but when the motley Fools posted the Flash Foolish Gerbil 6 Hour run, proposing a 10km loop 6h run in Pacific Spirit Park, it fit nicely into my plans to run a longish stretch on the Vancouver New Year's Day 50 course.  Others seemed to think along the same line, as pre-event saw a flurry of online activity: Rick posted a map, old timer
