This past week-end Ms.J and I, went to Squamish to take part in a training camp over two days. This kind of back-to-back session is know as a "Brick". A group of "fatassers" had planned to run. The first part one day , and the second part the next. This would be on a 50 mile course of an up coming race , the "Stormy 50 mile and 100 mile Ultra marathon".

So I did it again, Brad Holmes of Namaimo won it in 6:00:00 I was second in 6:18:00, faster than last year for me by 18 minutes. I'm happy with that, but sad that there were so few of us out there... The conditions of the road and the weather were ideal this year. The organizers should get their act together and add the words

Jeff Hunt and Rob Wall ran the trail in 11 hours. We now have a first day PR. This note was posted on the PIH Chatline bt Jeff. "We made it. It took a little longer than expected - exactly 11 hours. The beaches were totally non-runnable, and we got lost once. Overall difficulty is definitely harder than the JdF, but slightly easier than the WCT. No injuries. All is good.

PS, Did anyone get a picture of the sponsors banners? Just a thought...

Great run by all the CFA troupe, I remixed the movie so that it plays smoother. Appologies for the heavy breathing and "body" noises.. Hahahahaha!

Short notice I know but one of my buddies is planning to do "IT" (Juan De Fuca Marine Trail) again this Saturday.  He has a plan but we are all tied up with the DV this W/E.

Easter W/E, and I'm still kind of injured! The Diez Vistas 50K is three weeks away and I am sticking to my ten hours a week training.
