Today as part of my training for the Scourched Sole 50Mi, I took in a local Half M and made a movie.

Actually there is a lot of Fat Ass stuff in it.

We saw a new gal today from Vancouver win the 1st.Place femail, didn't catch her name...she was very swift today.

I'm still banging away at my super simple training programn for any distance from 5K-180K.

Have a great season, and see you at the Monty.

Camping anybody?

I must be suffering from a mild form of schizophrenia... the voices are telling me to do the Full Monty this year.

I am going to run the Javelina Hundred once again and doing the Full Monty will be a good build up trail run. I will be practicing my sport in Kelowna, Manning park and Victoria. You are all welcome to join me in this fun.  The Monty is scheduled for July 18th and you can find out more about this great ultra at http://www.clubfatass.com/events/FullMonty

Watching some stellar performances this past weekend has motivated me to get busy... ILTS!

  22nd ANNUAL ISLAND RUNNER ELK/BEAVER ULTRAS
Race report.
Hosted by Prairie Inn Harriers Running Club - Victoria, BC, Canada - May 2, 2009

The weather, although a little blustery and damp did not detract from a glorious event that virtually ran itself.
There were some stellar performances on the classic 10K lake trail.

Notably Hassan Lotfi-Pour of North Vancouver, our fastest runner at the Lake.

We made it back safely from the Mainland after a glorious day of running.
The race was won by Gary Robbins in an incredible time of 4:13:xx
He was so far ahead of us all that it was as if he was in another race from the rest of us.

Dear all,

I understand that some of you mainlander are holding back on your possible entry to the E/B, till after the Diez Vista.

I am hoping that we all get through that uninjured.

I will bring 4 entry forms that I can process on my return to Victoria on Sunday.(cheques or cash will work.)

Otherwise do it on line.That option will close at the end of this month.

Hope to see you all soon.

Carlitos.

  After my visit with our sponsor Phill Nichols at "Island Runner",the plan will be for package pickup from 16:30-18:30 at Fairfield Plaza followed by drinks and food at the "Ross Bay Pub", for any of the out-of-towners that night want an early supper before they go back to their Hotel for an early night.

I will be sending this off to all participants soon so you can proof read this for me...

Elk Beaver letter to all participants.

In an effort to make this year's Elk Beaver Ultras run even more smoothly than in the past and to offer runners the best experience possible, please note the following guidelines:

Just a reminder, online registration will close at Midnight on April 30th.
Does anyone know of a family member, clinic runner, or friend who runs but is still a little intimidated by 26.2 miles of road?
Here is their big chance to get the distance done.
First Timer Marathoner will also be receiving the Addidas jackets, as will all the Ultramarathoners.(The first 50 entrants.)
Volunteers will be generously compensated for their help with all kinds of swag.
I am trying to arrange for a generator for the clock and coffee urn.
