I've heard that the saddest day in a boy's life is when he realizes that he is faster than his father.... unfortunately I'm going to have to wait a few more months to know that feeling.

It doesn’t seem like all that long ago I got my first technical t-shirt. I can’t recall which race it was, but I do remember being as happy as pie to get something other than a cotton t-shirt as an enduring souvenir of the event.

Has anyone ever thought of running or creating a 100 mile trail race from Whistler (or area) to Squamish?

What would this course be? Trails, route, places for aid etc?

I'm not thinking about being an RD for this, but I am thinking about running if a course existed (next summer). I was thinking something like Comfortably Numb (25km), some Lost Lake trails (??) connecting to the Cheakamus 50 course if possible (50-60km) and then Stormy course (67km) which is close to 160. Does this make sense and could this all be connected?

For the past year, I've had a bad foot. After months of X-rays, bone scans, diagnoses from doctors, physiotherapists, podiatrists and a few quacks, I learned I had Plantar Fasciitis.

With our new website come some great interactive features. Thanks to those of you who experimented with the new site, posted comments, stories, images, forum topics and updated their own event website. It is exciting to see the site grow in content and popularity with your input.

A few of you have asked if the Club Fat Ass site has blogging capabilities.

As my first ever blog, I am going to do a race report of the Silvertip 50 km trail run. As a backgrounder, the Silvertip 50 km is the last race of the BC Montrail ultrarunning series. The start/end point of the run is in Sunshine Valley close to Hope.

Congratulations to Geoff Palmer, great season you are having! Any chance of a race report G? 1st. place  Geoffry Palmer  4:43:26
