CFA Event Reports and Results

Only four people showed up for the 6 AM start of the Big Fat Ass 100K last Sunday at Brockton Oval in Vancouver’s beautiful Stanley Park.  Perhaps the torrential rains of the previous few days made people decide that staying in bed was a much more sensible way to start the day.  The four starters, Ellie, Baldwin, Gilles and Karl set out&nbs

Well we had six keeners show up for the 10:05 ferry to Bowen ... which we almost missed due to blatant disregard for a coned-off section of the walkway. In the end it turned out to be good training for the Midnight Madness run ;)

Anyway, the rains held off for the most part and we looped the lake, with Chris setting a brisk pace while Desmond, Bill, Susan, John and Mark drafted behind. We were back at Snug Cove in just under 50 minutes, feeling like it was a bit more than 7km, given the pace we were keeping.

 Hey Whale Shark,

 

I was thinking about you today.  I was thinking it's time to draw the line.  Time to take a stand...

Are you still up to being publicly humiliated again this year?

Thanks everybody for coming out and making this 4th running of the Pure Satisfaction a great success.  21 runners toed the start line ready to brave the elements. In the end the rain and wind fore casted didn't materialize, the snow had almost completely disappeared and the blow downs were manageable.

Thank you to Berglind for weathering the cold and handing out Craig's Zone Bar's at the turnaround.  

Thanks to North Shore Athletics, TrailRunner, Kinesys and Body World 3 everybody who showed up at the Lazy Cafe got away with a draw prize.
