The Squamish Scrambler race report has now been on the results page.  Sorry about the length but we definitely had a story to tell!

Club Fat Ass member and Event Host Carlos Castillos did it! He finished Haliburton Forest 100, his first 100 Miler. Congratulations, Carlos!

This weekend saw the second time in less than a month with not only one but two Club Fat Ass events to choose from and earn points in.

Summer is almost over, did you make it into the mountains?
NO,I MEAN REALLY MAKE IT INTO THE MOUNTAINS...

Ever pass through Squamish and look up at Diamond Head mountain and
say, "I'd love to climb that one day?" Well, here's an opportunity to take a run at it!

Mountain Highway Madness is a low-key interval run. Each interval is 15
kilometers. You can do one interval or shoot for bragging rights and a
place in the records book by being the first to do five. Run against the
record book, your personal best time from the past or make it a group
training run with friends. It's held Sunday morning in the woods above
North Vancouver on a wide, dirt and gravel road that you can't get lost on.

This weekend saw a Club Fat Ass first with 2 events hosted at the same day and two Club members participating in both events. The Monty went off without a glitch in beautiful Gowland Tod Provincial Park near Victoria on Vancouver Island, Canada. Doug Bodnar and Geoff Palmer took on the challenging 25km Half Monty, hopped on the ferry back to the mainland and arrived in time - well, Doug almost made it in time ;-) for the Midsummer Night version of the 7th Capilano Canyon Night Run. They definitely qualified for the "Gluttons for Punishment" category.

How is that for quick. The Monty 2005 results are up at: http://www.clubfatass.com/events/FullMonty/Results
