The first training run for Frosty Mountain Trail race took place last Saturday August 14th. There were a total of 13 runners including 3 dogs. The run took place on the Baden Powell, Dream Weaver, Executioner, Mountain Highway and Pipeline Trails. The run was approximately 15 km. The runners split up into three pace groups and as usual I thought I belonged in the middle of the pack, but I think I have to reclassify myself into the end of the pack unless some slower people show up :). The day started out at a nice temperature but heated up quite a bit near the end. We survived with only one minor injury. Next training run is Saturday the 21st of August starting at the gravel parking lot on Grouse Mountain 9:00am sharp. I promise this will be a more exciting run. Looking forward to seeing more runners out on the run. Check out the few pictures I managed to take. http://picasaweb.google.ca/gottgross/FrostyTraining15810?authkey=Gv1sRgCO2A5Z7dip3abw&feat=directlink
