STORMY

Jackson STORMY 06
STORMY (Squamish Test Of Running Mettle, Yeh!) is one of my favorite runs.  It's one of a handfull of runs that I try to do every year... and the only one of those that I've participated in every year it has been held.

As usual, the weather was perfect.  The refinements in the course kept me on my toes, but I didn't get lost.  As if by devine retribution, one of the places I got lost a few years ago (named "Jackson's Dilemma" by then race director Paul Cubbon) was added into the official course this year.

With dogged determination and dedicated discipline, the whale shark is splashing his way towards transmogrification into the most feared animal in the oceans .. the Great White Shark.

End of a Long, Dry Spell

This past 8 July, I ran an ultra.   Well, whoop-de-do, you might say.   But this was not just any ultra.  It was the 14th time I run the Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run.  It was certainly the slowest I've ever run the Knee Knacker and maybe the slowest I've ever run an ultra. So what's to crow about?
