2013 - Year 11 - Get Your Fat Ass Off the Couch - Results

Starter Photo- 19 Starters - 20 October 2013

Event Report: After volunteering all day Saturday for the Whistler 50 I was glad I didn’t succumb to temptations from my fellow volunteers to stay the night in Whistler and party. After all I had the responsibility to make sure my “Get your fat ass off the couch” run will be taken care of. So I did drag my ass out of bed instead in just enough time to grab a coffee at the “Bean” get everybody checked in and off we went. With the great weather we are having how could anyone not be happy.

Hardly anyone got lost and I promise to improve the course description for next year.

All in all a great day to make new friends and visit with some of the old ones. Thanks everyone for showing up, and thanks to the Bean for treating us with coffee.

2012 - Year 10 - Ann's Get Your Fat Ass Off the Couch - Results

Starter Photo- 30 Starters - 20 October 2012

What good timing to switch this event from Berkley Street to Bean Around the World in Parkgate Mall. It was certainly a little more pleasant to wait out the hail and downpour in the comfort inside the Bean.

Not long after we finally got started the weather improved slowly. A little slush, rain, sleet, snow, rivers on the trail and finally glorious sunshine did not seem to deter anyone from having a good time. Aside one minor injury from a wipe-out by Ann no major incidents did occur. It seems everyone liked the new course, especially the Salamander trail.

Thanks everyone for coming out and testing the new course, and remember:

If you like it tell your friends, if you don't tell me.

2011 - Year 9 - Ann's Get Your Fat Ass Off the Couch - Results

Starter Photo - 15 October 2011 - 12 Starters

Report: Thanks to all who participated in this years Ann's Get Your Fat Ass Off the Couch. It was a spectacular day...the sun was shining and the trails were at their best. A small group ran this year...lots of familiar faces and a couple of new ones that I really enjoyed meeting and running with. Great to see Wendy [the original event host] out there smoking up the course....too fast for me...we'll have to catch up another time! The beautiful fall colors were just beginning to show in some areas...spectacular... and there was one trail connection that had been blocked off that will have to be changed next year. Other than that the run was uneventful and to those that didn't make it...you missed a good one!! See you all next year

2010 - Year 8 - Ann's Get Your Fat Ass Off the Couch - Results

Starter Photo - 16 October 2010: 35 Starters

Report: It was a spectacular fall day for Ann's Get Your Fat Ass Off the Couch annual run. An amazing large group and 2 eager dogs showed up and enjoyed a wonderful day in the trails. After last year's deluge all enjoyed the beautiful fall colors and bright sunshine. It was a little crisp to begin the run and everyone took off briskly up Berkley. The first loop was greeted by Sibylle who unfortunately wasn't able to run due to an injury. The massive puddle was non existent and the course was fast. Ryan lead the pack with an awesome time.
A good crowd showed up for beers and lunch at mosquito creek pub and some benefitted from the generous draw prizes...thanks to trail runner magazine and Gottfried. I look forward to seeing everyone next year.

2009 - Year 7 - Ann's Get Your Fat Ass Off the Couch - Results

Starter Photo17 October 2009: 16 Starters - 16 finishers

Report: Thanks to all who endured another balmy monsoon at Ann's Get Your Fat Ass off the Couch.

Seventeen hardass runners....and Benny the ultradog....."gleefully" started the run soon to be renamed Pineapple Express! Gottfried greeted our runners at the top of Homestead with some tasty snacks...Thank you Gottfried!!

Ran and Pano smoked the 20km course in 1 hr 52 mins and Chris LaRose, a newcomer to ClubFat Ass...and trail running burned up the 10km in 58 mins....I'm so impressed he found his way having never been in those trails before!

No casualties, no one lost, and best of all no one drowned in the numerous lakes/ puddles...a successful day all in all.

Congrats to Lorie Alexander for continuing on to run a 50 miler....at least it cleared in the afternoon.

Thank you to all who participated and all who came for the post race beer. Thank you also to Kintec Footlabs and Trailrunner Magazine for providing the great prizes - which all who showed up for beers benefitted from.

Hope to see everyone out there next year!

2008 - Year 6 - Ann's Get Your Fat Ass Off the Couch - Results

18 October 2008 - 28 Starters

Report - Well another amazing day was had by all for the anual get you fat ass off the couch run. The torrential rain from the previous day was long gone and the morning was greeted by gorgeous sunshine. The trails were amazing with all the shades of red, orange and yellow and the streaks of sunshine peeking through the trees. A fairly large group of very keen trail runners gathered. Bill Des,Pano, chris, Ran and darbyKai set off with a strong steady climb up Berkeley and quickly disappeared in the trails. It was also great to see all the new runners out for this fat ass event....hope to see you all in future fat ass events. As I ran down the powerlines and made my right hand turn part way down I was greeted by THE PUDDLE/lake! I thought it might be a good idea to change that part of the course next year but everyone voted unanimously to leave it as is for the adventure aspect!...OK....the puddle remains but Karl may modify the bushes next year. All in all it was a great day with all my favorite trail buddies. Hope to see you all next year...spread the word!!

Ann

2007 - Year 5 - Ann's Get Your Fat Ass Off the Couch - Results

Thanks to all who participated in this years inaugural Ann’s Get Your Fat Ass Off The Couch.

The day was met with grey skies and rainy conditions but 30 diehards showed up for a great run. I’m sure many considered staying in their nice cozy beds….but how guilty would we have felt?!

The course was very slippery, muddy and wet. There was one extremely large deep puddle that added the adventure element….I was wondering whether we had rounded Lizard Lake early!

The 10km runaway winner was Greg Barreca in a smoking 59 minutes. The 20 km distance was made a little longer to make it a true 20 km. Ron Katzman and Chris Benn came in at 1 hour 55 minutes with Des Mott following close behind.

Gottfried greeted us at the top of homestead with some delicious baking and homemade wine…what a pleasant surprise. The rear of the field was brought in by Pat Barry, Sibylle Tinsel, Cheryl Johnson and Rhonda Schuler, who missed Gottfried's superb aidstation.

The wind up brunch was held at Mosquito Creek and draw prizes were won by Heather, Sophia, Berg, Karl and Lorraine. Gottfried came through again with the donation of his homemade wine and Trail Runner magazine donated 2 subscriptions for a year.

Thanks again to all who participated in making this a fun and successful run…it is hard to follow in Wendy’s shoes. I look forward to seeing everyone on the trails

2006 - Year 4 - Ann's Get Your Fat Ass Off the Couch - Results

Wendy's Get Your Fat Ass Off The Couch Run - 2006

Starter Photo - left half

Starter Photo - right half (Thanks to Mick for his rather unorthodox way to capture our group ;-)

Check out photos of the day on the Club Fat Ass Flickr Page.

At the 4th annual event we were greeted with fantastic weather, a great participant turnout, and an excellent aid station run by the one and only Mick McGuire.

Congratulations to Gary, Ted, and Patricia for their recording breaking 20km run times.

One bonus point went to Berglind for volunteering, without delay, for future CFA duties and one to Desmond for picking up garbage albeit it was a doggie poop bag. Eventhough, he did insist it was empty, we can never be certain. Mike Wakefield received two bonus points, one for picking up garbage and the other for presenting me, the Event Host, with a bouquet of maple leaves. Yes, this EH can be bought.

There was a great turnout at the Raven for our post race party. Amongst the draw prizes were two Trail Runner Magazine subscriptions, a variety of Kinesys products, great swag from North Shore Athletics, and three passes to Body World 3 – The Anatomical Exhibition of Real Human Bodies.

This is my last year as the host of this event and I am very pleased to introduce Ann Taylor who will take over for next year. Currently, I am working on my next CFA project which will be an epic adventure in Squamish. For those of you who know me well there will be no technical trails, no hiding in bushes and lots of uphill running.

Thanks to all who participated and, of course, to our sponsors. See you all again next year!

2005 - Year 3 - Ann's Get Your Fat Ass Off the Couch - Results

15 October 2005 - Starter Photo

19 Starters
19 Finishers

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's "Wendy's Get Your Fat Ass Off the Couch".

I am sure that a few people were having second thoughts about running the event as they listened to the downpour throughout the night. Luckily, we were rewarded with a great day that was warm and got progressively sunnier as time passed.

Thank you to the group that waited for me as I lifted myself out of the mud. We may have broken the course record if we had not had to stop. We missed it by one minute.

It was great to see a number of new faces and to have such a big group get together for the post race event.

The award for the best run of the day has to go to Sibylle Tinsel for her 26 minute PB over last year. Check out Sibylle's blog about the run.

Getting My Behind Off The Couch

Listening to the torrential rains the night before Wendy's Get Your Fat Ass Off The Couch Run was not encouraging. I was trying to get excited about running for 3 hours soaking wet, cold and miserable. In principle, I like running in the rain, feeling the rain drops on my face, jumping through the puddles and getting all nice and warm in the shower afterward. But this particular morning, I felt tired and not up to dealing with the additional challenge of the elements.

Alas, I was signed-up and I knew Pat would be in front of my house to car pool to the start at 7:45. The sky looked promising when we headed east on the highway to meet the other runners at the Ron Andrews Rec Centre and by the time we got out of the car to greet Wendy, it had stopped raining. The temperature were in the mid-teens. It felt like warm air was pushing the rain clouds away. Most runners at the start line sported way too much clothes for the dry skies and rising temperatures. As soon as we were heading up the road on Berkely to the trailhead, I pulled off my rain gear. Short sleeves and tights were just fine for me.

There were 19 Club Fat Ass members looping up and down the trails on lower Seymour Mountain. I broke my pattern of being the involuntary sweep and joined the group around Craig Moore, Gilles Barbereau, Caroline Lepard, Ryan Reilly and Karl Jensen. Figuring I could always fall back to my usual group should the pace catch-up to me, I played guide, preventing the "fast" guys from taking short cuts ;-) This was my 3rd time running Wendy's course and I didn't need to consult the directions, which made us save a few minutes.

Our chitter chatter kept us running at a good pace - for me anyway. Thankfully, the guys like to walk the uphills...giving me a breather. Conversation hopped from bold mushroom hunters (did you know that there are old mushroom hunter, bold mushroom hunters, but not very many bold,old mushroom hunters), to the Double (now Vancouver 100), to the Western States 100 Endurance Run (Gilles is eyeing this one and was getting loads of advise and info from both Karl, a seasoned 100 mile runner, and Craig, of "Double" fame) and back to The Double. Did I hear anybody say The Triple? Club Fat Ass, Trail Running, Nature

The trails were beautifull. Sunlight illuminating squeeky clean, bight yellow maple leafs among the evergreen rain forest.

By the time I had rescued the guys from a serious shortcut up the powerline my legs were tired and I had trouble hanging on. A beautifully winding trail following up a ridgeline and then down to huge mud puddles revived me. Unfortunately, the rest of the gang smelled the barn as well and as soon as we hit the pavement Karl and I were rather unceremoniusly left in the dust. So much for playing guide...

In the end my time was 26 minutes faster than last year. I am quite sore and happy today. Thanks, gang!

2004 - Year 2 - Ann's Get Your Fat Ass Off the Couch - Results

2004 Finisher Party

Geoff Palmer, has done it again!

The transplanted Winnipeger who set a distance record in this years running of Mountain Highway Madness did it again at "Wendy's Get Your Fat Ass Off the Couch" by running the longest distance of the day and finishing in 4:10. This Manitoba flatlander has dominated our local mountains in a true test of endurance. Congratulations!

With the fear that we would be running in the rain, it turned out to be a fairly dry Saturday morning when 17 brave souls congregated at the Ron Andrews Rec Centre for the 2nd running of this Club Fat Ass event.

The short course was led and a course record set by Kyle McCoy from Georgia , USA and local Scott Riddel, finishing in a time of 1:47. They were followed close behind by Chris Benn and fourth place finisher Desmond Mott. The first women across the finish line were Melissa Pace and Catherine Harrison in a time of 2:10.

At this time, I only know of two participants that were briefly lost, Mike Palethorpe and Kathy Nomura. Fortunately, they met up with Sibylle who pointed them in the right direction.

With a bit more tweaking of the course descriptions and the addition of a third distance, I hope next year's race will be an even bigger success... but don't count on the big ticket draw prizes for a third year in a row. ☺

Thank you to everyone who participated in my event and don't forget to sign up for the two November events on the BC Club Fat Ass calendar: Nov 20 "Go Deep or Go Home 80/20" and "Mike and Melissa's Fun Run" on November 27. I hope to see everyone there!
