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
