Flash - Pure Foolishness 72K
What: A 72K run on the Baden Powell Trail between Deep Cove and Lynn Canyon.
Why: A few Fools in the club have signed up for the Coyote Two Moon 100 Mile race in March that has 28,000 feet of uphill and they really, really need to get in some distance and hill work.
Who: The Fools and anyone who wants to join in the fun.
Where: Meet at Panorama Park in Deep Cove, North Vancouver, BC
When: Saturday, January 19, 2008 at 06:00
Route: The Pure Foolishness 72K will consist of three loops on the Pure Satisfaction Course. You can read the foolproof directions at:
http://www.clubfatass.com/events/puresatisfaction/course
Climbing: According to some very informative GPS readings taken by Colin Freeland during the 2007 Pure Satisfaction Run each loop of the route has an elevation gain of 5,280 feet, giving a total of 15,840 feet of climbing during the three loops.
Aid: Be prepared to be self-sufficient. There should be water at Deep Cove and at the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge washrooms. Of course we will also have access to our vehicles when we return to Deep Cove at the end of each loop.
Schedule:
Here is a foolproof schedule of the times the Fools expect to be at
various locations during the run. This schedule was created by half of
one of the brightest minds in Club Fat Ass. It follows the detailed
methodology developed by the famous Dr. Wingit, PHD. After an
exhaustive five second review by a panel of his peers the method was
named the SWAG method (Scientific Wild Ass Guess).
This schedule may be useful to those of you planning to only do
portions of the run and want to join the Fools, or perhaps avoid them
altogether. Note that the Fools may not be at these locations at the
times indicated, or anywhere close to those times. If you do a custom
run email your distance and time to Karl through the private email link
shown on the event site.
Please keep in mind the event Motto.
