Report:

We couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather for the second year of the Back to Back STORMY training run.  We had a great group of participants show up from as far away as Ottawa, Bellingham and Victoria.  Some were training for the STORMY 50 or 100, some for other events like the Mont Blanc 100 and pacing at Badwater, and some showed up just to enjoy running the great trails Squamish has to offer.  (I was there just to see if I could still run after five weeks of a femur injury).  Most did the prescribed course, which totaled 68 km for the weekend.  A couple added extra mileage:  Ward ran back to the start after the first km or two to retrieve his new Garmin from on top of his car, and Thierry (an alternate for the recent 100k world championships) ran at least an extra 5k by running back and forth between the two groups of runners.  Participants spotted one bear cub and I came across one large black bear.  But alas, no cougar sighting (I’ve seen lots of bears on the trails, but no big cats).  However there was one animal attack:  Imre’s dog got a little too excited, jumped up on him, and drew blood!  Thanks for coming out everyone.  And thank you Imre for stashing water along the course and guiding the "chase pack".  And thanks also to our sponsors (Trail Runner, Kinesys, Kintec) who provided the prizes to hand out after the event.
