14 November 2009 - 15 Starter
What can you say about a wonderful run with a great bunch of people on a day made for running. It was sweet! Sweet Go Deep is a great, great course. To make it even better 15 of my favourite Fat Assses came out to the start, including two new members. Welcome Heather and Scott!
The weather was cool with traces of snow in the air on the higher trails. The trails were nearly empty - maybe that's why no one claimed garbage points - and higher up a layer of crusty snow and ice made for an additional challenge. The sight of a big snowplough zooming down Seymour Mountain Road sure was a surprise. And didn't you like those rickety boardwalks before Mystery Falls and all the muddy puddles. A welcome distraction were the Phantom runners on the Powerline trail and a few Fat Asses volunteering to keep them on track.
Everyone said they had a good run. Desmond, hope you feel 100% soon and please can you send us your time. Thanks Sybille and Jonathan for helping the new kids stay on course.
Coffee, hot soup and burgers sure hit the spot at the pub. Prizes were given out and Scott and Rhonda won a TR subscription, Laddie and Ryan goodies from Kintec (everybody got something). Thanks to Mosquito Creek Bar and Grill who always treat us so well. And most of all big, big thanks to Sibylle - you make it great fun to to host a FA event!!
