24 October 2008 - 8 morning starters
Event Report (written by Gilles Barbeau)
Just a quick break from our busy life selling our condo and moving to a new apartment to acknowledge the performance of Karl Jensen, who is our first and only finisher of the two year running of the Seawall 100 in a very respectable time of 23:17. Karl told me that his newfound love for pavement is second to his sweetie. He also mentioned that the support of John and Wendy were instrumental in completing his 10th, yes that’s 10th 100 miler of the year. There were also some notable performances for the 50 miles distance by Tim and Lori. I don’t know why they have to run so fast though.
It was a beautiful fall day in Vancouver, the kind of day that you just want to hit the road and put the pedal to the metal…and get a speeding ticket. But that was nothing compared to the frustration of not being able to run, thanks to H1N1. Lucinda and I organized that run so that I could do a 100 miler among the so pleasant territory of my daily runs but ironically I haven’t able to run any of it so far. I would to apologize on behalf of myself and Lucinda for the late report and posting of times. It’s been a crazy time for us lately but I sure plan to show up on the starting line next year healthier and more affluent, you know with the sale of the condo and all.
