2010 - Squamish B2B

Saturday, 19 June -  Starter Photo

Sunday - 20 June - Starter Photo 

Report: There was much activity at Brennan Rec Centre in Squamish on Saturday:  The Test of Metal bike race, the BC Highland Gathering, and of course the Back-to-Back training runs for the Stormy trail ultra.  Seven of us ran the Saturday route, which included the first 45% of the Stormy course.  Some were training for Stormy.  Tom and Duncan were also getting ready for Transrockies this summer.  Jason Eads took his training seriously enough to fly out from St Louis, Missouri and train on the course.  Timing this morning was perfect as we ran down Perth drive just in time to watch the first few hundred of the 1000 bike racers go by.  Another highlight was hearing all the bagpipers of the Highland Gathering practice as we finished the run.

Sunday we picked up where we left off and did the rest of the Stormy course except for Nine Mile Hill.  Imre and Wendy Montgomery (Stormy race director) came out and made sure that everyone ran with someone who knew how to navigate the many trails that make up the course.  A big thanks to both of you!  And thanks to everyone else who came out for either or both days.

Thanks a million, Tim!

Tim,

Thanks for hosting the event AND for not running too hard so I could keep up! I'm really glad I was able to see most of the course this month. Also, pretty glad I DIDN'T get to see 9-mile hill  ;-)

My work for the 100 is definitely cut out for me. It's going to be a big challenge, to say the very least.

Enjoyed spending the time with you and all the other Fat Asses on the trails this weekend.

Hope to see you in August!
Jason

My Pleasure

 It was fun Jason.  The pace was just right for me.  I have no doubt that you'll do well in the Stormy 100Mi.  And I want to see you finish Stormy with a kick like you displayed this morning at the end of our run!

Will do my best!

If Jackson is just in front of me, I may try to give it a go on the sprint for the finish. Otherwise, I doubt I'll try so hard!
