Flash - Burnaby Lake 50K Results
Not a big crowd today, just Kirsten and Karl for the 8 AM start. Prospective new CFA members Nathan and Humphrey joined later and knocked off 30K at a pretty good pace. All in all a pretty good day. John Machray opted for an off day, but made an appearance to provide moral support. It wasn't raining, but Rain No Train Jackson was a no-show anyway.
Next up on, March 2, is the Burnaby Lake 80K.
