1 May 2010 Starter Photo - 10 Starters, 10 Finishers
The sun started to shine just after we finished! But..... the rain held off at the beginning, so we all enjoyed cruising around the Buntzen Lake area.
A new member, John Pickles, came out for his first CFA event, and I must have done alright, as he says he'll be back :-)
Doug and Bill tackled the new "long" course I developed, and my estimate was thankfully correct at 27km. A good challenge they said, especially since this was Doug's longest trail run ever. He shortened it a bit, but still...Congrats Doug! He also won a Trail Runner subscription at the post-event coffee locale so that should keep him going. Thanks Trail Runner mag and other sponsors for prizes.
Dave M., Jackie, and myself ran the 14km Lakeview together (I warned them there were hills!), with Ronald and Dave B. adding some all-to-familiar modifications to this (one shorter, one longer). Des managed to remain on course along with John, as did Imelda, and Derek who did the 9.5km jaunt.
Anyway, everyone remained in one piece and I was happy to hear that those who did Lakeview enjoyed seeing a new trail, and getting to avoid part of the somewhat mundane west side of the lake. It's a really beautiful trail, though you don't see the lake that much! (as Dave M. pointed out).
Reagan White wasn't out today, so I think Des is back in the point series lead as he is the refer-ee of today's new member John :-)
Hope to see more folks out next year!
Cheers from your event host, Jess Dagg

You "say" you warned us about the hills...
But doing so as we are halfway up the first somehow doesn't count!
Thanks Jess! It was a fantastic event and loved the Lakeview trail. Can't wait to do it again next year.
