Sweet Go Deep Results - 2011
12 November 2011 - 32 starters (25 pictured above)
Event Report:
The 8th annual Sweet Go Deep is complete and what a day it was. 27 starters assembled at Deep Cove for the 8:30 am start, plus 5 more started earlier or later for the largest turnout in this event's history. And to think it could have been 33 if only we had convinced an eager Sue that we were the "Lemmings", but alas the real Lemmings hollered from the far side of the parking so she escaped while she could. Turns out, Fat Asses and Lemmings both spurn hibernation through the colder months.
At 8:30 under a dry sky we were off! As we climbed the Baden Powell above Deep Cove, rain drops started slipping through the forest canopy. Up Old Buck the rain became sleet. At the apex near Vancouver picnic area it was snowing.
After climbing, the descent refreshed and at Mushroom Parking lot we got to choose our own adventure; roughly half leaped left for the cruising 14km Go Sweet course, while the rest ran right to Mystery Falls, Dirty Diapers, and Ned's for the extended challenge of the 20km course. By now, the steady rain and riverlike trails were an extra challenge for all.
The course record withstood a spirited challenge from Ran Katzman and Mike Palichuk who tore around the long course in 2hrs 12 min, a mere six minutes off the best ever. The dynamic duo were so fast they finished their tasty refreshment at Honey Doughnuts before the rest of us could say Indian Arm Road. Patricia Jensen led the 14km Go Sweet runners in 1hr 51 min. 12 runners stuck around for the extended recap at Honey D's, swapped war stories (James Clarke tweaked an ankle on Ned's, Lysanne travelled all the way from Victoria and identified some poisonous mushrooms, Baldwin started a little late but ended up the muddiest), and everyone went home with some sort of goodie - from Trail Runner subs to gourmet chocolate and beer, there was even a shirt and a toque!
