Run Report for 11 December 2004
The second installment of the Club Fat Ass Pure Satisfaction run is now complete. There were many firsts on this crisp and calm day, not the least of which was a record turnout of 25 runners and 1 happy dog. And first let me say that this is no ordinary running group. We all chose to get out of our nice warm beds on a chilly December 12th Sunday and brave the rough, hard trails of the Baden Powell for an 8:30 am start. The sky was clear, the temperature low and the car windshields were covered in heavy frost this morning.
We got started in good time right after the run briefing and group photo. My first order of business of course was to remind everyone how important it is that they take care of themselves. I knew there would be lots of ice on the route along with slippery roots and rocks and sure enough there was. And since we had seen way too much rain the few days prior (up until Friday night), there was also lots of water and mud. Sounds like a typical late autumn North Shore running day to me.
We had several firsts today: Bill Dagg came first with a monster performance. I saw Bill on the return trip at the power lines just before Lillooet Road and knew he was having a good day as he was well ahead of the rest of the pack. We also had 19 first timers to the event with both veterans and newbies to the BP Trail. I’m sure that Ellie, Bob, Chris, Desmond, Ann and Gottfried were all chasing one another for the whole run as they finished very close together.
One of our more notable firsts for the run were the three “under 20 year olds�? that showed up for some fresh air and credits to their Kinesiology class at UBC. Nineteen year olds Mike, Mark and Nicola all did an abbreviated route up to the area past Seymour Road and around Old Buck then returned to Deep Cove. The best comment I heard from them was, “I like trail running, it’s not boring!�? You’re absolutely right. Welcome to the club guys and hope to see you out again sometime.
Another first was that we had six returning runners. Bill, Kathy, Keith, Cheryl, Sibylle, and Patricia were not daunted by the dark and dreary weather from last year’s run. In fact, they all improved on their times quite significantly.
Many thanks from each of us go to Ethelyn for hanging in there at the Lynn
Canyon Café as our major volunteer. She handed out ZonePerfect bars and Hammer Gels. Her smiling face was a welcome site especially since aid stations are a luxury for Club Fat Ass runs. Of course, we also had Ean and his clan of youngsters running around Lynn Canyon to cheer us on and welcome a few of the short distance runners to their finish.
I know that everyone had a great day and I’m thankful there are no reported
injuries nor lost souls. Lots of us even found our way without difficulty to Honey’s after for yummy treats and hot coffee.
Keep up the running and join us on Dec. 11, 2005, for the next heart pounding adventure called Pure Satisfaction.
