I must be suffering from a mild form of schizophrenia... the voices are telling me to do the Full Monty this year.

I am going to run the Javelina Hundred once again and doing the Full Monty will be a good build up trail run. I will be practicing my sport in Kelowna, Manning park and Victoria. You are all welcome to join me in this fun.  The Monty is scheduled for July 18th and you can find out more about this great ultra at http://www.clubfatass.com/events/FullMonty

Watching some stellar performances this past weekend has motivated me to get busy... ILTS!

Just wanted to say thanks to all the Club Fat Asser's who were either in the race or on the sidelines cheering us on.  It definitely helped push me into a personal best of 3:36:29! Now let's see if this translates to better trail race times....A report may be in the works, compared to my epic ultrarace stories, there's not much that happens in 3.5 hours.

Race report.
Hosted by Prairie Inn Harriers Running Club - Victoria, BC, Canada - May 2, 2009

The weather, although a little blustery and damp did not detract from a glorious event that virtually ran itself.
There were some stellar performances on the classic 10K lake trail.

Notably Hassan Lotfi-Pour of North Vancouver, our fastest runner at the Lake.

Anyone still in need of volunteer hours for their summer 100 miler, you're more than welcome to help out next Saturday at the 6-hour Enduro. The Enduro runs from 8am-2pm, Saturday May 9th.
