As we cannot do the whole course next weekend, Bill and I decided to run it today. Definitely chilly up higher (enough to make our bladder tubes start to freeze) with some solid snowcover, but nothing extraordinary. Lower trails had barely any ground snow at all, but the bushes and trees sure looked pretty!

Hello everybody!

Just a reminder of my race here in Victoria.

The 24th.Annual running of the

"Island Runner" Elk/Beaver Ultras 2011.

This race will always be flat, fast and early in the season.the first Saturday in May.

I think that the 50 Miler will get the nod this year as the National Championship race.

Any first time marathoners want to do it here around the lake?

No cars! No worries, we are still looking for a solid CR for a newbie...

Compression socks have gained a lot of popularity over the last few years. If you haven't seen them, they're the odd looking tight, long socks that come up to just below your knee.

After a very rainy night we thought we were in for a wet run! Fortunatly, the weather turned for the better and we had a gorgeous, but slightly chilly run from Grouse to Deep Cove. Nothing else extraordinary occurred, though we were a bit surprised to see that part of the trail from Hyannis to the Seymour Grind had been re-routed. 

Good company = an even better run, and the doughnut and coffee from Honey's ended off the morning nicely :-)
