I am happy to announce that we have a winner in the Travelling Colours Contest.
The photo of Eric on a summer peak bagging expedition rose to the top of Flickr's "interestingness scale" and will take the prize, a gift pack from DistanceRunWear. The picture was taken by Reagan White, an active participants in the Bagger Challenge, our scheduled events and various contests.
1. Complete (my first) 2 Ultras (maybe the Kneeknacker route plus one additional one)
I completed the Knee Knacker and Frosty Mountain (both were awesome races, but I think I liked Frosty even slightly better, due to the low key feel and the fact that I had never run any of the course) 10/10
2. Complete 6 CFA events plus 6 flash events (days of peak bagging would count as a flash event since it serves a club related purpose)
Time toevaluate how I did on my goals for 2012. I feel even less than a runner and more like a cyclist now, but since I signed up for the 2013 Berlin Marathon, I better find the runner in me again....
Not a bad year from the personal athletic goal achievement perspective. Could have done better with a new set of knees and lot fewer work hours every week, but I figure I earn a cookie for doing not bad at all with what I had to work with, especially because my list of goals was as long as my arm:
Late July is a perfect time for a run in the mountains on Vancouver's north shore. The weather is generally excellent, the snow is generally gone and the trails are generally mud-free. The only challenge is picking a trail and running it!
I am happy to announce that we have a winner in the Travelling Colours Contest.
