Just Checked the web site and saw that Gary ran a 7:22:47 Congratulations Gary! His only goal in this race was to take top three and win the coveted entry into the 2009 western states endurance run. Job well done. can't wait to here the story. does this make him the only Canadian at western? not sure. though I bet he'll be the fastest. 

So much comes down to good day vs bad day. Here's wishing Garry Robbins the very best day at Mt Masochist next Saturday. I know it will be your day, Garry - show them some serious Canadian talent!!

Are you ready for Go Deep on November 15?

I highly recommend this fantastic, beautiful course, especially in the rain. When we ran it, Mystery Falls were BIG and Dirty Diapers was a little unkempt and wonderfully technical.

As some of you know Club Fat Ass had environmental friendliness on our schedule long before it was in the news.  It's a good thing that sustainability is now part of our vocabulary and hopefully soon part of all our actions.

I realized how much of an early adopter of environmentally friendly living I was when I was invited by my neighbor JoAN to participate in the Cool North Shore.

Kintec Footlabs has always been a leader in sports medicine, biomechanical assessment, patient treatment and patient education and we are looking to grow our team.  Basically, if you live an active lifestyle and enjoy helping people then we want you on our team.  We will teach you all you need to know about gait assessment, professional footwear fitting and professional brace fitting, all you need to bring to the table is a great attitude and a willingness to learn.

Anyone interested in joining me for a trip out to Penticton this Sunday for the Campbell Mountain X-Country Race, which is a 6.5 km trail race? We could go for a longer run after if it is too short for you. The race starts at 10:00 so it would involve leaving before 6:00 AM Sunday morning. I can drive if anyone wants to join me post a reply.

Now that the weather has turned cool, I'm finally getting a chance to wear and appreciate the long sleeved Club Fat Ass T. Comfy stylish and (so far) non-stinky. Wish I had more than one. So, I just wanted to give a big long overdue thank you to Sibylle, Vanessa, and Jess (and everyone else who helped) for all your creativity and hard work. Can't wait to see what's cooking for next year!

I'm looking to do the 25k or 50k as a one dayer, leaving from North Van early am. The 25k looks attractive to allow leaving at a reasonable time, but twist my rubber arm and I could be convinced to leave at an obscene hour and do the 50k.

Shoot me an email me at rchore@my.bcit.ca if you are looking for a ride or are interested in car pooling.

I (Jeff Hunt) will be posting the details for our JdF Trail Run here.http://trailadventurer.blogspot.com/ If you have anything to add, or any questions, just email me at jeff.hunt@smus.bc.ca Feel free to invite anyone you want for this run. The more, the merrier. Date: August 23rd, 2008.

One week to go until the 5th running of Bill's Great Peak Ascent! Perfect timing for a 30 km, right smack dab in the middle between Kneeknacker and STORMY. This is a good STORMY training run or just a good opportunity to get a 30 km (or less) training run in with friends. Afterwards, we'll be getting together at the Mosquito Creek grill for a free beer, food, and socializing. Also, this year, I've got tons of swag to give away. You gotta be at the Grill to be eligible though! Hope to see you all there!
