Ran in the Whistler 5 Peaks Trail Running Series on Aug. 20. Sport course — usually I'd do the longer Enduro, but I've changed up my training from long grunts to short sprints, and I've been spending a lot more time on the mountain bike recently. The sport course was only 5km, but with over a 1,000 vertical feet of climbing. I rolled an ankle just out of the start, but still managed to finish second with a time of 33:54 to another local runner, John Teitzel, who just kills 5k and 10k courses. He finished in 31:51 — not a great 5km time on the flats, but the run took place in the high alpine of Whistler Mountain and many sections were too steep to run up or down. Beautiful scenery, if you could take your eyes off the trail long enough to take it all in.
