Racing or training weekend ?


What a great weekend of training/racing. After making a few mistakes in the trekking stage of the Momar in Squamish, and then getting 2 flats. I knew it was going to be a long day in the hot sun. Jen segger set a super hard route and after racing for 5 plus hrs. The route was up the Chief for the sweet-ass rappel.


I was the 6Th solo male across the line, but after racing all day my CP punch card was a little destroyed. I was penalized for it. Dropping me out of the top ten. Boooooo !!! oh well it's only racing.

Big thanks for Jen , Brian , and all the Volunteers for such a great race ! And to all the first time adventure racers - you guys rocked it !( K-ho , nice work buddy.)
So, that was that. Off to the next race ! Sunday morining came around a little to quick. I was up early to help set up the Whistler Valley trail run. The first trail run in the Sea to sky trail running series.
Another great sunny day in here Whistler. As racer started to show up for sign up. I knew a few of the face, but one thing about Whistler. Is that this town brings in lots of great athlete from all over the world. So, you never know who is going to be there at the start line.
I ran well, legs did not feel sore from the Momar. I was able to run smooth and at a pretty good pace. I ended up with 7th over all, and managed to get some GC points for the Sea to sky trail running series. Which was one of my goals.
Thanks to all the Vollies out there , see you at the next race! ( 5 peaks , SFU)
