Get Off The Road

What a morning on the trails, mud, rain, more mud, more rain, hail and snow! But for 465 crazies these were perfect trail running conditions! I have to admit, when I saw you all coming in soaked, covered with mud and totally exhausted, I was more than jealous (and freezing, thanks for the jacket Dave, I think that you may have prevented hypothermia).
I have not seen race conditions like today’s since I ran (ran the trails not the event) my first trail race (lost my trail racing virginity) race with 5 Peaks at Cypress Mountain in 2006. The conditions then were also crazy, and before I even crossed the finish line, I knew that I was hooked! From the smiles that I saw today at the finish line, I think that there are a few more trail runners today than there were yesterday.
Looking foward to seeing you at SFU on June 12/10.
Sleep well.
