Ready or Not it's 2015!




What an amazingly awesome 2014 I had.  Travelling, racing and celebrating were in abundance throughout the year and especially in July 2014.

 2015 is here whether we are ready or not.  What is on the slate for 2015 races?

 Peninsula Runners Trail Series (4 races Jan/Feb/Mar)  January - March 2015
Kajaks Ice Breaker 8km  February 1, 2015
Pacific Road Runners First Half Marathon  February 15, 2015
Ironman 70.3 St.George UTAH  May 2, 2015
Challenge ROTH !!!!!!!!  July 12, 2015
Challenge Penticton August 30, 2015

 I was fortunate enough to be selected as one of five Canadians to be on the Challenge North America Team.  There are a total of 65 team members from Canada, USA and Mexico.  Pretty excited about this!

 Started the year off right with #1 in the Peninsula Runners Trail Series in South Surrey.  Feeling good about how the race went.  Hilly course with moderately technical sections and an open field.  You can check out the data on Strava. 

 Next up is #2 Peninsula Runners Trail Series January 18th.  Join me!

 Happy Training!

April Fools 1/2 Marathon Plus 15km cool down

After my minor breakdown at work on Friday, I set off on Saturday for Sechelt.  I have run the April Fool's Half Marathon two times and this was my third time.  It never fails to be hilly and hard.   Sunday morning I started off at in Gibsons ready to run to Mission Point Park.  I took it very conservatively knowing that I would be adding another 15kms on at the end of the 'race'.   I crossed the finish line, collected my medal, filled my water bottles, ate a  piece of bagel and a bite of banana and kept running west.   I do not recommend running your longest run before a marathon in Sechelt if you are not used to hills.  That place is full of 12-15% grades both up and down. At the end of the day, I ran from 9:17am - 2pm with a few quick breaks to refill bottles, eat gels and take few rocks out of my shoes.   After a shower and some real food, I was back on the ferry to North Vancouver.  Reward:  White Spot Legendary Burger combo with cheese and a Coke.

Who is the April Fool for Running this Far?

With only two more long long runs before my marathon taper, I set out on a 34km adventure around Vancouver.  I had great company and I felt pretty good.  The hills in Vancouver won but I think it will be good training for next week's longest run and ultimately the marathon.
