North Face Endurance Challenge - Bellingham - June 6
50 miles and lots of elevation. For Jess and Bill this run is just a drop in the mileage bucket. All part of the training plan for the 125km Death Race in August. If you ask me the hardest part is the 5:00am start - then it gets worse from there!
Bill: 10:43:34
Jess: 13:16 apparently if you’re stung by a bee en route you forget about the pain in the rest of your body. Ask Jess for more details.
Scorched Sole - Kelowna - June 6
Stephen, Matt, and Sukhi ran this event on the restored Myra Canyon Trestles in Kelowna. Hopefully the cooler weather made it into the interior in time. The event has 25km, 50km and 50 mile distances. All 3 PRRers were in the 50km.
Matt and Stephen tied although if I were Matt I’d claim lifelong superiority due to the fact that he is listed ahead of Stephen in the results. 5:32:22. Matt was first in his division. Stephen was second in his but not because of the alphabet - they’re in different divisions. (PS - where have you guys been lately?)
Sukhi came in at 5:37:33 (geez Sukhi, you can’t let those young guys beat you like that!)
Sandcastle City 10km - White Rock - June 7
Arthur ran this one in 54:03 with Dan hot on his heels at 56:14. This race is part of the Timex and Lower Mainland Running Series - and I believe both Dan and Arthur are racking up the participant points.
