Elk/Beaver Ultra

Sukhi was one of two pacers for PRR Hall of Famer Ellie Greenwood’s first stab at a 100k Ultra.  The Elk/Beaver 100k consists of 10 consecutive loops of the its namesake’s lake.  For those who haven’t yet heard, the result was…

• Ellie: 7:36:40 1st Female, 1st OVERALL and new Female course record holder by over an hour! Congratulations Ellie!

Vancouver Marathon and Half

Only Carol and Arthur decided to do the full marathon in 2010, a year where we might have had more volunteers than runners!  Their results were:

• Carol C: 4:02:52
• Arthur: 4:57:31
  

The Half Marathon Field was a little more stacked:

• Dan G-D: 1:35:30
• Susan: 1:36:16
• Terry: 1:38:54
• Karen: 1:41:10
• Monique: 1:53:29
• Barb: 1:57:09
• Lan: 1:59:05

Eugene Marathon

Dan headed down to Oregon to try this marathon which finishes at the track on legendary Hayward Field.  He describes his experience as so:

“Great race and a wonderful vibe around Hayward Field.  There is so much history there.  And now, I am part of it.  I had another recent personal best at 4:28:15, which was good enough for Third M65-69.  NOT good enough for Boston, but hey, it is my best raw time since October 2000 and third best raw time!  And, since I so love Age Graded times, it is now my second best graded time, ever.”

Vancouver Sun Run

The Sun Run lived up to its name this year in the sense that it was truly, uncomfortably HOT.  Especially for the Team Weetabix members who had to endure the scorching weather in an ultra-heavy-duty DARK cotton t-shirt.  Bonus points for David P for fashioning his into a stylish singlet.  Some great times for this race:

• Russell: 35:26
• Mike B: 37:06  
• Barry: 37:54 
• David P: 40:37 
• Bill C: 40:44

Tenderfoot Boogie

This was the inaugural running of what is sure to be an annual event.  This race was offered in 50 Mile, 50 km, 28 Km, and 50 Mile relay versions.  The 50 Mile route went all the way from Squamish to Whistler.  Bill and Jess did the 50k*, and Rik was one of the (scarce!) volunteers.  Here are the results:

• Bill D: 7:05:30
• Jess: 9:51:15

*GPS data revealed that the distance was actually 57 km, so even more impressive!

SOWA Half Corked Marathon

The first running of the Okanagan’s version of the Marathon du Medoc sounded like a lot of fun: just over 17k, with delicious Okanagan wines from the local wineries served at each aid station.  Thankfully, all of our runners somehow managed to make it to the finish line:

• Janet: 1:55:33
• Carol C: 1:55:35
• Len: 2:01:41
• Monique: 2:08:22
• Bill P: 2:08:23
• Victoria: 2:11:20
