Willis Greenaway Half Marathon
Dan ran this one in the heat and smoke of Summerland in August.
STORMY
This Squamish 50-mile Ultra was probably marked most prominently by a fierce rivalry between PRRs 2 3-person teams; the veteran PRR JeTS (John, Susan, Terry) and the young upstarts, PRR BaDaSs (Barry, David and Sarah). In the end, experience won out over youth, though it also didn’t help youth to have Barry get lost at the beginning of the race.
Here are the Team Results:
Sukhi was our only solo runner this year:
Wreck Beach Bare Buns Fun Run
Look, I don’t judge. If you want to run naked on the the beach for 5 kilometers, I fully support you. I just don’t want to know where you pin your bib. Arthur and Dan returned to do this one again.
Four Lakes 10k
Jackie and Dave M. headed back to the Sunshine Coast to run another race, and this one saw Nicki temporarily re-emerge from running retirement to run the 3k option!
Five Peaks: Whistler
This isn’t the most technical of the five peaks series, but running at altitude makes it the most uncomfortable. Grant did the Enduro course (10.6 km)
Hood To Coast Relay
The mother of all relays: 197 miles from Mount Hood, Oregon all the way to the town of Seaside on the Oregon Coast. Not recommended for people who like sleep. 11 Members and 1 guest took part. Dan, Lan, Sarah, Lynne, Grant, Monika, Karen, Barry, David P, Victoria, and Ross all participated, while Paul and Dave H kindly offered their indispensible services as drivers of our 2 soon-stinky vans. It was a pretty amazing adventure that will not soon be forgotten.
Managed 11th place in our category and finished 225th Overall out of 1023 teams. Woot!
