It's all in the training

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Swimming now part of our training for Medway

• Minus 5 degrees
• A frozen creek
• A dozen trail runners ready to cross via rocks and tree limbs
• One runner wants to show how to run across the ice
• He now finds out that ice can be slippery
• His feet fly up & lands on his back and breaks the ice
• That sinking feeling
• He is OK but soaked
• PRICELESS
  

This never happens on our trail runs!

Come out and run with us on trails, where it's safe.

Saturdays 8:00 am @ Medway Trails

Wednesday's at 6:00 pm @ Komoka Trails (headlamp required)

SHOCKING

The overall winner of the 2009 Soiled Sport Trail Series is Carl Keevil, as announced at the Pacer Awards Brunch on November 15th

First female is Barb Newall.

Go to the Pacer Brunch or the cat get's it!!

You forced me into this.

The cat get's it, if you do not reserve your seat at the Pacer brunch on Sunday.

UWO Invitational X-Country

UWO hosted this annual event at Thames Valley Golf Course, and had a stellar turn out of athletes.

Pictured here is Guelph Gryphons, Lindsay Carson who set a course record in the womans 5K that has stood since 1987, at 17:01.6

This event is free and open to all, and I am amazed at how few show up.

The course switchs back and forth allowing the spectator to see a number of different views along the route.

The mens 10K was won by a Windsor Lancer, Dave Watson, in 32:10.9. (funny I only have a picture of the womans race winner)

The same day had the Fanshawe College Invitational out at Fanshawe, so I unfortunatly was unable to fit both in.

Next year I think our trail run will be at Thames Valey on the x-country course.... or maybe I should not embarass myself this way. Anyhow next year we all should attend to cheer the 'Stangs' on.

You crack me up!

So there I was pondering life's mystery's, when it dawned on me.... you lazy bastards have not signed up for the Vulture Bait yet!!

We are looking for volunteers for the races as well.

So, your uncle may just be getting out of prison for a weekend and you have no room in your double wide at the trailer park.... or maybe you would like to get grandma some fresh air while you do the 50K race, we can use them.

http://www.vulturebaitrace.com/ and you will be whisked away to the fantastic world of Vulture Bait.

Note to American entries: NO PASSPORT REQUIRED to enter Canada.
(but you will need one to get back in to your own country. Hey they are your governments rules not ours)


Each month leading up to the race, one lucky entry will win a Vulture Bait running jacket.
(I don't understand why Jennifer Anne wants to measure the male winners inseam though)

Last but not least, Trail Runner Magazine, August issue, page 12 says it all.
