Fantastic day out with the Sunshine Coast trail running community! 

This was a VK event, which is a brutal all out push that sees you gain 1,000m in just 5.7km of distance. There’s nowhere to hide…it’s pure effort and you’re on your limits for an hour or more.

Jeanelle and Marzelle have just got this one going, and it was a small event with 31 participants from the Coast, Vancouver, and Squamish. A good crowd of young and talented runners (<35yrs), and then the older set…which I have to start accepting is me! 

I did find myself being paced by the 2nd place female, but she must have been half my age and I got dropped 70% into the climb! I then had some navigational issues that saw me lose 2 places. In the end I finished 14th overall in a time of 1hr 14 minutes, and it seemed like 2nd among the oldies. // 

Haven’t been big on organised stuff through my cycling days, but this small community has me hooked and ready to travel and compete and connect with as many runners as possible. 

Thank you so much to everyone for welcoming me 😊 Great work from the guys, and awesome performance by the ladies 🎉

N.B. Rushing out of the door at the end of the working week…forgot to bring watch charger up to the Coast… watch died with 20m left to run. Hopefully I can recover some HR data in time.
