A very memorable first ultra in my home province of PEI and my first last place finish. When the legs felt heavy after 2 miles I knew I was in for a long day! A lot of up and down and twists and turns over uneven ground through the woods. The course was 2 loops, and I didn't stop too long at the mid-way point as temptation was high to pack it in early |

WOW! this course lived up to its billing as the "Highest Road Marathon in America", the elevation ranged from a "low" of 8400ft to a high of 9600 ft. The route was along a gravel/dirt forestry road in the Gravelly Range mountains outside of Ennis, MT. Would love to do it again, but it will not be the 2nd day of a double, which included a 6 hour drive between locations. |

Great Memorial Event for 4 RCMP officers killed in the line of duty. Ran part of the way today with 2 fellow Islanders who have made Alberta home. What a difference a week makes in terms of weather, beautiful day today, even hot by the end. Had a real rough patch between 20 and 30 km, but came out of it and was able to push to get home in under 4 hours |

WOW! Tons of mud and water! 3 degrees and raining from start to finish with some snow mixed in for good measure. 100km runners started a couple hours earlier so the trail was good and ripped up by the time we started. They had to pull 10 runners with mild hypothermia, I probably was as well, but was able to finish. A beautiful place to run, just not today! |

One of my most memorable, first marathon in a war zone, one of the pre-race instructions was a reminder on what to do in case of a rocket attack!
Took on this one with little base training, but I figured it was probably my one and only chance to run one in Afghanistan and it was the first time they have a held a full marathon on base here. Got caught with my head down trudging along and narrowly missed a nasty interaction with some loose razor wire that was hanging from the fence. Struggled with stomach problems the first half, recovered in the 2nd running a negative split, The American troops did a great job putting it all together |

Not exactly a "Walk In The Park"! but, by times a run, a hike, and near the end a crawl, 3 Laps with a combined 8500ft of elevation gain provided some beautiful views over Kamloops, as the RD warned on the website "the trail is rarely flat". IT Band kicked in about 33km making the final lap a real trudge |

Spent Friday morning doing our annual "Battle Fitness Test" (BFT), a necessary evil that comes with the job. Figured I would miss out on this marathon anyway as I was supposed to work on Saturday, but late Friday was told to come in for Sunday instead. So, up at 2:30 AM Sat morning for the 4 hr drive to Bragg Creek, 3000 ft elevation trail run up the mountain and then back down, a PW , but a beautiful course, nice sweatshirt and the biggest medal I have ever seen at the finish. All things considered very happy with the results and the decison to "run the moose". |

Started in wave # 4, saw lots of maniacs out there, ran a 9 minute negative split, probably could have ran a 4 hour if pushed harder in 1st half but still a little tired from Friday and the drive to SF from Salt Lake, very nice course including the run over GG Bridge, spent a couple days exploring the city afterwards |

Nice to get back to user friendly road marathons after last Saturday's "adventure", fast first few miles downhill, but the quads paid for it late in the race. 3 days prior- 25km round-trip hike to the botton of the Grand Canyon with 9000ft of elevation change, Amazing Scenery! |

WOW, as someone said "they don't call it the Rocky Mountains for nothing"! over 5000 ft up single track and back again, discovered this was a course for experienced trail runners, covered in dirt, blood, sweat, and snot after this one! fell at least 10 times, cut hand wide open while trying to break one fall. walked half of the 2nd half in an effort to stay upright, Will forever remember this race as "Face Plants Aplenty"! still it raised money for a great cause and RD and his wife very helpful. Funny that I am listed in the results as being in the 50 plus age group because I certainly felt I had aged 20 years by the time I finished! |

the name says it all, Vertical Challenge indeed! ,thought (hoped) the RD was joking at the start when she said there were ropes along a couple of trail sections to help us up the inclines, she wasn't! (60% uphill course), enjoyed it, but a very different beast then the average road marathon |
