Re: Voyageur 50
Might be doing this race again this year. But there might be a catch. A guy I know wants to run it again this year too, but the next day is a 10 mile race that he *has* to attend. So I tossed the idea at him that we can run the 50 miler one day, drive through the night to get to Gimli for the next ...

Re: Dairy-free protein powder
Vega is nutritionally great, I however, struggle with the taste.
Hemp protein, as mentioned by eme above, is great. We also have a big tub of NitroFusion, but it has a bit too much sugar in it.

Re: Manitoba Trail Races in 2011
How hilly are the marathon and 50k routes in the May race. I am considering running one of them, but i am not sure of my hill fitness. I have not seen too many of them since moving to Winnipeg from Hamilton in August. There is about 1200' of climbing in the marathon and a bit more in the 50k. Only ...

Manitoba Trail Races in 2011
Well it's that time of year again when everyone starts thinking about what to do for the upcoming year. Not quite content to just race myself, I took on the role of race director in 2008 and now for 2011 am starting another new race. If you want to do a trail race we've got you covered from 6km to 1...

Re: vegan runners?
Been vegan for about three or four years now and have been doing ultras for five. Since going vegan I have recovered better, both from hard training and from races. I have also ran every day for almost three years, average of 5.9 miles per day.

Re: 2011 Ultra roll call
Bighorn 100 for sure, probably Voyageur 50 again, and maybe another 50 or 100 miler in the fall (October or later).
Of course, being race director for two ultras too is almost as hard as running them

Re: 100km
What is your timeline for doing 100k Holly? The 12 hour race I put on in the fall could be a good one; the loops are fast, 85% smooth and have no hills bigger than you are tall.
Other than that, I loved Blackfoot, and the 100k at Kettle Morraine is a tough, but the event is super well put on.

Re: Ultras 2010
For me it's split into two parts, racing myself and then being race director for 6 to 8 events. Racing will be: June - Kettle 100 mile - to finish some unfinished business from 2008 July - Voyageur 50 mile August - Lean Horse 100 mile October - Surf the Murph 50 mile And for race directing, the onl...

Best running garment I own. It kept me warm through all the crap we had here last winter.
No snow in Winnipeg (nor in the forecast!) yet.

Re: Rock and Ice Cancelled.
How about Arrowhead 135 as a replacement race? http://www.arrowheadultra.com -- It is at the waiting list already, but you never know. I have a friend that has done it and is geared up for 2010.

a bit late, unless you can find them locally, but the race ready shorts are perfect for hauling gels, gloves etc and you can run with double hand helds if you're concerned about the volume of fluids you're carrying.

Ian, If I recall correctly you have the same MEC Breeze jacket as I do? Although I have pretty much worn mine out, I found that when layered with a reasonably lofty tech-shirt I would be as comfortable as possible in the colder spring/fall rain days. A decent ball cap (not cotton) will help keep the...
