What a weekend, got there Friday afternoon with Steeve. Went around the place, got to talk to some very interesting people and walked a part of the trail. I started my run with my buddy Steeve, he wanted to follow my pace not to risk going out too fast, but lets say it didn't last. After 5 miles it ...

This is perfect. I was just trying to decide between 50 km or 50 miles at Seaton trails in April. Your post is perfect. - I'm not really prepared for 50 km, so better go for 50 miles - Miles is easier to pronounce then kilometer after a day of running. - 62 km = 60 $ or 80 km = 70 $ = more for my mo...

My story is both different and the same as all others. I've been in the army since 1995. You'd figure we're mostly in good shape, especially being in the infantry. But here is a reality check. I wasn't, i could run 10 km at a fast pace (60 min+) but this was because they told me so. In 2002, i chang...

It's nice to know I'm not the only one. I hope your not injured or too sore. Good luck with your next race. I did go out this morning, i guess the warmer weather these days helps with motivation. I'll keep on going forward and i don't plan on missing any training. It just felt good to get it out of ...

I know it's just complaining, but I'm having allot of difficulty going out this winter. I'm originally from Quebec, i really should be accustomed to bitter cold winters and high snow banks, to be honest, I'm not. It's the first time in my short 7 years running career that i need to push my self to g...

if not a marathon, go longer

You guys ROCK ! I'm by far a BOPer, all those pros and cons represent most of the feelings i felt this year. pro: At the finish line, all the fans treat you like like a rock star (it's all pity) Con: as a rock star, there's only 1 fan left. Can't wait for the 2010 season to start. Are we their yet ?

Vulture Bait was indeed a very nice place to hold the final official race for 2009. As usual volunteers where awesome and very cheering (even for the limping slow dude). Thanks to all for the support. I finished more then two hours later then expected but had lots of fun (even with the pain) Thanks ...

C'mon all you wiener runners! 25 K is a great distance! Vulture Bait is a wonderful course for a first trail race. Don't let the freakish ultra crowd dominate! I'm far from "freakish ultra crowd" still more on the wiener side (i like saying Beginner) but the title wiener fits really good....

Any runner who idolizes other runners performance is a hero in my book. I did the 50m, and to be honest I'm amazed at how you can go the entire 100. Especially alone. Whether you realize it or not, you are a runner's role model. Congrats on a great report but specifically a awesome race.

Sounds like allot of fun to finish off the trails season.

I had fun reading all the posts from the Official Haliburton Ultra blog, it also aloud me to get better prepared. Vulture Bait is my next, what can i expect. Allot of fun and great people I'm sure, but what does the trail look like? Let's get this page going, and all you experimented runners out the...

What a great race. Organization was great. My race was sooooo slow i think I saw a turtle walk pass me at some point. The course was weigh tougher then anticipated. Had a great time and met some cool runners. All the support team at every stations where awesome (except when the lady told me i had to...

Hitting the road tomorrow at 14h00. Can't wait to get there. Still haven't decided about my drop bag. How are the food supplies, is there enough or should i bring my own? Oh how many questions can i cover in my head before i leave in 16hrs

Thanks to a great women at the running room near the Sulphur spring ultra earlier this summer (May) i was saved. But when i was checking my stuff once at the hotel, i had forgotten my two pairs of shorts and my hydration belt. I got lucky she was there and changed to mood for me as i was extra stres...

You're all getting too serious, it's making me nervous about the race. Can you start talking about gummy bears again. It was easier on my nerves. Just can't wait to get there, have a couple of hours of driving and seems like i'm forgetting stuff already. Just being paranoid, I know. Cheers, see you ...

I am going to arrive at base camp sometime around 10pm. I am set up to sleep in my Durango, no need for a Camp Site! I assume that its OK to overnight in parking lot… please confirm. Is there any kind of a wakeup call? I will have an alarm set but I have this paranoia thing about sleeping through t...

According to the weather network, long forecast for Saturday is nice and dry with a high of 20 C. Normally good but i would of preferred wet and miserable, gives me a good excuse for being extra slow. Looks like I'll have to find an other reason for being back there. Can't wait for the start. See ya...

I'm not sure of your background but I could think of quite a few ways to obtain $1500 all of which are legal ;) Can you provide a service? Work a part time job? Sell a product? If I really wanted something I'd find a way to raise the cash and thus make it appealing to my spouse.... It might take a ...

I'm going for a 8 hours for the 50 Miller, if my legs can keep up with my ego.

I'm there to explore the trail for next year, planning on doing the 100mile. I'll go with the flow. Just a good time on the trails.

The Haliburton race is next weekend, then we'll try to hit the CISM at least once before Oct. I'll keep you informed.

The trail does look appealing. For fund raiser, i usually go for MIRA, i just couldn't imagine my self being blind, i imagine the dogs give a good help. I am still trying to figure something out, plans are coming along
