Look out for the gray Subaru wagon.

Do you think a queen sized air matress would fit?

nope I tried it, single for the week-end unfortunately....

Yeah I saw that..What's that about?

Like Strider said, my drop bag will include: Some goodies, socks, BodyGlide and a water bladder for a quick transition.

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 y...

I suggest those of you staying at the park have a meet-and-greet at 7:00 pm on friday at the cookhouse porch. Last year I spoke briefly to Mike about getting up in the morning, (we were sleeping in our cars), but never introduced ourselves and didn't realize we were online acquaintances. The back o...

Sooo....What's your prediction time or goal for Haliburton Ultra?

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

Love the new Forum but you need to change the .CSS the orange is not dark enough, It's too pale.

Hi everyone, Does anyone know of a Doctor/Clinic in the Downtown-ish Toronto area that is understanding of Ultra runners? My current clinic is ok, but the doctor said "Ah, you're one of those" after I told him about my mileage. So even though I'm relatively injury free right now, I'm planning ahead...

Had a blast at Camp Fortune 5Peaks, congratulations to all participants and and a special thanks to the amazing volunteers!!!

I would be surprised if my wife would enjoy that gadget...

most of the time I use my Nathan HPL (2L)

One problem I have when doing my long runs on trails is hydration, I can only carry so much

I'd love a free pair of shoe and even better a Sprotiva shirt.

sadly I don't have anything special to brag about

I have a similar training plan but it's hard to do 32k and then 45-50km runs... I've been doing just one long run on the week-end of 45-50k. Last year and in the beginning of this summer I was doing double 30's For me it's allot harder to recover from a 45-50km than doing the shorter double 30's

Hi Mike,

My daughter, Marie-Pier, is interested to be a "Water Girl" at an aid station or something similar. She is 14 yrs old

Let me know,
Eric

It's official, I registered for Campfortune

Maybe I'm wrong but I think the Gatineau Park (NCC) makes thing more complicated than it really is....They are not receptive to new events.

I would love to see an Ultra-trail in the Park

I think _Eric_ runs in the Fireblades and may have got them at MEC though I don't see them listed there now. My babble on stability trail shoes in another thread: http://www.runningmania.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=846849#846849 I went to MEC to find some Fireblades and they said that they don't stoc...

Go for it! You will have a blast and get a good training run at the same time
