The drive was about 20 minutes from Canmore. I lost iPhone reception as I turned onto Barrier Lake Road. It wasn’t a big deal but I like to have service especially when I am running. I had my bear spray so I wasn’t too worried. Besides I am a ninja.
I didn’t know anyone really in the group. I met a few of the guys – Brayden, Ben and Tony – on my first run and ran into them at Grizzly and Lost Soul ultra. The organizer was Lori, a friendly lady from Calgary (obviously!).
My legs were feeling Saturday’s run straight away. I just pushed through the climbs. It was the downhill portions that I knew would put me in the back. Sure enough as soon as we hit the downhills my right leg gave up on me. Sigh. I just waddled my way through the run.
Looks like a great day out. I know what you mean about not wanting to run with people and hold them back. But looks like a great group!
Yes it was a lot of fun. 🙂
Looks like fun! I've hiked that route, and it would be a tough run, way to stick it out!!
Thanks buddy 🙂 It was a great morning with great runners!
Oh you! You can so keep up… 😉
There is a pace group for everyone, we just have to find our "like" pacers.
Anyway, great pics Crystal!
