It's been an interesting couple of weeks!
Emily and I did most of the Knee Knacker route (primarily Baden Powell trails from Horseshoe Bay to Deep Cove!) and what a beast it was! We began at Cypress Bowl in order to cut off what would likely be the snowiest part, and yet we still dealt with so. much. snow! The first 10K or so took us just over 2 hours to accomplish, with scrapes, cold hands, and a few funny-after-the-event falls through some soft snow - some waist deep! We added on a bit in the middle to make up for the distance cut at the beginning, shifting from snow to actual trail (which was a nice change!) and ended up arriving in the Cove at 4:23pm after beginning at 9am!! Treated ourselves t a Honey's Doughnut as soon as we arrived (Fresh batch too!) which we enjoyed while soaking our legs in the water at Panorama Park! The evening afterwards was a little interesting for both of us, but it was good to get another run like that in before the big event.
Which shouldnt have any snow by then! (or not nearly as much as what we had to deal with!)
In the meantime we have been training with shorter (by comparison) runs, and setting up a FUNDRAISER BARBEQUE!!
