SET#1 - Cypress Mountain - Hollyburn Ridge

Organizer: Magnus Johansson (Event Director)

Map: Capilano Lake

The SET series is aimed at those planning to continue training through the summer months. From those people that I have spoken to there is a preference for something a bit longer; something like 60 to 90 minutes but with options to shorten the routes whenever possible.

This is all going to be extremely casual with a mixture of pure trail runs and longer distance orienteering.  We will try to avoid running on streets so event locations will probably be larger parks and North Shore trails.  There will be no control flags, just a large, obvious feature where the flag would have been.

Run singly or in groups; bring your stopwatch and race your friends or try to beat last weeks minutes per kilometer time.

May you run in sunlit forests!

Event Report

Thanks to Magnus for setting us a tough 7km course with a fair amount of bush-whacking.  The snow patches made life interesting - and especially tough when you didn't know if you were going to break through or not.

The clear weather made for some stunning views, and the evening quiet made for a bear encounter - my first for 15 months!

We had a better than expected turnout, thanks to everyone for coming.
