Scorched Sole Ultra

Race Reports

Thank you both very much for the Great Event! What a wonderful day. It must have been a lot of work and months of preparation. As always, I thanked each and every one of the volunteers. They were great.
I found the 25K distance just right. But that’s just me. I have deep respect for those that turned around and did it again. It was bloody hot yesterday. I bumped into Howard  this morning at the grocery store and he said that he felt the heat as well.
A bit of a drag for you guys about the clock dying. I didn't hear any grumbling from the runner's. That’s life. Barring that minor bump, the day was flawless.|
This might be premature, but the way I feel now, I'll do it again next year. A lot will depend on the timing with the Goat's Run to Naramata. In all likelihood, The Goat's Run will be on June 28 next year. I am already thinking of tweaks that I can do to improve my time, one of which is not to drink two large martinis the night before.
I put my name on a large shirt before the race, and then left without it. If I could still buy a large, that would be great. No worries if that’s not possible.
A heartfelt thanks to you both. A resounding success.

We had fun on Saturday and you guys did a great job and worked tirelessly, until sat. evening it looks like on the results. You all are stars!
Thanks :)...David and Alison Urness

Hi guys ~
You are probably both exhausted, but…how did the rest of the day go????  I was sorry we couldn’t stay to see the runners come in, and the 50K group turn around for the 2^nd half!  My boys had a lot of fun, and I was SO proud of them running the whole 5K.  I have attached a picture.  You guys are GREAT!!!!!  Next year we hope to be more involved, because hopefully Tim will be in town. 
Hate to bother you with post-run details, but if you could let me know where I can pick up the banners to return to Miriam tomorrow, that would be great.  I will go wherever it is easiest to pick them up, and you can just leave them at a location where I can find them if you are not around.
THANK YOU both, for making a difference for the future of diabetes…your efforts are AMAZING!!!!!
‘Hope to talk with you both sometime soon, and to see some of the photos on the web-site!

***Someone inadvertently took one of our folding chairs from the finish area on Saturday.  The chair is a brand new canoe,
black with arms and both arms have drink holders.  We sure would like to get it back!!

Hi Dan -
I'm glad things worked out well with your race being part of the Series this year, I think it is a fabulous addition. I really enjoy the course and the atmosphere you guys generate for the event, it is such an honest, fun environment. I heard you did a lot of work preparing backgrounds on the athletes, so I was sorry to hear of the generator/PA problems and find that all your efforts at digging up the details on everyone were missed! That was a real shame, I know you put a lot of work into that.
Many thanks to you, Shirlee, Tammy, Trent and the many others who put in so much time and energy creating such a fun race. You really have a good thing up there!
cheers,
Bruce
