Meyrick Jones Racing: 5 Peaks @ Buntzen Lake

"wise guys" quote:

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

- Theodore Roosevelt, speech titled "Citizen in a Republic" delivered at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

Everything you need is already inside.

5 Peaks @ Buntzen Lake

Quick post: Mattias and I are lacing up the trail runners this weekend to take on the 5 Peaks Race out at Buntzen Lake near Port Moody.

5 Peaks races are super fun - I did a few of them last year and always had a blast. The courses out at Buntzen Lake are BEAUTIFUL so we are pumped!

If you feel like joining us we'd love to see you out there!!!

The race on Saturday includes:

Children's Race - Bring your kids!

Sport Course (11km)

Enduro Course (15km)

1/2 Marathon Course

Notably it also includes a Children's Adventure Zone for Mattias to enjoy after his race i.e. babysitting.

This is HUGE because it allows Mattias and I to head out without dragging someone else along to watch him while I run. It sounds like the Adventure Zone will be pretty awesome for him too.

BRAVO 5 Peaks!
