Trailwhisperer – Your Epic Journey Starts Here Wrapping things up, congratulations to all the runners of the eight edition of Tenderfoot Boogie.
Results are on the web site. www.trailwhisperer.ca
5 AM start for the 50 milers at the Squamish adventure Center as usual cool temperature and just getting light out there, no headlights were needed. I am sure this was not the case for the 3 AM start for the pre sweep.
Then the 7 AM start for the 50 k runners in Paradise valley still cool enough to get shivers if you are standing around.
Off through the Cheakamus Canyon and up towards the Highway that is where it started warming up.
9 AM 28 km start warming up. (not just the runners, but also the air)
The 13 km runners were lucky to start near a nice cool creek.
That was the big story about the race, the heat that came on so suddenly no one could prepare for it.
Possible the reason for the unusually number of DNF
Never the less Karine Travailaud managed to break a record standing since 2014 with a fantastic time of 5:33:27
Just to top it all off she was also 1st overall in the 50 km category Congratulation Karine
First male was close behind her with a respectable time of 5:33 :47
The 50 milers 1st overall Al Petro at 8:47:22, 1st female Sarah Cuff in 13:18:17
28 km distance Mime Sidic clocked in at 2:42:13 also a new course record and Rachel Slykhuis 4:07:40
In the 13 km category Alyssa Vanderploeg finished in 2:09:06
Congratulation to all and everyone of you, and I hope you enjoyed the BBQ at the finish line.
