Grizzly 50 km Ultra Marathon 2012

Posted on October 7, 2012October 14, 2012 by Robert

Well, I did it! Finished my first 50 km ultra marathon, and placed 4th overall. It was a fun race, although I got pretty baked by the end of it. This was the first year for the Grizzly 50 km Ultra Marathon, and you can either do it as a 5-person relay, or solo. There […]

Edmonton Marathon 2012

Posted on August 20, 2012August 20, 2012 by Robert

Well, Edmonton Marathon 2012 turned out to not be the day I had hoped it would be. In several ways. The gist of it is that I did not finish, but let’s step back a bit first. I am getting a reputation for making it to the start line in the last minute. Today was […]

Sinister 7 2012

Posted on July 8, 2012July 22, 2012 by Robert

Team Redline Overlords wins Sinister 7 2012! I have now run the Sinister 7 Relay three times, and this year was a hot one! Also for the third time, we managed to win the relay. This time, our team had a runner get lost… but that’s how it goes sometimes. This race had changed a little […]

Canada Day 15K Edmonton 2012

Posted on July 1, 2012July 3, 2012 by Robert

The Canada Day 15K in Edmonton is one of my favourite races. Last year, I somehow managed to win the race. This year, I was in “in the running” so to speak, until that last ugly hill. Weather-wise, it was perfect. Tiny bit of headwind in the beginning, which meant tail wind at the end. […]

K-100 Relay 2012

Posted on June 26, 2012June 26, 2012 by Robert

I get to run leg 5 every time at the K-100. You know, I take that as a compliment, even though it’s a wicked hard run. It has a difficulty rating of 10 out 10. If the team trusts an old guy like me to run the most demanding stage of the race, I must […]

Devil’s 5K Donovan Bailey Invitational

Posted on June 16, 2012June 29, 2012 by Robert

My 8 year-old daughter and I went to see the Donovan Bailey Invitational track meet in Edmonton on June 16. Some of my friends were there, so they offered to look after the girl while I checked if they needed another runner for the Devil’s 5,000 meter race. Turns out I was in, just like […]

4 x 1600 is a great workout

Posted on June 13, 2012 by Robert

I did my third 4 x 1600 of the season tonight. It was warm, 21 degrees, and minimal wind. I really like this workout. It can be painful and make me want to quite half-way through it, but somehow, I always seem to finish this workout well. Tonight, I had my fastest 4 x 1600 […]

Calgary Marathon 2012 Weekend

Posted on May 27, 2012May 28, 2012 by Robert

A cold morning, but perfect for running! It was plus 1 degree Celsius at 5:30 in the morning. It wasn’t so cold once we got running, however. I ran the Jugo Juice 10 km, and I placed as 1st Masters runner, and 7th overall with the time 34:36. That’s a pretty slow time for me, […]

The Blue Mile Race Edmonton 2012

Posted on May 25, 2012May 28, 2012 by Robert

Uh oh. Missed the start! I ran the fun run mile first with my 8-year old daughter. Soon thereafter, the open Blue Mile race would start, but I thought I had time to go to the bathroom first. Apparently not! I came out of the porta-potty, ran quick towards the start and hear the gun […]

Red Deer Half Marathon 2012

Posted on May 20, 2012May 28, 2012 by Robert

Last year I won the half marathon in 1:16. This year, I had an even better race, with a 1:14:51. However, it was not enough to win today. Still, I am very happy with the time and the way I ran. The race started with a relaxed 3:38 first kilometer. After that, Chris Stone, Dusty […]
