Summer in a Snap!

SUMMER IN A SNAP

Summer 2011 is now over. Here is a summary in a few quick snapshots.

This summer was very slow to start- pretty crummy weather till about August, but we managed to squeeze out a few adventuresome weekends  around B.C. in spite of it all.

 I managed some great training this summer, but was disappointed as I was not able to apply it to 'my first 50 miler'.  I trained for two of them, but never ended up making it to either one !  (funerals, etc). I could imagine how disappointed someone would be who put all the training time in for say, a 100 miler, then ends up not going. Oh well.

                                                      Skaha Lake. Memories of this should get me through the winter.
