Xterra 2010
XTERRA 2010 - WHISTLER BC
September 5th - was the date of the return of Xterra to Canada - the off road National Championships
The event was held in Whistler with the swim start in Alta Lake, and an awesome technical mountain bike course out of Rainbow Park with a nice run to the finish at Nitka Lake Lodge. Active Life Multisport had a team in the relay event. Sophia Sauter started off the day with a strong swim in the chilly waters of Alta Lake, followed by Heather King who chased down some girls on the mountain bike, and Kelly Wilcox brought the team home with a quick run to the finish to take the win!
We were then treated to an awesome BBQ - likely the best post race BBQ!
Sophia and Heather were then kept busy providing physiotherapy services to the other finishers. Kelly, kindly helped with the set up and take down of the tent. Thank you Kelly and thanks to Laddie for being our cheering section!

Race Report - Stormy - August 8
This weekend four Active Life Club Ladies went to Squamish to test their metal....in the 'running' test of metal! The 50 mile relay was the game of the day - it was a 7 leg trail running race on some of the most classic Squamish trail routes - the weather was perfect, and the day was a blast - here is how it went:
 |
| Erika blitzing the first two Legs #1 & #2 |
Next Charlotte was up for her 2 legs, about 21km full of rolly, twisty trails - so fun!
 |
| Charlotte finishing off Legs #3 & #4, and handing off to Laddie for Leg #5 |
 |
Laddie took over from Charlotte for Leg #5, a quick 11km rip - then Dana tackled 9 mile Hill for Leg #6, likely the toughest of the course, a 24km slog! She ruled it, had a great run and came blazing back for this post-leg photo with the cheering squad....including Bronwyn!
Laddie finished off the final Leg #7 (another 10km or so) - and pulled the team into a great finish.
At the end of the day, the four ladies managed a solid Second Place - less than 5-10 minutes behind the lead women's group - who had seven runners!
All in all, a great race, and amazing company - recommended to all for 2011. Way to go ladies!!
A big thanks to Dana for organizing, and getting us all sorted to make it happen!
Laddie bringing it home for the team - Second Place Women's Open - Yeah!!! A big thanks to Dana for organizing, and getting us all sorted to make it happen!

| Bronwyn Samis - our biggest fan...and biggest eater at the aid stations! |
 |
| Dana S, Erika M, Laddie H and Charlotte O - finish of 50 mile Stormy Relay! |
