Can You Catch a Turtle?

Hey all,

So no doubt you all know about the Wilderness WOD coming up this Saturday – Craig and Adam have put together some super fun events for you to try and all in the wonder of the beautiful outdoors!  What you might NOT know however is that Saturday is also an opportunity to try your hand at a 5k track run…

That’s right – 5k on the track!  Good times for sure, and since it’s on a track, you KNOW it’s 5k and not an inch further.  This run is part of the Victoria Track Series and is the third-to-last event for this summer.  I’m heading out to try and break 20 minutes (PR in 2009 – 20:28) and am hoping some more of our Zoner gang will join me.  All abilities and speeds are welcome and the price is right – $5 if it’s your first run of the year!

You can sign up on the day – just show up before 6pm at Jack Wallace Memorial Track (Oak Bay Rec Centre/High School) – races start at 630pm.

Our very own Chris “Chariots of Fire” Callendar will be out also, chasing the season points title and possibly running in both the 1500 and 5000m races.

I know it’s short notice but if you’re interested, check the link to the series (you can watch videos of prior races) and post to comments if you want to throw down 🙂

QOD: What is your relationship with running?  Love-love? Love-hate? Hate-Hate? and why?
