| 1. TEAM UNTAMED NEW ENGLAND AT PATAGONIAN AR | | | Andrew Cameron (General Comments)
skip to next Back to top |
Just to let everyone know that two local multi-sport athletes (of the off-road variety) are heading down to Patagonia to compete in what is regarded as the toughest and most remote adventure race on the planet. Just hitting the finish line may earn us a spot on the podium depending on the conditions that the "Roaring 40's" may throw at us. The race starts on Tuesday (Feb 9th) and goes until the following Wednesday (Feb 17th).
The only Canadian team in the race is composed of two locals (James Galipeau and myself) and two teammates from the GTA (Denise Rispolie and Harper Forbes).
You can find all of the links to follow along at www.RaceTheAdventure.com; we'll have satellite trackers on us so you will be able to see us move across the map.
I'm bringing both a still camera and a helmet-mounted HD camera so I'll be able to post some fun media on that website once I get home and rest a bit :)

The Winterlude Triathlon
Wow, that was fun, wasn't it?
Thanks to everyone for participating.
No event of this magnitude would be possible without great volunteers and partnerships. We are very thankful for both: thanks to our volunteers who make our day, and your day, possible.
Special thanks must be given to Mother Nature for the fine dusting of snow received a few days earlier, the bright sunny conditions for grooming on Friday afternoon (creating high humidity snow) and then freezing it firm over night. This is the perfect recipe.
We must also thank Robert Lafleur for his fantasitc grooming of the ski course. Robert proved that good grooming is both an artform and a science, and that he excels at both.
We are very pleased and lucky to work with sthe great people at the National Capital Commission. Every year, it seems, we plan for a normal event, and every year, those plans have to change. The NCC staff work with the utmost professionalism while we re-jig, and re-jig and modify the plans. They let us re-work things and do their very best to make sure things work the way we all want them to.
Thanks as well to the great people at Bushtukah Great Outdoor Gear, who not only support our events, but participate in them as well. They are a fantastic source for all your outdoor needs.
To view the results, please go to www.sportstats.ca.
To view your race photos, click on the camera icon beside your result. This will bring you to ZoomPhoto.
Lost and found itmes and unclaimed prizes will be left at Bushtukah on Monday morning. If you lost something, e-mail zone3sports@sympatico.ca and we will advise if your lost item is one of the found items.
Rick and Don.

The Really Cool Prediction Run
Saturday, February 13th at 9 am sharp on Dows Lake
Now in its 4th year and always a favourite at Winterlude, organized by Zone3sports, the Really Cool Prediction Run pits intuition and luck against running ability to participate in a truly unique event.
The Really Cool Prediction Run is an event that anyone can win—runners try to guess their finish time before the run starts, without the aid or watches or measuring devices. The run distance will be revealed in the morning, but is guaranteed to be more than 5k and less than 8k on Queen Elizabeth Driveway.

There's plenty of advice on how to become a better runner, but, try to focus on what's manageable.
Remember: You started running to feel better, not to become stressed.
----Runner's World Training tip.
How true...there's a whole bunch of coaches out there, but, you can only do what you can....

skip to next Back to top |
The Winterman Marathon and Marathon Relay is quickly approaching the 1000 registrants milestone. Register by midnight February 8, 2010 and enjoy one of the early registration discounts!! Go to www.wintermanmarathon.ca to register. The second annual event takes place Sunday February 21, 2010 at the Canadian War Museum.
This year we are very happy to have ultra-marathoner and endurance athlete Ray Zahab as our official race starter. (Ray has made room in his busy schedule as he prepares for another epic impossible2Possible expedition where, starting on March 1st 2010, he will travel to the far reaches of frozen Siberia.) Ray will start things off for the Winterman at 8:30AM as runners from all over will compete, achieve personal goals, and enjoy a Canadian winter morning with friends and family.
With this many runners, there are always a number of inspiring stories. Run with Joe Cleary who, at 69 years young, will be running his 427th full marathon. Run with Matt Godsoe of Search and Rescue Global 1 who will run the full marathon, his first, while wearing his full search and rescue gear and uniform as a way to promote local volunteer search and rescue. How about Chris Macknie who will be doing a 100km skate on Friday, and 53km ski on Saturday and the full 42.2km marathon on Sunday. With these incredible athletic feats, there are as many equally inspiring stories of those that will be racing for the very first time, using a Winterman race as a first milestone in larger journey.
Bring the kids and enjoy face painting, hot chocolate, snow painting and many other activities for the kids including a guest appearance at race start by the Winterlude Ice Hogs.
The Winterman Marathon and Marathon Relay is very happy to Welcome Chief Vern White and members of the Ottawa Police Service to this years race.

| 13. CUTE STORY | | | Joan Hollywood (Jokes)
skip to next Back to top |
A mother is driving her little girl to her friend's house for a play date.
' Mommy ,' the little girl asks, 'how old are you?'
'Honey, you are not supposed to ask a lady her age,' the mother replied...
'It's not polite..'
'OK', the little girl says,
'How much do you weigh?'
'Now really,' the mother says,
'those are personal questions and are really none of your business.'
Undaunted, the little girl asks, 'Why did you and Daddy get a divorce?'
'That's enough questions, young lady! Honestly!'
The exasperated mother walks away as the two friends begin to play.
' My Mom won't tell me anything about her,' the little girl says to her friend.
'Well,' says the friend,
'all you need to do is look at her driver's license.
It's like a report card, it has everything on it.'
Later that night the little girl says to her mother,
'I know how old you are. You are 32.'
The mother is surprised and asks,
'How did you find that out?
'I also know that you weigh 130 pounds.'
The mother is past surprised and shocked now.
'How in Heaven's name did you find that out?'
'And,' the little girl says triumphantly,
'I know why you and daddy got a divorce.'
'Oh really?' the mother asks. 'Why?'
'Because you got an F in sex.'
