Around The Lake Give 'R Take 30K
Had a blast running around Cultus Lake Chilliwack yesterday doing Around the Lake 30K. So much fun racing with others. A beautiful course with some good climbs; it was soggy and overcast but not raining on us. 18.7 miles 4,600 feet 3:51:06. The Garmin track went wonky in parts, most obvious in the elevation profile. Results.
