The Infamous Timed Hike

It was a wet and mild morning as all (healthy) Burkies put their bodies and minds to the test in the infamous timed hike. The misting cloud through which they hiked actually made it more exciting as they crested the hill where I stood; I could barely tell who was coming up through the whiteness. Matt Price came away with the win for the guys, while Bri Trudeau took the girls'. It was a solid performance for all, including a few brave staff AND U14s who voluntarily participated! I should add as well, that it was also fun to cheer with a few athletes who hiked up but could not participate,  staff, and parents.

Below are some photos as they finished hiking the steep part of Training Hill and started running across the hill and through the woods to the finish. Sorry for the blurry photos in some cases, you can clearly see that they are moving!
