Wow. sub 2. Proved it can be done and next up, someone will do it in a race. I couldn’t run this fast for a km! Amazing!

Congrats to the GOAT

Inching ever closer to #goldenultra @TheGoldenUltra 2019. Taper week is the worst; only a few more days until the Vertical K kicks off my favourite weekend of the year! Can’t wait!! #goldenrules #goldengoats

[Ben @N60Runner]

@TheGoldenUltra is coming soon - can’t wait! Got a little training in last week on the Mt. Marathon race route in Seward, AK. #vertical #goldenultra #shaleskiing

[Ben @N60Runner]

@TheGoldenUltra is only 11 weeks away. For the next couple of months of training it will be all about the vertical. Hill repeats anyone? :-) Love ramping up to my favourite event of the year!

He led the #raptors to the promised land, something I wasn't sure if I'd see in my lifetime. He then chose what is best for him - can't begrudge him - even though I wish he'd stayed. #ThankYouKawhi for bringing Larry OB North. @pskills43 - lead us to the next one! #RTZ

[Ben @N60Runner]

Have been #basketballjonesing for some @TheStarters; too quiet without them! Great to see the OPPs (original/ Ont podcast pros) back with @TheFreeAgents19 - who gets signed first - #kawhi or @jeskeets @TasMelas @LeighEllis @treykerby @StartersMatt - clear some cap space @ringer!

[Ben @N60Runner]

I remember the days where it was hard find a basketball score in TO newspapers and there might be a minute of basketball highlights on sportscenter depending on hockey. To see the raps on the front page of the globe today makes me happy as a fan from day 1. #wethenorth #raptors

[Ben @N60Runner]

In Kawhi we trust! Time for a money green breakout game too! Go Raps!! #rtz #raptors #WeTheNorth

@TheGoldenUltra Yukon training plenary last Sat evening with Chris (Golden newbie) and Jeff (Golden vet) @KensingtonWM SMWS offerings fuelled the planning. 7 months until race day so time to get serious! #goldenrules #goldenultra #ultrasarebetterwithwhisky #need2run #drive4five

[Ben @N60Runner]

So far at least three Yukoners are registered for @TheGoldenUltra - one first timer and two wily vets - what better Xmas present to yourself than to sign up for one of the best ultras around? Happy holidays to all! @Magi_Scallion #goldenultra #goldenrules #bloodsweattears

I want to say thanks to my coach @SpaffordHealth for another great year of running - couldn’t get across the line without you, D! Here’s a shot of four of us all coached by Derrick for @TheGoldenUltra 2018 - cheers and thanks, Derrick! #thankscoach #recoverybeer #coachesorders

[Ben @N60Runner]

Team Yukon at the @TheGoldenUltra 2018 - four of us from Whitehorse completed all three days. Want another great ultra? Come visit us in the Yukon for the @recklessraven50 Couldn’t ask for a better season than doing @TheGoldenUltra and RR50 in the same year!

[Ben @N60Runner]

@TheGoldenUltra isn’t the Golden ultra without a beer at 33k at the top of the climb #eebeerforthewin - this year we repped Yukon @winterlongbeer - Pingo Pale Ale was the perfect pick me up b4 the 25k left to go. #yukoncrowler #yukondoit

[Ben @N60Runner]

Gotta give props and thanks to all of the great volunteers at the @TheGoldenUltra @Magi_Scallion @SolanaLeigh, Haley etc - was another awesome year! You guys rock!!!
