LGRR was welll represented at the "April Fool's Half Marathon" held last weekend at Sechelt. Here are the club members who ran (photographer Frank Stebner):

Left to right they are:
- Kelly Homeniuk - 8th in division, 65th overall in 1-37-22
- Dario Herrera - 1st in div, 9th overall in 1-21-31
- Jeanne Kim - 2nd in div, 77th overall in 1-39-35 (good training for Jeanne's ironman preparations)
- Johnathan Ainsworth - 4th div, 15th overall in 1-23-36 (great to see John out there after watching his exploits on Thursday for the past few months)
- Jordan Myers - jogged much of the run with youngster in baby buggy and ran the last 5K !!
- Mark Williams - 4th div, 22nd overall in 1-25-35 (great effort considering Mark very recently logged the Chuckanut 50K trail race)

- Al Thompson - 7th div, 252 overall in 2-04-32
Not shown above is Tim (Darth Vader) Adkins who ran in costume "to hold myself back for the Sun Run". Honest, guys, I have no idea how Tim could even breathe inside that helmet, never mind run 1-35-38 to place 6th in div and 57th overall. In case you're wondering, he carried a straw to allow drinking at aid stations!
Congratulations to all - this is NOT a flat course and most of our GPS's pegged it a tad long as well. About 450 finished the run.
Thanks to Roger Brownsey for this report.
