Race Reports
Well, like Titanic, this report has not only given the ending away in the title, but has probably taken you as long to read as it would to have to watch it. Sorry about that, but hope you stuck with it.

among them and has written a book to inspire and encourage those tempted to try it, with some practical advice too: A Hundred Reasons to Run 100km.
After finishing a 50-mile run on the trails in British Columbia in August 2010, Dietz decided to prepare for a 100-kilometre (62- mile) ultra three months later. The century distance is drawing an increasing number of runners worldwide. «It is the universal ultra distance,» Marathon & Beyond magazine editor Richard Benyo says in the introduction to A Hundred Reasons to Run 100km.
Vancouver’s Lucy Ryan has run four 100km ultras, finished eight Ironman triathlons and Ultraman Canada in the past four years. In 2005, the mom with a fulltime job had never run farther than a half marathon. «Running 100km gives you a ‘day off’ from regular life. It’s like a vacation of the mind—no thoughts of finances, work, what the kids are up to, etcetera—just pure survival. How often do you get to do that?» Ryan says in A Hundred Reasons to Run 100km.
A
s the popularity of endurance events including the marathon, Ironman and
adventure racing has exploded, more athletes are venturing into ultrarunning.
Squamish author Margreet Dietz, a five-time Ironman finisher and a 3:07 marathoner, is
There now are hundreds of 100km races around the world, on trails and roads. Some run from A to B, others on fixed circuits such as the Fast Trax 100km in Edmonton, Canada, which consists of 10km loops. Runners can participate on their own, or on a team.
In Oxfam Trailwalker events, which are point-
to-point races held in a dozen countries, teams of four also commit to raising money for development projects.
Jen Segger, professional endurance athlete and owner of Challenge by Choice Coaching, advises in A Hundred Reasons to Run 100km, «Choose to race your first 100km in an area that you have always wanted to see and experience. I select races based on location.»
As A Hundred Reasons to Run 100km author Margreet Dietz was finalizing her physical preparations for her century race, she started to ready herself mentally too. She knew that there would be moments during the day when she’d be asking herself why she had entered. An experienced endurance athlete, Dietz knew she’d better have at least one good answer, which turned into one for every kilometre. This book on ultrarunning offers plenty of inspiration, practical tips, and the key reason to run 100km—because you can.
«The book is a very good read—very intuitive for someone who is a veteran of ultramarathons or for those who are attempting their first century distance,» according to Nadeem Khan, director of communications, International Association of Ultrarunners.
A Hundred Reasons to Run 100km by Margreet Dietz is available in paperback (132 pages) through
