Someone once told me that the dopamine rush due to cold water swimming is matched in size only by the dopamine rush that one gets from cocaine. Lacking experience in one of these activities, I cannot attest whether this strange rumour is true. What I do know is that swimming in the ocean feels great.
This event will have two parts: run and swim. We will start by doing a trailrun in Pacific Spirit Park. Then we’ll swim in the ocean. If you want to only run, or only swim, that’s cool too. Update: For the final week we'll also chill out at the UBC sauna afterwards.
Inspired by Noah’s trail-bagging challenge, I’ve mapped out some routes that cover every single trail in Pacific Spirit Park. If you come every week, you’ll run every bit of trail by the end of the year.*
Please join the WhatsApp group where I’ll post meeting locations and times. You can find the WhatsApp link at the top of the signup page.
And please note: participants are requested to diligently avoid bringing cocaine or any other drugs and should take strict care not to be under their influence.
*I don’t count the trails along roads that are basically glorified sidewalks.
