About a week into our stay the girls discovered that there was a 10k race approaching - The Kootenay Sufferfest. The race is a easy 10k of slight down hill along the beautiful Galena Trail - the old railway grade that follows Carpenter creek from three forks to New Denver. We thought that it was within reach to sign up the whole bunch of us. So we set to our two weeks of serious training!

| Here we are on one of our training runs to porter lake. |
 |
| And the four cousins, all cookie winners! |
 |
| Two happy sisters after the race. |
 |
| Lily and Eric streaking in the final stretch. |
 |
| Alice and Ellen were first and second in 10 and under girls. |
 |
| Lily 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in 11-12 girls. |
 |
| Devon also the only competitor in his boys 13-14 category. Also the 6th man overall! Yay Devon!! |
 |
| Thomson won his category as well as the whole race after claiming that he took it easy due to a sore achilles tendon. Thomson's 'easy' is faster than the rest of us. |
There is not a picture of Molly but she had an amazing run and won her category (13-14 girls) as well as finishing the third woman overall and 9th overall. Yay Molly!
