2010 Race Results

St Albert 10 Miler - 1:03:57 - Asics Pro Team - 3rd Women Overall

Krissy Dooling – Sept 5, 2008

Well, looks like the summer is almost gone, the temperatures are starting to cool off and the days are getting shorter. The summer had many racing highlights:

First place in St.Albert 10 miler
Mothers Day second place with a time of 38 flat
Second place in debut mountain race, qualifying for world mountain trophy
Second place in the Red Deer half marathon
Hanging in for a tough 5th in the Calgary Marathon 10km race (tough mental battle)
Second place in the ING Edmonton 10km race
Currently leading Timex Series

I am very excited to be leaving for Switzerland next Tuesday (September 9th) to compete in the World Mountain Running Trophy. I arrive in Geneva on the 10th and bus to the mountain village, Krans Montana. I have a couple of days to get acclimatized then I race on Sunday. All results will be reported for Jack to post on the website. You can check out the event at http://www.wmrt2008.org/pages/fr/

Throughout this exciting time, I have been trying to continue logging the big mileage in preparation for the Kellowna Marathon in October! The long runs are getting up to 30km not (which is out of the box for me!) I’m really trying to focus on picking up the pace at the end of the long runs and making them hurt, attempting to make them feel like the big event.

Thanks for reading and I will check back in with more results.

Run under 3.05 for the marathon.
Run under 1.25 for the half marathon.
Run a personal best in the 10km.
Win races with prize money (hehe).
Participate in more races with after parties.

My name is Krissy Dooling, I am a short blond Newfie who has been running as long as I can remember. I started running when I was in grade 7, I was a competitive figure skater and my coach thought it would be good for my fitness. I started running junior high cross country – I won a few races and I was sold. Soon I was running track and doing road races too. My Mom was the busiest taxi driver in the city between all my competitive ventures.

I ran varsity Cross Country and Track and Field first for St.Francis Xavier University, then for the University of Alberta. My proudest accomplishment as a university athlete was winning the Canada West University Championships in the indoor 3000m.

Since graduating from the University of Alberta (where I earned a Masters Degree in Physical Therapy), I have been running mostly Cross Country and Road Races. I train on the track to develop some speed, but most of my competing is done on other surfaces.

I train with Edmonton Thunder Track and Field Club, along with Stephanie Mills and Chantelle Widney (also members of the Fast Trax Asics/New Balance Projects). In December of 2007, Stephanie and I were members of the Edmonton Thunder team that won the National Cross Country Championships. Other accomplishments of 2007 include a 3rd place finish at the Calgary Marathon 10km in a time of 38.20, being the first place female at the Wednesday Night Cross Country Series, and best of all, winning the K100 relay with the Fast Trax Team (I’m on your bottom right).

My goals for the 2008 season are:

With the Fast Trax Marathon Project I hope to complete the St.Albert 10 Miler, The Red Deer Half Marathon, the HBC Canada Day 10km, the Calgary Marathon Race Weekend (not sure what event), possibly the Edmonton Half Marathon and the Kellowna Marathon. I also plan to don the Fast Trax Logo for the local Wednesday Night Cross Country Series (I did last year too Jack!) and the Fast Trax Series. My motto: Race yourself into Shape!
