The company that hosts our website is having some server problems so if you're trying to get to
www.HRAdventure.com and the site isn't coming up, we're aware of the problem and the good folks at
OptimizeIT are working on it. I should add that OptimizeIT is a sponsor of HRAdventure and they host our site at a
deep discount (by that I mean free) and they really enjoy the work we do in the Hampton Roads community.
They've been so supportive of our efforts that the President of the
parent company
of OptimizeIT was so excited about the TASC-2 that he volunteered the
property his house sits on as a location for a checkpoint. Racers
on the TASC-2 Sport Course know the checkpoint I'm referring to.
Here's your final bit of HRAdventure trivia regarding OptimizeIT and
ESG International (the parent company of OptimizeIT): the original
course for the 2005 Tidewater Traverse included some of their corporate
property at their location in Toano, VA. We had a checkpoint way
down in a gully off Six Mount Zion Road (during the 2nd bike leg of the
race). During course testing, however, we decided that the course
was running longer than the desired 12-hours max so we dropped this
checkpoint and a few others to economize. These are the "lost
checkpoints" that racers never see and course designers cry over their
exclusion! Racers probably appreciated it, however, since the
course was plenty long enough and some of those other checkpoints would
have been overkill.
Anyway, although our site may be temporarily down, it's not cause for long term concern and everything will be right with
www.HRAdventure.com soon.
