We at Team HRAdventure finally got around to signing up for the
Moab Expedition Race this October; it's analogous to
Neo taking the Red Pill in the Matrix
since it will be the longest race we've competed at so far . . . 300
miles from October 5th through 8th and it looks to be a great test of
endurance (both physical and mental).
Now, the quest for a strong support person for the race begins in
earnest . . . anybody interested in visiting Utah/Colorado this
Fall? We'll cover your lodging but NOT your plane ticket -- which
means I'm sure I'll be calling on my friends and family in the Denver
area.
Also on the Team HRAdventure schedule is a
36-hour race in Maine this June; looks like a great weekend in New England! I think we'll be doing a few other events too (
GOALS etc). We qualified for
USARA Nationals at
the February race but I doubt we'll go this year either -- I think the trip to Utah will sap our travel budgets and the
Sea & Sand that we're organizing as part of
Virginia Beach AdventureFest is the weekend after Nationals. There's only so many races you can do and still have a "real" life.
I should point out the "Team HRAdventure" that participates in the races organized by HRAdventure is
not competing in the Race Series because:
- Some of the team are helping organize and run the events (I fall into this category as race director).
- The HRAdventure events are a chance to compete with some other friends of ours and let them in on the fun. The personnel is different. Only Mike Jones, for example, is racing this Saturday on Team HRAdventure for the Sproute.
