“Without adventure, civilization is in full decay.” - Alfred North Whitehead

How to win a race like the SPROUTE

Team GOALS ARA, the winners of the SPROUTE, have posted a good write-up on their race and on their approach to the event.  Adventure racers should take advantage of this inside look at how a good team won a challenging event.

They share 5 main lessons they applied to this race:
  1. Everybody works in TA
  2. Get to ropes early
  3. Don't paddle around horseshoe bends
  4. Read the CP descriptions
  5. Use all your maps and any other maps you find at the park or trail

TA is short for "Transition Area" and it's not a stupid question, so don't sweat it.
