We've got the biggest race
Team HRAdventure has ever competed in coming up in a week or two; it's a real doosy since we need to ship our gear and our butts and get out to Moab, Utah where the race is.
Here is a link to the actual race. The difficult logistics will be worth it, though, as I know Moab is beautiful and this time of year is ideal to be playing in the deserts, canyons, and mountains of the Southwest. They've already got snow in the mountains out there, so we could see some cold weather during the race (but hopefully nothing like
this past February); it just translates into more gear to pack and ship!
We've been very fortunate to have some kind folks from
Richmond ASR (the team of Pirates, for those of you who did the Storm) offer to do support crew for us; they're arranging their vacation around the race, and we can't thank them enough. We've got an
RV lined up for our support vehicle -- thanks to our support crew renting an RV for their "vacation" and letting us split costs with them to give us a great ride as a support vehicle. I've got some family coming down from Denver to cheer us on, too, so we'll have a good contingent of people to help us along the way.
For those of you not in Moab for those 3 or 4 days, a live leaderboard will be available via
CheckpointTracker and it should let you keep tabs on our progress.
I'll try to keep this weblog updated with our plans and travels over these next few weeks . . . this way you can vicariously race in Moab with us!
